East Coast Honda Receives Environmental Stewardship Award Presented by Southpoint Solutions as a Result of Completing Their Energy Efficient Lighting Project
Myrtle Beach, SC (PRWEB) January 31, 2013
East Coast Honda, a Myrtle Beach area automobile dealership recently completed a project to upgrade their existing lighting systems to reduce electricity costs and improve lighting quality. At the same time their reduced electricity usage has resulted in less greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity production.
Southpoint Solutions worked with East Coast Honda to develop and implement this project utilizing the patented technology of Orion Energy Systems. The existing lighting system, which consisted of over 146 inefficient high-intensity discharge (HID) light fixtures, was replaced with Orion’s high-intensity fluorescent (HIF) technology.
As a result of the project, East Coast Honda expects to cut its light-related electricity usage, and associated costs, by almost 70 percent. An added benefit is that lower electricity usage means less fossil fuel emissions associated with electricity production. By completing this project, East Coast Honda has indirectly reduced the amount of air pollution by 303.9 tons which has an equivalent impact of saving 37,745 gallons of gasoline annually or planting 83 acres of trees.
Honda is driving to align themselves with their environmental missions set forth in 1992. They have made it a mission to preserve the health of humans and the environment. Honda has opened three LEED Green-Building certified facilities with a total of 11 LEED certified facilities.
Kirt Cahill, the controller for East Coast Honda, said “We considered four other vendors that proposed systems that included LED and induction technology, but felt that Orion’s high-intensity fluorescent fixtures were the best fit for their needs. Not only did they fit their needs, but there was a price advantage with the Orion product.”
East Coast Honda is the greater Myrtle Beach Honda dealer with a mission to make every customer a customer for life by consistently providing world class services. For more information, visit http://www.eastcoastcars.net.

Adam Capital, Solar Solutions Close $ 500k Renewable Energy Loan Agreement
Sonoma, Calif. (PRWEB) April 28, 2010
Adam Capital Clean Energy Asset Finance, the leading collateral-based lender serving distributive commercial renewable energy developers, today announced the closing of a $ 500,000 loan with Arizona-based Solar Solutions. Solar Solutions plans to use the loan to install approximately 100 kW of residential solar systems in the Phoenix area.
“The agreement with Solar Solutions is a prime example of Adam Capital’s unique lending model of securing a renewable energy loan primarily by federal grant payments made in lieu of tax credits,” said Adam Boucher, founder and CEO, Adam Capital Clean Energy Asset Finance. “By leveraging federal payments and local utility incentives as a source of collateral and repayment for renewable energy loans we are able to provide small energy developers like Solar Solutions with a reliable source of capital to move forward with project installations.”
Most of the rooftop solar systems to be installed and financed with the Adam Capital loan will power all of the homes’ or building’s electrical usage using a net metering agreement with the local utility. Net metering allows the system to store daytime energy on the grid. The homes’ meter runs backward drawing on the surplus energy stored. The homeowners pay for any energy used above what has been stored via the net-metered system. Each homeowner pays a nominal $ 3 to $ 10 per month for the net metering service.
Adam Capital offers collateralized loans between $ 250,000 and $ 3 million to commercial scale renewable energy developers of Solar, solar Thermal, Wind, Waste to Energy, and Biofules. Adam Capital offers developers the ability to provide Internal Financing and Internal Leasing to their clients with 10-200 kilowatt (kW) systems in rebate-rich West Coast markets.

