THE ENERGY ISSUE<br />

Living by<br />

the Sun<br />

Kris Doll’s love for her family<br />

farm leads to her energy-efficient<br />

home and lifestyle.<br />

BY LAUREN DEMA<br />

EASTERN IOWA FARMER<br />

Not being able to flush the toilet and run the air<br />

conditioner at the same time is just a small<br />

price that Kris Doll pays to live off the grid<br />

with solar panels.<br />

Her love for her family’s rural Onslow property,<br />

where she grew up swimming in the pond she can see<br />

Rather than running<br />

power lines to the<br />

site when she was<br />

building her house,<br />

Kris Doll decided to go<br />

off the grid and use a<br />

combination of wind<br />

and solar.<br />
