: Tim Erdman; "Erdman is the owner and operator of the Last Dollar Community Solar Garden, just outside Telluride, behind the airport. He bought the property around 2010, with the hopes of creating a small solar garden. Now, after close to a decade, his dream has come to fruition. Erdman describes the solar garden as a passion project, or a labor of love. He spent his career as an architect, designing medical clinics across the country. But he says ever since he was a student, getting a degree in natural energy systems, he’s believed in the importance of alternative power. So, aside from selling subscriptions for the solar energy, Erdman says a large focus for him is showing individuals how easy solar can be."