Renewable Energy Solutions For A Greener Environment
Mar0
Nowadays, when everybody is talking about global warming, it has become important for everybody to think about environment. Renewable energy sources are the solutions to all problems leading to global warming. Several countries have adopted renewable energy models in order to maintain greener environment. Nowadays, even common people have started thinking about an alternate way of getting their energy requirements fulfilled using renewable natural energy sources like solar energy and wind energy.
Renewable Energy Solutions
It is tough to fulfill the ever increasing demand of energy nowadays. Day by day, energy needs are growing like anything. Be it household energy needs for everyday chores or for transportation. Fossils fuels like Petroleum, Natural Gas and Coal all are not capable of serving the energy needs of human beings for more than four decades. So, people started thinking about alternate energy sources. Biomass based fuels and other sources like hydroelectricity, wind energy, and solar energy have emerged as the real solution.
Solar energy is the most popular source of energy all over the world. Due to the cheap solar energy equipment and easy presence of sunlight everywhere, solar energy is the most easily available source. Keeping the potential in the field of solar energy, several companies have started manufacturing solar energy equipments. Photovoltaic cells are being used to convert solar energy into electricity which can be used for the lighting purposes or other in house electricity needs.
Nowadays, solar water heaters or heat pumps are also being used widely. One of the most popular uses of solar energy is in under floor heating. The concept is very much popular in countries with extremely cold climatic condition.
Solar Energy and Environment
The effectiveness and benefits of these equipments resulted in instant popularity of such equipments. They are a greener alternative of getting electricity. Using solar energy equipments has no drawbacks from environmental point of view as the process of energy conversion (from solar energy to electricity or heat) doesn’t leave any residue or harmful elements for the environment.
Another advantage is the savings of hard earned money. A majority of solar energy equipment users have reduced their energy bills using this wonderful alternative of getting energy. People are also free from any kind of worries related to scarcity of fuel and traditional energy sources.

Solar Power Solutions for Your Home
Mar0
Energy crisis, peak oil – is it any wonder that more and more people are checking out the benefits of renewable energy and specifically solar power? Solar power is environmentally friendly and easy to use.
Solar power solutions for your home have so far been seen as too costly and difficult to install. People would be surprised how relatively inexpensive and easy it can be today to install solar power at your home. By installing solar power solutions at your home, you can drastically reduce your electricity bills and contribute to the next generation being left with a green and functioning environment.
In this article, we will look at three different solar solutions for home use:
Solar Oven/Cooker: One of the easiest ways to use solar energy is cooking with a solar cooker or solar oven. There are different devices available, like panel cookers, parabolic cookers or box cookers. These cookers are based on the principle of concentrating the sun’s energy into one area, using mirrors or other reflective material, which generates enough heat to cook and bake.
Solar Power for Heating: The solar collector, a dark painted box with a glass cover through which pipes are fed, is the main component of a solar heating system. Filled with anti-freeze, the fluid in these pipes is heated by the sun’s rays. The heat exchange is happening in the hot water storage tank, where the pipes from the solar collector are threaded through. Both, the pipes from the solar collector and the hot water storage tank are separate closed systems, so that the working fluid does not contaminate the hot water.
There are active systems, where the fluid is moved by pump and passive systems, where the fluid moves by natural convection.
You can use the generated hot water for different purposes, like running hot water for kitchen or bath, for house heating or even heating the pool, if you have one.
Solar Power Generation: The light rays of the sun can be turned into electric current by using certain materials, which is called a photovoltaic effect (PV). A young French scientist by the name of Becquerel was the first to identify this effect. Later in 1923, Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for his theories describing the photoelectric effect, which is the basis for the photovoltaic processes.
It was not until the sixties and seventies of the 20th century that the PV technology was made more reliable and also cheaper by the space industry using this technology in their space craft.
By connecting many individual solar cells you can form a photovoltaic module and the size of it and the amount and intensity of the solar rays determine the voltage and current you can generate.
You must utilize solar energy when it is available or store it for later or continued use, as it is not available at night or on overcast days. Rechargable batteries have to be used to store the surplus solar power generated electricity.
Today, solar cells have become very efficient and are readily available.
Even a not so experienced home-handyman can now create his own do it yourself solar power system, saving a lot of money. At the same time you can show your neighbors how environmentally responsible you are and that you contribute to solving our energy crisis.

