So we were particularly proud last week to be hosted by Preferred Pump at the World Ag Expo in Tulare, California. This is the largest annual Agricultural expo in the world, with representatives from 72 countries at the show. Pure Power and Preferred Pump were a great combo for the hundreds of visitors to the booth, where we showed two types of Mobile Solar Power Systems(TM), the S48T and the Hybrid S10, taking turns powering a 10 hp pump.

The “48″ is the world’s largest Mobile Solar Power System, and has a 72,000 watt / 600 Amp capacity. The operator can move its panels to track the sun via electronic elevators – imagine moving banks of solar panels catching the sunlight -  a very cool “wave” that brought visitors every time we moved them.

Not exaggerating about the hundreds of visitors – with up to 10 Preferred Pump and Pure Power people fielding questions from 8 to 5 each day of the show, we easily spoke to over a hundred each day. 

Most common complaint: “I’m tired of paying that utility check every month, and it’s about to go up again.”

This relationship is off to a great start!

“This is a huge day for renewable energy,” said Norris Lozano, CEO of Pure Power, “There are very few work environments that need as much power as feature films, and this new unit can deliver 600 Amps (72,000 Watts) with a single driver/operator.”

Avoiding a ton a day of CO₂

Pure Power’s customers care deeply about reducing the carbon footprint of their projects. Over a 50 day shoot, a solar system can avoid 50 tons of CO₂ by not using traditional portable diesel generators.  Solar generated power can cut the CO2 output by 90%.

The S-48T measures 48 feet in length; needs a single driver/operator, and can provide feature films, TV productions, music performances and special events with silent, clean energy with no emissions. It can be plugged into the base camp system in cases of extreme load.
