Extreme Makeover Home Edition Features
Solar Power
The May 22, 2005, edition of ABC's TV show, "Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition,” showcasing the makeover of the Terry and Percy Piestewa home in Tuba
City, Ariz., will feature solar and wind power electric systems provided through
PerfectPower, Inc., an Arizona solar and renewable energy integrator and turnkey
systems provider. These solar and wind appliances will provide 65 percent to 75
percent of the Piestewa's daily electric needs.
PerfectPower joined Shea Homes, a major national home builder, and Southwest
Wind Power, a wind power manufacturer on the project to provide these
energy-saving products.
The solar system includes black SunPower panels and a black Unirac anodized
SunFrame for the panels. The PV Powered Inverter installed will provide the
family with approximately 12 kilowatt hours of electricity per day on average.
The Whisper Link wind generator adds another 6-7 kilowatt hours of clean silent
power.
