The Broadwell Hill Learning Center is a 65-acre sustainable stewardship project that serves as a learning lab and woodland retreat center. This owner-built, well-insulated, passive solar cabin (still in creation) is custom-designed with respect for the land and the utilization of local materials and construction industry excesses. The off-grid photovoltaic system provides 100 % of the electricity needed and consists of a 2 kW array with an Outback MX60 charge controller, VFX3648 inverter, related equipment, and eight 546 Amp-hour Surrette batteries. (The back-up generator has not been used since this system went on-line in January 2007.) The 74 kBtu/day solar thermal hot water system consists of 2 Gobi collectors, a Heliodyne exchanger, and a 119 gallon insulated water tank. This site offers many learning opportunities, including in the realms of communication and teamwork, conservation and preparedness, soil amendment operations and vermiculture, water catchment processes, as well as a living machine sanitary sand filter, a mobile PV power system, and woodland gardening projects.
