Pineapplefish Luxury Villas have just completed one of the most extensive installations of Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels and Hot Water Heaters that Anna Maria Island has ever seen, across their vacation rental properties.
A British couple and passionate 'Green' entrepreneurs, Mike and Lizzie are the owners of Pineapplefish, the Anna Maria General Store and the developers of the forthcoming Anna Maria Historic Green Village. They are making a huge impact by investing in a number of significant and perhaps unusual green projects. As well as PV solar panels and hot water heaters on their buildings, the Green Village will also introduce other technology and intiatives including ground source heat pumps and even recycling old buildings!
Of this latest activity, Lizzie Thrasher said; "whilst as Green Entrepreneur's, we fully appreciate and advocate the use of green energy in our homes, I am no technical epert, so working with Tom Stockebrand, who is not only an expert, but our neighbor, and our contractors, Solar Direct and Harrimans, we have received excellent guidance. We are passionate abut energy efficiency in our homes. When we use the air-conditioning for example, the very think that causes the house to use energy - the heat of the sun - can now generate the electricity to cover it".
