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.

If you find yourself in Portland, Oregon this weekend, get down to the River for WAKE JAM PDX. Not only will you see some of the best boarders, bikers and music available this summer, BUT you’ll also see one of our new Super 10 Mobile Solar Power Systems in action. 
The Super 10 will be providing pure solar power directly adjacent to the Main Stage (if the huge solar panels don’t catch your attention, just find the banner that says POWERING CHANGE). Ask for Dave Watson – he’ll show you around.
WAKE JAME PDX will be remembered as a landmark application of mobile solar power: thousands will attend the two-day event to enjoy the competition, eat, enjoy the music and dance … and our solar system will be providing up to 18,000 Watts continuous power – with No Fumes, No Noise, and No Emissions into the glorious Oregon skies.
So your Bridgeport or Deschutes summer ale will be clean and crisp, with no aftertaste of diesel exhaust

“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.

A few months back we blogged about how we provided power for a super green production of a video series for the National Wildlife Federation.
The production, made in conjunction with a nationwide campus competition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions called Chillout, had a wide variety of stars, producers, musicians, directors and producers involved.
Check the video on YouTube

Working with the Green Screen
Kudos to the ridiculously talented Melissa Balin, the diverse and dedicated stars, and her exceptional crew who brought together the National Wildlife Federation’s webcast for the “Chillout 2009.”
“The webcast is a low carbon footprint production, going well beyond the industry’s sustainable filmmaking guidelines, and has been recognized by the Environmental Media Association’s Green Seal Program for using the film industry’s best environmental practices. The production used the Red Camera–a 4K camera system that is filmless and tapeless, cabling directly into a hard drive, eliminating wasted film, tape, and chemicals. The lighting was Lite Panels’ LED system, and the lights and production were powered by solar energy thanks to a solar generator provided by Pure Power Distribution and a portable solar-capturing tent from FTL Solar. Even the teleprompters were made from recycled materials!”

Hundreds of volunteers in the San Francisco Bay Area came out en masse to help 
Habitat for Humanity frame 20 houses in 4 days during the Earth Day Build-A-Thon. The construction was powered by a 10 kW Mobile Solar Power System(TM) that did an outstanding job of keeping the equipment running smoothly during the 4-day build. Lots of media (CBS5-KPIX) came to the event and were greeted by the solar system which was located in the center of the action.

We just got a call from an Indian executive living in Dublin who is working to establish renewable energy solutions in Africa by calling us in the US for a renewable energy solution (I guess our Search Engine Optimization is working…). This gentleman told of rural villages that have no power except diesel generators – schools, hospitals, the works. (Imagine the impact the diesel emissions are having on schoolchildren and patients – just awful.)
But in thinking about going totally off-grid with no dependence on fossil fuels, it’s humbling to see that the small island nation of Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles, has all of us squarely in the rear-view mirror.
Check this: “By the end of 2009 44% of the island’s energy will be produced by wind turbines. The remaining 56% will be produced by bio-diesel fuel derived from algae, an organism that does not take food out of the supply chain, enabling the island to shift 100% sustainable energy supply within five years.”
Back to work!

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.

The excitement over the Shiloh II wind farm in Solano County is understandably high. The project is using 30-story windmills to generate renewable power for 74,000 homes and is creating green jobs.
Take a look at this video clip from local TV station KCRA (Channel 3).
Notice that the people giving interviews have a beautiful backdrop – our Mobile Solar Power Systems, which were powering the
event! Think about it: a very important benefit of using one of our “solar gennies” is not just in getting green power at the same cost as diesel, it’s also in the media value of having solar on your set, your farm, your construction site.
Last, have a look at this piece by Wayne Freedman, a terrific San Francisco reporter who quotes Robert Frost…
