Pure Power Gets a Place at the Table

Mar 11, 2011 – A bright red streetcar wends its way through downtown San Diego, and that’s not the only sign of environmental efficiency in this California city of just over 1 million. At a March 9th Executive Roundtable Discussion at the San Diego Daily Transcript, leaders at all levels of municipal, tribal, defense organizations and private companies discussed their intense focus on keeping the environment in the forefront all of decisions. What they’re finding is that these “green” decisions always yield financial, organizational and community results.

For Christopher Smith, of Pure Power Distribution (www.PurePowerD.com), the “Triple Bottom Line” is a foundation of the company, so these results are quite obvious.

Green Builders: Mobile Solar Power Systems are ready to rent!

Even as the economy tries to decide whether to move upward, some number of construction projects are coming out of the ground here in California. And to power this new construction, Pure Power is offering Mobile Solar Power Systems on a rental basis. If you are planning or operating a construction job site and want to use solar, the clean renewable power source, please contact Pure Power or call us at (310) 569-9151.

WHY USE SOLAR IN CONSTRUCTION?

Not only do Pure Power’s solar generators produce enough pure, clean, quiet power to run a typical job site, but there are real economic and health benefits to using solar:

1) Economics

Imagine having to continually purchase fuel for your generator – $3.50 or so a gallon, day after day. And imagine paying a guy to go get the fuel, and fill it – that’s what, $50 a trip – plus productivity lost while he’s making the trip? And thenpaying another guy to lubricate and tune up the generator…. with a solar generator, none of these costs occur (and the rental rate is competitive with a diesel generator).

2) Health

A generator is a generator, right? Not really! Let’s start with the immediate impacts of a diesel generator: NOISE. A typical diesel generator produces about 100 decibels of noise -workers, managers, neighbors – - everyone gets annoyed (at best), and has actual physical reactions at worst (see link)

How about DIESEL EXHAUST? The EPA says that diesel exhaust contains 40 carcinogenic compounds. Um, anyone want to breathe those all day?

Diesel also comes with a delivery mechanism for those cancer-causing compounds – they latch onto diesel soot (particulate matter), and can be breathed deeply into sensitive lung tissue. Perhaps this is why the California Air Resources Board put this press release on its home page)

THE BIG PICTURE: GLOBAL IMPACTS OF DIESEL GENERATORS

A typical diesel generator creates over 22 lbs. of carbon dioxide for every gallon of fuel used. That’s not so much a local impact as a global one – do you want your jobsite to be a climate change contributor?

Mobile Solar Power Systems are Editor’s Product Pick in GreenSource

More than 27,000 green building professionals traveled to Phoenix, Arizona last week for the annual Greenbuild Conference sponsored by the US Green Building Council. They were the first to see the current issue of Greensource Magazine, in which Mobile Solar Power System™ were featured as “Editor’s Product Picks.”

Greensource featured our Hybrid S10 model, known for being an uninterruptible power source that can be used for long hours on rugged construction sites. The onboard Tier 4 biodiesel generator, which runs B20 biofuel and extends the life of the batteries, is an important feature.
