The Solar Homestead is Appalachian State University's entry in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011. Inspired by the pioneer spirit of the early settlers in the mountain region of North Carolina, we have designed a self-sustaining zero energy home.

Zach Hoffman

Job Tile: Design Team Member

Zach Hoffman takes a much needed brake!
Pot Luck Lunch!!! YUM
What do you like to do outside of your duties at Solar Homestead? "I love biking and reading. Freelance design and spending time outside."

Now that you are on to graduate school at NC State, what three most valuable things did you take away from Appalachian State?

1. The friendships
2. Dedication and follow through
3. Life lessons and knowledge to help me succeed.

Favorite outfit after 4 am for all-nighters at the Solar Homestead?
"Definitely my fleece sweatpants, undershirt, energy bracelets, and a good piece of headgear."

The Solar Homestead would like to thank Zach for all of his hard work and congratulate him on his future at architecture school at NC State. We wish you the best and you'll be missed!
