About Us
Buckville Publications LLC and Buckville Energy Consulting LLC are located completely off-grid at 8200 feet elevation in the Northern Colorado Rocky Mountains, 11 miles from the nearest power line or telephone pole. Our offices are powered entirely by solar and wind, with biodiesel and wood-fired steam for backup.
Dan Fink and Dan Bartmann are the owners, and they are also responsible for the popular do-it-yourself renewable energy website Otherpower.com. Dan B grew up off the grid, hauling a car battery up and down the hill to an antique WinCharger turbine to charge so he could watch Star Trek. Dan F moved off the grid in 1991, and spent 8 years in the field installing off-grid renewable energy systems for Dirt Simple Design.
In addition to co-authoring the book Homebrew Wind Power, Dan and Dan's articles and photography have appeared in such publications as Home Power Magazine, Back Home Magazine, Lighting Today Magazine, The Energy Self Sufficiency Newsletter, Zymurgy Magazine, Fly Rod and Reel Magazine, Full Size Jeep Magazine, and The Drake Magazine. Dan Fink is a regular Ask the Experts columnist for Home Power Magazine and weekly blogger for Sunpluggers.com.
