Charity Needs Shipping Containers

Charity Needs Shipping Containers

We need 20' or 40' shipping containers to convert to single unit houses for the Homeless, Elderly and those who can't qualify for a loan. I am going to try again to raise money to build a 20' demonstration container home as an example to show what a Container Home looks like.  Jesse Smith

One of my favorite Container Homes.

This is one of my favorites. 2 40'S

CONTAINER SUB-DIVISION

We are considering building a  sub-division of container homes and this is one of our finalist.

Our thoughts include solar panels,wind turbines and rain catching system.

This is the photo of the container house I plan to build

I plan on putting solar panels on the top roof and 2 wind turbines, a water collection system and grey water plumbing. I also plan to have it elevated 48" in case of flooding. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. With the solar panels and wind turbines I shouldn't have any electricity bill.  Jesse

Redneck's New Home

I think this is a very good example of a Container Home. Using the steel beams as your support structure is tremendously stronger than any wood frame. No worry about the weather or Termites.  Maybe I am a redneck.

Be  sure to look at all the pictures!      Just in case you are  thinking about or looking for a new  home.    The  fastest and most inexpensive way to build a  house! Ø  Who Said  Rednecks weren't  Innovative.   These were sent to me in an email. The pictures have active  links to owners site.

One of the best Solar and Wind Energy Companies.

WeKnow Technologies is now introducing combined Wind and Solar Energy Solutions!  We buy in volume and pass the savings to you!  We can beat the price of any professional system designer! We provide ground mounted PV systems or custom roof designs based on your properties orientation and roof layout.

Prior to offering solar energy solutions, we sharpened our pencils and asked the tough questions: Why do so many solar companies go out of business? The answers.. it looks like an easy business anyone can get into (many have tried), but it requires professional design. Very similar to the small wind industry, there are installers and then there are renewable energy professionals. As a leading renewable energy professional, WeKnow Technologies will professionally review each proposed site and design for maximum site production. We have nearly installed over 400 Wind Turbines, we will now (try) install solar on every home in Texas and Oklahoma! 

WeKnow Technologies is a Solar Energy / Wind Systems Integrator and Energy Management Company dedicated to facilitating the implementation of renewable energy technologies for commercial, industrial, governmental and residential home owners.

GUARANTEED WARRANTY COVERAGE!
Unlike most things consumers buy or build the TEXAS STATE LAW: requires an "Electrical Contractors License " to advertise, write contracts and install Wind Turbines or Solar Panels.  The contractor license must be displayed on web sites, business cards, contracts, invoices and sales agreements.

Solar Ivy Nears Commercial Availability

Solar Ivy Nears Commercial Availability

via Green Building : Jetson Green by Preston Koerner on 3/16/10

Sustainable design start-up SMIT has been working on solar and wind powered facade technology for a while under the GROW moniker.  Now, the company is about to blow the lid off the solar-powered GROW with commercial availability.  SMIT is using a new name and website, Solar Ivy, for the biomimicry-inspired innovation made with recyclable polyethylene leaves, Konarka Power Plastic organic photovoltaics, and a structural stainless steel mesh system. 

SMIT standardized the product for flexibility and ease of maintenance.  If one leaf malfunctions, the company can replace it with another. 
Also, depending on the application and leaf opacity, Solar Ivy can be used to control heat gain, light transmission, and views from the inside.  It's flexible and the leaves can be made in myriad colors. 
In terms of energy production, according to a recent article in Metropolis, each leaf produces about about a half watt of power.
