"Passive solar is the technology of the history of all life forms. But its not sexy these days." - Steve Kenin
This week on Voices of Taos join assistant editor Geoffrey Plant as he talks with solar pioneer Steve Kenin. Kenin shares how he became interested in solar energy in the 1970s when he moved to New Mexico from Philadelphia. During this time he started a passive solar company, Solar Resources Inc. The company created kits for homeowners to add Solar Rooms to their homes and thus help combat expensive utility bills. Kenin has recently developed a new passive solar invention, the Solar Bubble. The Solar Bubble is an aluminum-framed, plastic-sheathed pocket of air that, affixed atop part of a roof or wall, produces warm air that is directed by thermostat and fan — powered by the electrical grid or solar panels — into a home or business. Kenin hopes this technology is accessible enough for lots of different people to use on their homes.
