Solar panels light up Amish life in new ways

Solar panels are popping up on Amish barns and homes, quietly changing daily life in these traditionally off-grid communities. While the Amish have long avoided public electricity, solar lets them stay independent while ditching kerosene lamps and diesel generators. That means cleaner air, fewer health risks, and a big step toward sustainability—all without connecting to the grid. Folks in the community say solar has really taken off in just the last few years, and it’s now powering everything from chicken houses to workshops. How do you feel about this blend of old-school living and new technology? #Business #Industry #Amish
