Welcome to “Forever Home,” a remarkable dwelling nestled in the serene landscape of Lanesboro, Minnesota. This Amish-built home, meticulously designed by owners Joe Deden and Mary Bell, Shawn Saltou of Midwest Design, in collaboration with Greenway Solar and a team of skilled contractors, represents the pinnacle of sustainable living. Let’s explore the innovative features that make this home a beacon of eco-consciousness.

Harnessing Solar Power

At the heart of “Forever Home” lies its commitment to harnessing the sun’s energy. The 32 kW Tesla Solar Roof system, seamlessly integrated into the architecture using cutting-edge Aurora Solar Design software by Greenway Solar, exemplifies forward-thinking design. This smart system optimizes solar energy production, ensuring that every aspect of daily life is powered by the sun.

Advanced Energy Management

The home’s advanced energy management system is where efficiency meets ingenuity. Tesla DC to AC Inverters and a SPAN smart electrical panel provide seamless control and monitoring across all electrical circuits. Whether it’s lighting, appliances, or heating and cooling systems, peak efficiency is guaranteed.

Empowering Off-Grid Living

“Forever Home” takes sustainability to the next level with its 13.5 kWh Tesla Powerwall. This backup storage solution empowers residents to embrace off-grid living for up to three days. Imagine the peace of mind knowing that even during power outages, your home remains self-sufficient.

The Numbers Speak

The numbers don’t lie: “Forever Home” produces an average of approximately 4,000 kWh monthly while consuming just 2,000 kWh. From charging their Tesla Model 3 to powering environmental control systems, the surplus energy generated ensures that every need is met sustainably.

Meet Joe Deden and Mary Bell

Joe Deden and Mary Bell thrive within their personal solar power plant, utilizing only half of what they produce. Their commitment to renewable energy sets new standards for sustainable living. Join them on this journey toward a greener future.

“Forever Home” is more than a house; it’s a testament to the harmonious coexistence of modern comfort and environmental responsibility. Greenway Solar and Tesla have created a blueprint for a world where homes not only shelter us but also power our dreams.
