My Two Cents

I’ve spent two decades reporting on the housing business from both the trade and consumer side. While writing editorials for Custom Builder provides an outlet for my personal views, I only get to do that seven times a year, constrained by space limitations. Now that I can share my thoughts with you a lot more often, I hope you’ll share yours, too.

Solar and wind power providers do exist in Northeast

To the reader from Tennessee who wanted to know if there are any providers of solar or wind power technology east of the Mississippi, the answer is yes. Check out Gamesa, a manufacturer of wind turbines based in Philadelphia, and SunTechnics Energy Systems, a provider of solar photovoltaics, solar thermal, solar water pumps and small wind power equipment based in Paoli, Pa. SunTechnics is a division of the Conergy Group, a German company that is the largest installer of solar PV in the world.

The source of this information is Tom Tuffey, director of the PennFuture Center for Energy, Enterprise and the Environment in Philadelphia. Solar is just starting to catch on in Pennsylvania, Tuffey says, but New Jersey is one of the world's best solar markets.  

I haven't come across information on manufacturers of hydro generators in the eastern half of the U.S., but will share anything I find.
