I wanted to say welcome to Matthew Nash and also to respond to his interest to build residential products with Sola Roof technology. We now have small scale designs coming along for just this purpose and these plans will be published under our Open Source license so that anyone can access.

We expect to see four sites in four counties implement projects based on these plans within the coming year. The sites are in Norway, USA, UK, and Malaysia. The UK site is to be established with support from Schumacher College - with discussion underway now. This is also subject of an Entry that has been made to the BFI Challenge where we have brought our proposal for support. Our Entry is called "Eco Living Habitat" and the sites where the design for small modular structures will be implemented with support (if we win)will all be explicitly committed to Open Source collaboration to make available and OS Eco Living Curriculum ? though eLearning internet interface.
