IPED was founded in 1975 to provide on-site and online instruction-based educational seminars, and has emerged as one of the leading organizations for national audiences of professional executives. IPED is committed to promoting affordable housing and community development throughout the United States, and to educate industry participants these areas.

Lozano’s panel included top industry executives from the accounting and legal professions discussing the challenges and opportunities of financing renewable energy projects by structuring state incentives with federal subsidy, utility rebates and private equity and debt. Over the past 5 years Lozano has led teams that have provided key financing for over $1.1 billion in tax credit transactions, including groundbreaking projects combining New Markets Tax Credits, Historic Tax Credits, Business Energy Tax Credits, Tax Increment Financing and private funding to provide triple bottom line returns. As CEO of Pure Power, Lozano closed the first Mobile Solar Power investment fund in the US in 30 days.

Solar-Powered Swing Singers, LA Marathon 2010

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.

“With this selection, Pure Power has been identified as among the best early-stage companies in the US focused on solving environmental and social problems facing our world,” said Norris Lozano, CEO of Pure Power. “We are honored and look forward to presenting our company and vision to this esteemed group of socially-missioned investors.”

Investors’ Circle is the premier meeting place for social entrepreneurs, investors, business professionals, foundations, non-profits, and those passionate about creating a sustainable economy.

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.”

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.

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!”

The impact of the event was captured nicely on the local news.

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. 

 

Pure Power mobile solar power systems are a completely natural fit for this event, as with virtually any off-grid situation such as construction sites, movie sets, mines, disaster sites, farms, vineyards and ranches. All of these share: a remote (off-grid) location, the need for reliable source of power (the sun) delivered reliably (our system) that leaves no carbon footprint (no fumes or emissions here) and can be taken away without worry about environmental remediation from diesel spills or leaks.
