Solar power and green energy have become so important
to our economy and vital to our economy and budgets, we've added this section to our website. Here we will tell you
about developments in solar power, wind power and other forms of green power, and we will tell you about the companies offering
these green power systems and companies that are using green power systems. We will also tell you about the newest green
systems that will help you save energy and save power at your home and business.
FOAM ROOFING AND INSULATION SAVES MONEY AND ENERGY
Update July 5, 2011 When we first heard about this we were intrigued by the concept:
a foam material that can be sprayed on a roof to not only waterproof the roof but also adds insulation to the roof.
This is ideal for industrial buildings with flat roof designs that typically don't have much insulation at all, but it is
also used on residential buildings and can also be applied to traditional roofs. This foam roof coating sticks to the
roof that it is sprayed on and it is very durable and has an Energy Star rating. The company offering this foam roofing
system is called Ocean Seven Roofing and it serves all of Southern California. Call them at (800) 972-7773
or go to www.OceanSevenRoofing.com for information.
Here are some of the highlights about this foam roofing system:
It is fast, light weight, is priced right and offers a great value, it is durable, and offers waterproofing and insulation.
Because building owners will save on energy, it can literally pay for itself from the energy savings. Watch our TV report
below.
Update April 18, 2011
GotSolars.com is a full service solar power company offering installations for homes and businesses in the Southern California
area. GotSolars.com is at 12518 Collins Street, Valley Village which is part of North Hollywood.
For a free consultation about your solar power project call (800) 651-8786 or
go to their website www.gotsolars.com for information.
Your first step is the free consultation because every home is different. The experts at GotSolars.com will start by talking with you about your
energy needs and project goals. They will review your electricity usage and bills and evaluate your home based
on amount of sunlight it receives through the day and the amount of available roof space. This will allow GotSolars.com
to come up with a formula that will show you your costs and benefits for a solar system and they will then provide you with an initial project estimate to show you how generating your own solar power can lower your
electrical costs.
In some cases when you don't
have the ideal southern exposure on your roof, certain adjustments can be made to help improve the efficiency of your solar
panels. These adjustments can include alternate mounting methods for the solar panels. We spoke with clients and
cutomers of GotSolars.com who told us they were pleased with the quality of service, the expertise of the company, and how
their monthly electric bills plunged with the power generated from their new solar systems. These customers were also
advised about rebates from utilities and tax savings available from the government.
What many homeowners overlook when estimating the cost and benefits of a solar system
is that the installation of a solar system will also add to the value of the home and property. GotSolars.com uses the
best available technology including inverters and solar panels with a 25 year manufacturers warranty. There is financing
available. They are licensed with Lic. # 895039 and they are fully licensed, bonded and insured. GotSolars.com
can also advise you about local rules and regulations and how trees that might shade your roof can legally be removed even
if owned by another property owner or by local government. Our video reports are below.
Update May 26, 2011 In the video below you find out why
Got Solars is able to install a solar power system for less than what its competitors charge. Some of the reasons include
its low overhead, and it has its own crews and designers and does not have to subcontract with other companies who raise prices
along the way as they add their own profit margins.
CARDINAL LABORATORIES
IN AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, HAS A 100% SOLAR POWERED BUILDING
Cardinal Laboratories is the maker of quality pet grooming products and other pet products and
now its offices and factory in Azusa, California, is a 100% solar powered facility. On October 29, 2009 the switch was
thrown taking the Cardinal Laboratories facility off the power grid, and the company started to harvest power from the 340
solar power panels on its roof. The Cardinal facility sits next to huge power lines, but instead of drawing power from
those lines, Cardinal will be sending surplus power that it generates onto power lines for other consumers in the Azusa area.
This becomes the first 100% solar powered manufacturing and distribution center in the pet products industry devoted to the
production of grooming products, and its one of the first manufacturing plants in California to be powered by the sun.
The companies that were involved in the project include Innovative Mechanical and Electrical, Inc. of Temecula and Siliken
Renewable Energy of San Diego. I was the master of ceremonies at the ribbon cutting and the throwing of the solar switch
at Cardinal.
Cardinal is a leader in manufacturing pet grooming and pet supplies for pet
specialty stores. Cardinal’s Gold Medal Pets brand is known for its pet health
care products. Look for the “Healthy Pet Café” display of Pet Botanics brand dog treats
and dog food rolls. Their Crazy
Dog Train-Me! treats are the “Official training
treat at Petco training classes.”
