NOTE: As of September 2005, the owner of Lapp Renewables (Steve Lapp) has started as the coordinator of, and Professor, in the New Energy Systems Engineering Program at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ontario. This was an exciting opportunity for Steve to work with students who want to make their careers in energy efficiency and renewable energy, and the college is putting substantial effort into this area of training. Therefore, Lapp Renewables (the company) is being scaled back to special projects only. Emails will still be answered, but on a day by day basis. We are not taking on any further consulting work.
Check out the program Steve is coordinating at:
St. Lawrence College fulltime Energy Systems Engineering Program The college program also has a great training facility called Energy House, where students work with most renewable energy technologies in a hands-on environment, in classrooms powered by Photovoltaics:

The PV Hybrid Prius Project
As of January 2006, the PV hybid car project continues, see the link below to our PV Hybrid project progress report. The project has generated many inquiries, but we are not making the product commercial at this time, but we do continue to refine the design and talk with potential supporters of a more in depth engineering approach.
Lapp Renewables Ltd. offers in-depth analysis, design and equipment installation support of renewable energy systems for residential and commercial applications. The company is owned by Steve Lapp, a professional mechanical engineer with over 25 years of experience in design, building, testing and installation of alternative and renewable energy-based equipment. Expertise in energy analysis and project engineering is complemented by practical hands-on design skills.

Renewable and efficient residential energy system design
Working directly with individual home owners and small businesses is the only way to determine exactly what renewable energy systems will meet the owners goals. We can provide complete solutions for:
Workshops, presentations and other project areas
We provide workshops and seminars on a number of topics:
The Photovoltaic Hybrid Car Project - daily transportation using the sun's energy!
This summer we are building a hybrid car that will use photovoltaic electricity to reduce gasoline consumption, see the page below for specifics on the project. It is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate how PV can reduce our transportation fossil fuel consumption and emmisions.
