Spotlight
Inspired by the Al Gore documentary “An Inconvenient Truth”, Indradeep Ghosh and his wife Anita were determined to reduce the carbon footprint of their 1997 home. They decided on a complete retrofit of their house, replacing every gas appliance with all-electric ones, installing solar panels on the roof and purchasing fully electric vehicles.
“The water and space heating works perfectly. The induction cooktop is super-fast and a breeze to clean. The EVs are a joy to drive. And now, with my solar panels providing all my electricity during the day supplemented with SVCE’s 100% carbon-free energy during the night, I have successfully achieved a zero carbon footprint in all my energy use.
I have hosted several open houses to demonstrate to neighbors and the community how essential and affordable going all-electric is. In fact, the retrofit project actually spawned a graduate level course in Electrical Engineering at Santa Clara University Introduction to the Smart Grid that I teach as an adjunct faculty.”
