On Monday, the 660-square-

foot Michigan Solar House (MiSo) 

will be moved to Evart, Mich., in 

Osceola County.

Constructed for the 2005 Solar 

Decathlon in Washington D.C., 

the house was a collaborative, 

interdisciplinary project between 

students and faculty from the 

Taubman School of Architecture 

and Urban Planning and several 

other University departments. 

Since its completion, MiSo has sat 

in Ann Arbor’s Matthaei Botanical 

Gardens as a public exhibit to help 

raise awareness for solar power and 

technology.

The house was sold to Lisa and 

Matt Gunneson last fall. This week, 

the couple will begin transportation 

of the house to their property in 

Evart, where they will live in the 

modular, solar-powered house full-

time.

When the house was placed 

on the market by the UM Finance 

Procurement Services last October, 

the Gunnesons knew they wanted 

to make MiSo their home. Lisa 

Gunneson, a natural health 

therapist and educator, said they 

were looking for a house that would 

allow them to live a more natural, 

back-to-the-earth lifestyle.

“When we heard the solar home 

was up for auction, we put in a bid 

because we really want to live a 

simple, self-sufficient kind of life,” 

Gunnerson told MLive.

The Gunnesons also had a 

special connection to the Matthaei 

Botanical Gardens: the couple went 

to the gardens for their first date, 

and were married there in 2015.

The house — covered in 

aluminum casing and 30 solar 

panels — converts solar energy into 

hot water that provides power for 

all the house’s heating and electric 

needs. According to Architecture 

Prof. Harry Giles, the original 

faculty supervisor for the project, 

the house produces more energy 

than it uses. Inside the home, 

MiSo has a living room, kitchen, 

dining room and one bedroom. But 

Giles said it would be possible to 

expand MiSo into a two-bedroom, 

950-square-foot house with the 

addition of more modules.

The creators originally 

designed it as a prototype to be 

mass-produced, though they have 

not yet built anymore like it. It 

was “envisioned as a residential 

module that would be universal, 

autonomous, and easily transported 

around the globe,” according to the 

Taubman School’s website.

Geoffrey Thün, associate dean 

for research and creative practice at 

the Taubman College, told the Daily 

in October that the goal of MiSo, 

and of the whole Solar Decathlon 

competition, was to expose more 

Americans to renewable energy 

living.

“It was a mechanism that was 

set up by the Department of Energy 

whose role was to try to expose 

new thinking associated with 

renewable energy to as wide a group 

of American citizens as possible,” 

Thün said.

Tomorrow, the Ann Arbor-

based company Meadowlark 

Design + Build will transport the 

house from the gardens to the 

Gunneron’s Evart property. The 

Gunnesons hope to be living in the 

house full-time by spring. In the 

meantime, they’re working with 

Meadowlark to make the house a 

net-zero impact home, meaning 

it would be completely self-

sustained.

 “This is a one-of-a-kind 

home, and our expertise in 

sustainable construction will 

help ensure the Gunnesons 

transport and restore the home 

exactly to their specifications,” 

said Doug Selby, CEO of 

Meadowlark Design + Build, in 

a press release to PRNewswire.

com. “It’s also a labor of love, as 

two of our staff members, Jen 

Hinesman and Melissa Kennedy, 

were part of the University of 

Michigan team that created the 

MiSo back in 2005.

University of Michigan Regent 

Ron Weiser (R) is expected to head 
the Michigan Republican Party 
beginning in February, after his 
only opponent dropped out of the 
race.

Scott 
Hagerstrom, 
who 

directed Trump’s campaign in 
Michigan during the election, 

posted on Facebook Sunday he 
was withdrawing from the race 
for Michigan GOP chair and 
endorsing his opponent Weiser.

In his statement, he praised 

Weiser’s history and expressed 
Weiser’s 
preparation 
for 

Republican leadership.

“After meeting with multiple 

members of the Trump White 
House, I’ve decided that the best 
way I can help make Michigan 
Great Again is to withdraw from 

the race for MIGOP Chair,” 
Hagerstrom wrote. “This is not 
the end, but the beginning of 
something great. I am confident 
that Ron Weiser understands 
that the future of the Michigan 
Republican 
Party 
lies 
in 

embracing 
the 
constitutional 

principles that led to President 
Trump’s historic victory.”

Weiser and Hagerstrom were 

the only two candidates up for 
the position. In a Facebook post, 

Weiser lauded Hagerstrom for 
his continuing work with the 
party and said his help will 
be imperative in the coming 
months.

“Scott 
is 
an 
excellent 

leader who is very important 
to 
making 
certain 
that 

Republicans 
win 
again,” 

Weiser 
wrote. 
“We 
will 

unite our party for victory 
in 2018 to elect a Republican 
Governor 
and 
Republican 

US Senator who will help 
President Trump implement 
conservative policies for our 
nation.”

Hagerstrom is not the 

only 
endorsement 
Weiser 

has received for the position. 
On Thursday, Trump’s Chief 
of Staff Reince Priebus and 
Chief Strategist Steve Bannon 
penned a letter recommending 
Weiser for the position.

In the letter, Priebus and 

Bannon wrote the best way 
to maintain control of once-
blue states like Michigan is by 
nominating Weiser.

“Our task now is to keep 

Michigan a red state, and Ron 
Weiser is the right choice to 
lead that charge as Chairman 
of the Michigan Republican 
Party,” Priebus and Bannon 
wrote.

Weiser 
announced 
his 

campaign back in December. 
The position was vacated by 
Ronna Romney McDaniel, 
who will be heading the 
Republican 
National 

Committee.
