Building solar villages with Ryan Wallace

Place is unique. It defines and shapes culture, food, architecture, and communities. On this episode of The Regenerative Real Estate Podcast, Ryan Wallace, the founder and CEO of The Solar Village Company, talks about how the places we've lived shapes our lives.

This is a fascinating episode that gets into climate change adaptation, migration, building triple-bottom-line companies, net-zero and off-grid properties, modular construction, and so much more.

Ryan discusses lessons learned and offers a unique perspective about building Net Zero homes. For instance, he talks about the vastly increased zoning challenges he faces when going to develop a sustainable community of Net Zero homes versus a "conventional" subdivision that gives little regard to self-reliance or natural ecosystems.

The Solar Village Companydevelops residential homes for sale and rent in sustainable communities that produces their own energy, food and water. They also build semi-custom Net Zero modular homes for clients wanting off-grid housing options.
