About the Maker(s)

Phil Jergenson

Phil Jergenson is an artist and systems designer who enjoys building solar powered machines. "I enjoy chasing dreams and testing new ideas. I am a trained model maker and self-taught machinist and metal fabricator. I have lived off-grid for 30 years, and spent 15 of those building and living in micro-houses in remote locations. I have scratch-built more than a dozen small solar-powered vehicles, some of which are tractors and work vehicles." Phil is a co-founder of the Renewable Energy Development Institute (REDI), a 19-year-old nonprofit in Willits, California.
