MHProNews has learned from canberratimes.com.au in Australia that Gundaroo, pop. 300, will be the first town in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales to receive an off-grid solar-powered modular home. Prominda delivered the home with wiring and hot water units in the walls, plumbing in the floors and insulation in the walls, ceiling and floor in all three modules of the three-bedroom, two-bath home dwelling. Set on a steel foundation, the three units will be welded together; the 16 solar panels on the nearby shed which will power a four-kilowatt system to power the home. Bottled gas will supply heating, cooking and hot water for the $254,000 home. ##
