When David Bolt arises before his family and the sun, he wends through darkened rooms, LED flashlight in hand, to avoid turning on the lights.
It's one of numerous practices the Harriman resident and entrepreneur has adopted to save energy.
Through a combination of energy-saving and energy-generation technologies, Bolt transformed the family's 1970s rancher on the shores of Watts Bar Lake into a net-zero energy-producing home. That means that over the course of a year, the amount of electricity the home produces equals the amount of energy it consumes. |

Typical Home Thrives on Deep Energy Upgrades

You might not know this is a net-zero home by looking at it -- that’s the point Creating at least as much energy as it consumes, this 1970s ranch on a lake shore in Tennessee resembles most other Middle American homes, which is a good thing. It is proof that you can work with what you have, don’t have to be fancy or complicated, and can accomplish a lot. Owner and renovator David Bolt says of his net-zero home, “We haven't paid a utility bill since April 2006." |

Clean energy from the sun is being harvested on a rooftop in downtown Lenoir City, out of view from the pedestrians walking
the sidewalk below.
Ben Tuner, owner of Lock Medic, has been in the process in recent months of remodeling his building on the corner of B
Street and Broadway so his business can move down the block in the coming weeks.
As part of the renovations, Turner accessed grant money on federal and state levels to become a green energy provider for
the local power grid.
"I've always been into solar," Turner said. "For me it was more about being able to provide green power." |
