ENGLEWOOD — Juergen Kroos and his wife Katharina recently installed solar panels on the roof of their home on Eden Drive and now they’re living in a green Eden, they say.
One set of solar panels is for their electrical needs, the other for heating water. The couple drives hybrid cars and grows an assortment of 50 fruits and vegetables from pineapples to mangos in their garden.
