We know you’ve read about our great success at the LA Marathon – here’s what one editor is saying about using portable solar generators to power live events:
“Using solar energy sure pumps up the “heat factor” of performances by making them energy efficient and eco-friendly. Let’s hope that more concerts go eco-friendly and use renewable energy sources instead of burning up fuel.”

March 21, 2010 – More than 25,000 people witnessed 1940’s music powered by 21st century technology, as a Hybrid Mobile Solar Power System™ was used to power the US Veterans Administration’s entertainment stage at the VA Hospital in Westwood.

As the racers coursed through the Veteran’s Administration in Westwood at Mile 21, they were energized by a host of talented singers and dancers – whose instruments, mikes and amplifiers were powered by a clean, quiet portable solar generator.
The racers, families, war veterans and fans enjoyed the music, and weren’t bothered by the noise, exhaust and smell of diesel generators typically used for such live events.
It is believed to be the first mobile solar powered venue in the 25-year history of the LA Marathon.
“The US Veterans Administration does noble work and we are proud to be a part of their day,” said Norris Lozano, CEO of Pure Power. “We were thrilled to be surrounded by the talent on the stage, war heroes in the audience, and courageous athletes on the street. It was a great day!”
Pure Power Distribution (www.PurePowerD.com) used a “Hybrid S10” Mobile Solar Power System™ to power 7 high-energy acts throughout the 8-hour day. Sound checks started at 7am, but because of the intense Southern California sun and the Hybrid S10’s solar capture ability and deep cycle batteries, the Solar System actually ended the 8 hour work day with more energy in its batteries than when it started.
It was Pure Power’s first live stage show with The Show Pros/Laguna Creative (www.TheShowPros.com) – the first of many, if today’s success is any indication.
Pure Power Distribution will helping US Veterans show their “green side” by providing solar power to the Veteran’s Administration entertainment stage located along the LA Marathon route this Sunday.
The stage, which will feature a variety of performers to entertain and encourage the runners, will be situated on the corner of Eisenhower Avenue and San Vicente Boulevard at the Veteran’s Administration in Westwood, will be powered by a “Hybrid S10” Mobile Solar Power System™. 
“At a time when the United States is involved in two foreign wars, we at Pure Power are especially proud to support the US Veterans Association with solar power,” said Norris Lozano, CEO of Pure Power. “And we sincerely admire the 25,000 athletes that are going to run the race.”
