Why Go Green?

Demand for alternative energy sources that are environmentally friendly is rising fast. Preferences are shifting towards consuming responsibly as both businesses and individuals alike see benefits in utilizing sustainable energy practices.

Businesses can gain goodwill and positive word-of-mouth marketing by being energy responsible. Meanwhile, individuals can benefit from being proactively involved in helping the environment at the micro-level. Both groups also profit from long-term savings based on a reduction of fossil-fuel usage and the non-monetary costs of running fossil-fuel-based power options like noise and pollution.

The SolMan

Our main solution to meet the demand for alternative energy is the SolMan. The SolMan is a portable solar generator. It is the ultimate plug and play electricity producer. The SolMan works like a traditional gas generator, but doesn’t let off constant noise or pollution and does not need re-fueling to continue running.

World's Most Energy Efficient Refrigerator

Sun Frost refrigerators and freezers are amazingly energy efficient.
With this refrigerator, your solar powered home becomes both feasible and affordable.
Energy consumption for refrigeration is typically cut by a factor of five!

Why Efficiency Matters

Efficiency always matters. Whether you get your power from the grid or a renewable energy system, efficient appliances save you money and help spare the environment. It's also better for the environment because fewer electric appliances and devices in your home mean less need for manufacturing processes that negatively impact the ecosystem.

However, in off-grid living efficiency is more than beneficial, it’s essential! This is because you do not have grid power to fall back on. Conserving energy lowers the cost of your power system by reducing the number of solar panels and batteries you'll need. Most importantly, energy efficiency minimizes the amount of time you’ll need to run an expensive generator for power in periods of little or no sunshine.

Change How You Think About Power

Put It Together. Own Your Own Personal Power!

There really is a natural symmetry about the power production and power conservation equation. What comes out equals what goes in less the loss due to system inefficiency. Sometimes we have to step back and take a longer view though. What seems cheaper in the short run may turn out to be much more expensive in a more detailed analysis. Especially when you take into account cumulative, environmental, subsidized, and other costs.

What has become clear is that for every dollar you spend on conservation and efficient applications, that equals 3 to 4 dollars in costs you would spend on either point of use power generation, like solar component costs, or the true costs of large centralized power production for the grid. There are also many immediate and long-term benefits of being more responsible and in control of your energy use and creation.

Why Go Solar?

Solar energy has never been more popular – and it's no wonder why. Global oil supplies are growing scarce and more expensive every year. Furthermore, the evidence against continuing our dependence on fossil fuels has been growing by the day. So now is the perfect time to make an investment in the World's most abundant renewable energy resource, sun power.

There have always been compelling ecological reasons to use solar power in your home or business. Thanks to falling costs, technological advances, enlightened utility regulations and government incentives, solar power now makes economic sense as well.
Whether you live in a rural area outside the reach of the conventional power grid or are plugged into the utility power lines in your urban or suburban home, you can take advantage of solar power to offset soaring energy prices – and help the planet at the same time!

Be Environmentally Savvy

Powering your home or business with solar energy demonstrates your commitment to a healthy environment and a more sustainable future for us all. Photovoltaic (PV) systems emit absolutely zero greenhouse gases that cause global warming.
Consider just a few facts that support the decision to go solar:

• A typical three-kilowatt residential solar system keeps almost two tons of CO2 (carbon dioxide) out of the atmosphere each year.
• A solar power system requires just 2 to 3 years to generate the same amount of energy used in its production.
• 40 percent of all CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel-burning result from the generation of electricity.

Monetary Costs Associated With Blackouts

• A 2006 heat related blackout in Queens, New York that lasted nine days was estimated to cost $188 million to the community (1).
• The cost broke down into a price tag of $77 million for residents (based on personal, housing and medical expenses) and $116 million for businesses.
• Based on these numbers, blackouts cost residents $49.17 and businesses $687.61 a day (See Table 1).

This gives a nice look at the average costs associated with blackouts on a per day basis. These figures can only be expected to rise as both groups continue to increase their usage of and dependence on technology.

Regarding the projections of these numbers to other markets, the cost could be lower for businesses in areas with less population, depending on consumer base size for the firm and the cost per item/service not sold.

However, for residents in rural areas, these costs can be higher due to increased commuting times for emergencies and to reach shops and/or locations with electricity. Furthermore, the increase in natural events has only led to higher costs.

Overall, weather related disasters for the turbulent 2011 caused a record $52 billion in damages (2).

A Safe and Sound Financial Investment

Based on the costs associated with blackouts, solar power becomes a more financially desirable option. You cannot find a cheaper source of clean energy than PV power. Electric utility prices are widely expected to continue to rise. Making the sun your own power source will help protect you from rate hikes for 25 years or more and blackouts that occur in sunny times of the year.

With incentives such as state rebates and federal tax credits, you can significantly lower the initial cost of your PV system and reduce the time it takes to earn back your investment.

In today's uncertain financial world, investing in solar power makes even more sense. The return on your money will only grow over time, your investment is virtually risk-free, and installing solar power increases the value of your property. How many investments today can make these claims?

Hassle-Free Independence

With no moving parts to wear or break down, solar power systems offer years of trouble-free use. Solar panels make no noise and emit no pollution whatsoever. Solar power reduces your dependence on non-local energy sources and helps you control your energy costs no matter what is going on in the global energy markets.

 

Lower your energy costs over time or eliminate them entirely – invest in solar power now!
