Nestled quietly off a small, unpaved road in Alpharetta, Georgia, this home is the perfect example of America's grassroots effort to convert to renewable energy. With a large koi pond and a greenhouse containing one of Georgia's most diverse orchid displays, the owners decided they should do something to offset their energy-intensive hobbies. “The main reason we decided to install solar was our high electric bills, finances, and the fact that it's a renewable resource are why we decided to go forward ..I mean, we have all this sunshine, why waste it all?”
