Description of Case Study: We built a solar-powered home in Salisbury. Over the past 4 years we have discovered what it really means to live off-the grid in NB and what is and is not’t out there for support and information.  We hope to help inform and support others who choose this lifestyle.  We also have a commitment to changing  NB public policies and programs to better support renewable energy technologies and the people who chose sustainable options.
