This project was based upon potential micro-alternative energy implementation at the George D. Aiken Forestry Sciences Laboratory located on Spear Street in South Burlington, Vermont.

Micro-Alternative energy is the rapidly expanding field of small-scale, renewable generation of electricity that can operate with or without connection to the power grid.

Currently, micro-alternative energy is nothing more than a growing niche, used mostly in developing countries. However, with more development in the field it can become a more viable option for future widespread implementation, as there are types of micro-alternative energy suitable for basically any environment.
