To interested friends and neighbors;

There will be a tour of the Mayhews’ Solar Home on Saturday, October 15th, from 10- 3
located at: 60 Campbell St., Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538

Please come visit this 2,950 sf solar home with attached greenhouse, solar hot water, solar hot air and solar electric systems. It is a demonstration of green building practices that includes a synergistic blend of an attached greenhouse with 1,00 gallon (thermal mass) pool, a radiant floor heating system on the lower level, a mini split dx heat pump on the 2nd floor, and the solar air heating system on the 3rd floor, inside of a superinsulated building envelope. The grounds have raised organic, produce and flower gardens, beer hops, apple, cherry and peach trees and is situated on an elevated location, with a south-facing harbor view.
This home is a very close to net-zero energy, and is often net-zero electric. This 35-year work-in-progress is incrementally approaching net zero energy.
This tour is part of the American Solar Energy Association’s Solar Home Tour.

Participants can enjoy the silvery glow from canoes provided by the nature center as they glide along Little Dyer Pond after a beautiful mile-and-a half hike into the woods.

Space is limited by the number of boats available, and preregistration is required. More information and registration is available online at midcoastconservancy.org/events. Bring flashlights or headlamps for the hike back to the parking lot.
