House with Solar Panels on 16th Street at Billy "Crash" Craddock Bridge

On 16th Street, just east of the Billy "Crash" Craddock Bridge, and near Cone Mills,  you will find this little white house with blue trim and solar panels. The house is in pristine condition and the owners must be very conscious of energy consumption. 

We stumbled on the house by chance, out photographing Buffalo Presbyterian Church and the Billy "Crash" Craddock Bridge. If you are from elsewhere, you might not know that the 16th Street Bridge was recently rebuilt and renamed a few years ago for the country rockabilly singer who was born, nearby, in Greensboro. If we were journalists, we'd want to interview the home owners and find out just how "green" the house is.  Hats off to these good neighbors for harnessing solar energy!

How sweet! How patriotic and proud. It says so many positive things about the family or person who lives there. It has to be someone worth knowing.

Those panels may hay cost as much as the house.

Pretty. Blue and white always makes me think of Greece (well, pictures of Greece).
Why do the panels look white? Reflection of the clouds maybe?

OK, so solar panels aren't necessarily pretty. But I'd have them on the roof of the condo anytime if the other owners were ready for a long term investment.

Is this how they look like. I've heard if your house produces more electricity them you use the power company is required to buy it from you. It is such a heat - the AC is working hard in my house - I wonder how much electricity these panels provide...

So neat and tidy and kudos to them for their solar panels!

Very charming house! And made even more wonderful because of the fact that the owners care enough about the environment to install solar panels.
