The 2009 Teen Choice Awards will be broadcast tonight on Fox. Behind all the glitter of the stars on the blue (recycled) carpet, Fox added a hint of green: Mobile Solar Power Systems(TM).
Pure Power provided twin Hybrid S10 systems for the event (seen but not heard in the background, at right), which powered the audio, video and lighting in the press and VIP tents for the popular annual show.
Check here for more info on the show.

“Few events capture the sun-soaked glory of summer better than a county fair, and when the whirling lights and sounds are powered by clean green energy, what’s not to love? Sponsored in part by PG&E, this year’s Marin County Fair was host to a dazzling array of green innovations ranging from an amazing solar-powered carousel to an all-electric auto show to a sound stage juiced by the sun’s rays…
“Another main attraction at the Marin County Fair was a solar-powered carousel. This classic amusement ride has been retrofitted with a stunning LED light display and features 18 horses and a chariot. Nearby a giant solar array soaked up enough energy to run the carousel well into the night. What better way to impress kids with the power of renewable energy?

The integrated system of solar and bio fuel generators is believed to be the first scalable hybrid system working in the Entertainment Industry.
For as long as anyone can remember, rumbling diesel generators have powered movie base camps; the “traveling back stage” of talent trailers, makeup, costume, production and catering that support a production as it moves from location to location.
Now, in the same way the Prius® has taken the automobile world by storm, Pure Power Distribution (Santa Monica, CA) has delivered the Solar Hybrid Base Camp Power System™ that can be scaled to power the base camp of any size production.
Solar First
The Pure Power Solar Hybrid Base Camp Power System automatically prioritizes solar power to reduce the use of fossil fuel and its effects, while ensuring consistent power. The System includes:
- Our most advanced Solar Hybrid Mobile Solar Power System™ – , which is Green Seal-certified by the Environmental Media Association, is an integrated solar/biodiesel power plant capable of producing 166 Amps (18,000 Watts STC) of consistent power and 327 Amps surge (36,000 Watts, STC). When configured with eco-fitted Solar Star Waggons, the Hybrid S10 can recharge from solar at up to 7200 Watts per hour (STC).
- Solar Star Waggons, eco-fitted with solar panels to produce an additional 2,400 watts of solar power per trailer
- Real-time reporting: clients receive real time online web-based reporting from Solar Hybrid Base Camp Power System tracking the solar power produced, the power used, CO2 and other environmental impacts via a custom web portal that is password-protected for the client if needed.

Over a month ago, we did a demo to the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s dept in Martinez, CA. Upon completion of that demo, the County Sherrif contacted us and asked if we would speak at the “State Sheriff’s Association” meeting, at which numerous tactical teams representing emergency services for each county in Calif. were in attendance. Over 200 attended and there were only 3 vendors invited to speak at the event.
We set up a demo at the State Sheriff’s HQ with a 10kw Mobile Solar Power System, which was positioned in front of the building where we spoke to the group.
During dialogue with these State professionals, we heard need for our mobile solar solution ranging from disaster preparedness, remote communications, power to fire command centers, power to civic and traffic control events, as well as search and rescue operations. We are responding to inquiries about power requirements relative to sustained output. The overall response and assessment of the trailer very positive.

Mobile solar is a diesel alternative for off-grid power
The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is constructing a new facility in Salinas, California. This new facility is specially designed to help treat and rehabilitate injured wild animals. With traditional animal trails bisected by freeways, power lines and housing, the opportunity for human/animal contact (with bad results to the animal) is constantly rising.
This facility is being constructed using pure solar power from one of our 10 kW Mobile Solar Power Systems(TM). The system was delivered to the job site early this week, and after a few days of supporting the crew and its equipment, it (the mobile solar power system) had retained a full charge in its batteries. What does this mean? That the solar panels were able to acquire enough solar energy to equalize the power used by the construction crew over several days.
Off grid? This job site is like many construction sites: the power had not yet been delivered. What are the options for power to run equipment, lights, office equipment? Well, until recently, it was diesel all the way, right? Not any more – now a Mobile Solar Power System(TM) can do all that a diesel can do, with no fumes, no noise, no refueling, no toxic emissions.
Wow! The construction site is being completely powered with pure sine-wave electricity from the sun.

We have 2 Mobile Solar Power Systems working a fabulous culinary event in Pebble Beach, California this weekend: the Pebble Beach Food & Wine Expo. The event is being held at several locations in the famed coastal town.
One might imagine an unpleasant aftertaste from sampling the finest wines and foods amidst the noise and smell of diesel generators. Now,
The story was well-captured here in this article in the local news.

Last week we had an interesting encounter that shows how like-minded people – a tribe as Seth Godin calls it – bond over shared values.
Speaking to a rep from one of the West Coast’s largest grocery retailers, who is interested in and diesel alternative (solar) for a pretty ‘outside the box’ application. We give him a business card and the conversation stops…
He’s looking at the back of the card (shown) and says, “I figured you guys would be environmental, but you’re also FSC? We never see this in our industry. YOU’RE OUR KIND OF PEOPLE.”

On March 7th, Pure Power was very fortunate to participate as sponsors of an event called “Faces of Our American Heroes” at the renowned Raleigh Studios in Hollywood. The event was created to provide special wheelchairs for troops who were disabled in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our Chair Scott Chaplan and CEO Norris Lozano attended the event on behalf of the company and were in amazed by the production, and the emotional response to the wheelchairs by the soldiers.
The impact of the event was capt
ured nicely on the local news.
A pair of new PurePowerDTM Mobile Solar Power SystemsTM were on hand to provide pure sine-wave solar-generated power for a variety of electrical needs. We had a single-phase 10 kW unit running all the lights and audio/visual components at the cocktail event, and a new 3-phase “Super 10″ kW unit running the main kitchen refrigerators and ovens.
This was the first time our new Super 10 was demonstrated, and it “barely broke a sweat” in providing an average of 30 amps of power to the kitchen. The Super 10, specially
configured for the entertainment industry, is 3-phase and provides 26,000 watts of power at surge, and 13,500 watts continuous (72 amps per leg surge, and 37.5 amps per leg continuous), and 1,020 amp-hours of power. Cam locks, a spider box and other industry specific features are also included.

Verizon Communications, a Fortune 500(R) telecom company, has acquired a 5 kW Mobile Solar Power System(TM) for use in remote locations. The company maintains cellular communications towers across the country, and servicing remote towers (some quite remote) can be a real challenge.
Many of these towers are off-grid, meaning there is no power supply close by. Our mobile solar product is a great solution for this type of need.
We customized the unit with several unique capabilities requested by Verizon. With clients in a whole host of different industries, with distinct needs, “customization” is likely to be a standard procedure for us.
What’s exciting about a sale to Verizon, from a broad perspective, is that ordinarily such a company would have to transport a diesel generator to a remote site. They would also have to bring fuel regularly (we had a customer complain of having to transport diesel fuel by helicopter!) and keep a mechanic on-call.
The beauty of our Mobile Solar Power System is that all of these issues, which put pressure on the environment, are eliminated.
We are (understandably) proud to be working with Verizon.
