The only barn-mounted installation on this year's tour, Pigkiss Farm anticipates 100% of their electrical needs to be met through their 2 kW solar array plus their 10 kW wind turbine. Motivated by a long time interest in alternative energy research and systems and a desire to be more energy consumption neutral, the site owners have cut installation costs by taking on parts of the installation themselves.