The Benefits of Renewable Energy Solutions
Jan0
Some people may not want to admit it, but the world is slowly moving towards an energy crisis. Non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels are much closer than people think to becoming extinct. We have always known that the everyday energy we use is not unlimited, yet it is constantly being taken for granted. Oil, gas, power, even water has limited availability. Yet, we have not taken nearly enough precautions to deal with a very real threat of an energy crisis. When I say ‘we’, I am not referring to the governments of the world, but to all of us, the common people. We are the ones who can make a difference.
To neutralize this crisis, it is important that we learn to reduce our dependency on energy sources that are non-renewable and start focusing on energy solutions that can provide us with a continuous source of energy that will not exhaust any resources. There are 3 main sources of energy which fall into this category: hydro energy, wind energy, and solar energy.
First, let’s look at hydro energy.
Hydroelectricity is the most widely used form of renewable energy in the world. It is typically generated on a large scale by way of hydroelectric dams. Although it is indeed a renewable source of energy, hydro energy comes with some drawbacks. Hydroelectric projects have been known to have negative effects on surrounding aquatic ecosystems. One example, is there are studies that have shown that dams along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America have reduced salmon populations due to their preventing access to spawning grounds upstream. A major disadvantage to hydroelectricity although rare, is the risk of dam failure. In Southern China, the Banquio Dam failure resulted in the deaths 171,000 people and left millions homeless. Although it is an effective source of renewable energy, it is not as environmentally friendly as the other 2 main sources of renewable energy, wind and solar power.
Let’s look at wind energy.
Windmills have been around for thousands of years. They are older than electricity itself. In pre-industrialization times, they were used to propel sailboats and ships, they were used to pump water, and they were used as a means of natural ventilation in buildings.
Wind power has many advantages: It causes absolutely no pollution whatsoever. It consumes no fuel and has practically no effects on the environment at all. Wind energy can help generate tonnes of megawatts of electricity. When employed at home, it can help do away with conventional power sources which will reduce your electricity bill and can even eliminate it altogether. Wind power is an excellent source of continuous, renewable energy.
Finally, let’s look at solar energy.
Solar power is by far the most available source of continuous, renewable energy on the planet. It is easily capable of providing the world’s total current energy demand many times over. Solar power solutions at home are another way of dramatically cutting down power bills or even completely eliminating them altogether. Also, solar power has no effect on the environment whatsoever. It is the most environmentally friendly source of energy in the world.
Setting up your own wind and solar system not only benefits you by cutting down your power bill, it benefits everyone by helping to stop the dependency on non-renewable resources.
Wind and solar power solutions at home are not as costly as one might think either. Even if you are on a budget, you can easily set up a wind and solar system at home.

With the world slowly moving to the much-dreaded energy crisis, it is important that we reduce our dependency on non-renewable sources of energy. Non-renewable sources being renewable are about to get extinct. Renewable energy solutions refer to those energy solutions that can keep churning energy without exhausting the resources.

Some Renewable Energy Solutions
Jan0
With the world facing an energy crisis, it is becoming more important to try to conserve our non-renewable sources by reducing our dependency on them. We can reduce our dependancy on them by using renewable energy solutions to replace the non-renewable energy sources we use to produce electricity. Renewable energy solutions refers to those renewable energy sources that can produce power without exhausting our natural resources which are limited. There are three types of renewable energy sources: solar energy, wind energy, and hydro (water) energy all of which are viable solution to our ever depleting non-renewable energy sources.
Solar Power: The sun is the most abundant energy source on the planet and has always been a source of heat and light. Anyone can take advantage of this free source of power by using the solar power solutions at home. When using solar power at home you can reduce your power bill and you will be helping the environment as solar power does not pollute. Some of the solar power solutions at home consist of solar cookers, solar heating systems, solar hot water systems, solar lighting systems, solar dryers, and … well you get the picture we can do a lot with the suns energy.
Besides from being environmentally friendly and saving you money on those power bills solar power solutions at home is also cost effective. In a short time these systems will pay for themselves, they are low maintenance so they save time, money, and effort to maintain. Some also believe cooking with solar power is much more health for you than the conventional means of cooking.
Wind Power: The wind has been used to do a lot of work way back before Christ was even born. Windmills were used to tow boats, pump water, and even to turn large mills that crushed wheat and out to make flour. Then during the industrialization period wind mills were put to use to produce electrical power. When using wind power solutions at home, you can generate enough power to free yourself from the power companies and their ever increasing costs. The wind is another one of those excellent renewable energy sources that can help us reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.
Hydro Power: Water is yet another source of renewable energy that is abundant on our planet. Hydro power accounts for 90 percent of the renewable energy sources that we use today to create power. Dams Are built to divert the flow of rivers through water turbines which turn massive electric generators thus producing the electricity that we use on a daily basis. Although water is a renewable energy source there are problems associated with building dams. Blocking the flow of rivers adversely affects the ecosystem downstream.
With the abundance of sun light and wind we should be able to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels just by using solar power solutions at home and, if we live in a region with good air flow with wind power solutions at home.
