Hello , World! My name is Art Kennedy. I am a city bus driver in Eugene and Springfield, Oregon, USA. That photo over there was taken by my friend Pam on a break in the drivers' room at the Eugene Station. Do you see that word in red letters on the bulletin board in the background? Yep, been a union member for almost 35 years now.
This is my very first attempt at blogging so let me state my purpose up front. In 1980 I began working on a very interesting solar energy project in my home. It has been almost 100% my own design and construction. I say almost because of course it has not been done totally from scratch and I have benefitted from the ideas and experiences of others.
I will be going into lots of detail in future posts but for now I will sum up by saying that the system has worked out very well in some ways and not so well in others. I am well aware of which is which and have ideas for bringing it all up to snuff but I am not so sure that I still have the energy (!) and inspiration to make it happen.
The name of this blog comes from the fact that until now I have been rather possessive about the project in much the same way an artist might be jealous of control over the creation of a painting or sculpture - hence, SOLO SOLAR. The time has come for this to change . . .
. . . so here it comes SOLO SOLAR OPENS UP !
Warning, I take a long time to tell a story but if you are interested in alternative energy I think you will find it interesting.
Let me hear from you.
Best, Solo Solar
