Home Power magazine archive (Free!)

I recently discovered (thanks to Living Web Farms' resource section) that Home Power magazine has uploaded three decades of their archive to their website, homepower.com.  Pretty cool free resource to learn more about solar, wind, hydro, and more.  Enjoy!

Hi George;
Just so happens I was a subscriber from their very first mag to the last ones that they put on paper!
I still have quite a few but over the years I've loaned them out with instructions that they be returned...
Sadly I have what I have  but no longer a complete set...

Great Magazine, I used to look forward to each months new issue!
Nice that they are still available for folks to learn from.
Thanks for sharing!

I still miss the "things that work" section. They would actually review equipment and give you all the pluses and minuses. In their last years they seemed more like an advertisement for the companies so they would give you long tables of information  on all the gear but no review or critique. I have the first 20 on CD somewhere. Great magazine in it's prime.

Howdy,

I also remember "those days" of early off grid power.  I think I had a "free" mail subscription.  

I met Bob'O Schultz on tree planting reforestation contracts, back in the day of reforestation worker co-ops. (names like Hoedads, Mudsharks, ENTS,Green Side Up...)  

Used to see Richard Perez at the  Oregon Country Faire, outside Eugene, with his off grid elec booth, back in the 1990's!  There wasn't a lot of information in those days about setting up/maintaining small micro hydro systems...trial and error learning experience.

I am also 30+ years off grid...gave away all my HP mags.
