Whole Energy Solar

About Us

Sustainable Energy
Whole Energy Solar is about Sustainable Energy. We began in 2002 with the completion of a solar model home using state-of-the art solar electric, solar hot water and space heating, solar snow melt and especially passive solar design (the latter accomplished by passive solar designer extraordinaire Rebecca F. Bundy, Design for Sustainable Living, LLC). For six years now we have been evangelizing and extolling on the virtues of clean, renewable, distributed energy. We’ve been fortunate to realize a number of exciting and attractive projects. Have a look at a selection of our designs under Projects—we hope the example set by these progressive home and business owners will inspire others to a more sustainable future.
