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.

Much is made in the sustainability press and blogosphere about the environmental bottom line. In the Elkington taxonomy of financial, social and environmental benefits, the second bottom line often takes a back seat to the environmental. At minimum, second bottom line benefits are challenging to accurately quantify, and often point to issues that are not easily solved by a project, a product, or even a company.
At Pure Power, we strive to produce environmental results with our corporate work, but almost every member of the team contributes to the community in a meaningful way through non-profit work. Below is a short list of the non-profit organizations that PPD staff support, work with, and in some cases, lead:
Cox Cable in Santa Barbara is running a :30 commercial about the Mobile Solar Power SystemTM , as well as a 5-minute video-on-demand piece showing how the construction industry is embracing solar, and the great new means of delivery of dependable, silent, emission-free solar power.
If you’re a Cox customer in the Santa Barbara area, you can see the commercial on A&E, National Geographic, History Channel, Fox News, HGTV, TLC, Travel Channel, CNN, CNBC, and Fine Living.
If you’re not a Cox customer, you can see them here.
Last week the executive directors of the Forest Stewardship Council-US met in Los Angeles for their quarterly board meeting. Power for the meeting, including all the computers and communications devices, was produced by a Mobile Solar Power SystemTM.
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

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.
A huge California wind farm got an assist from the sun today – Pure Power Distribution was on hand to provide mobile solar power for the dedication ceremony of the Shiloh II Wind Project in Rio Vista, (Solano County) California. It was a glorious renewable energy photo opp, so we’ll post pictures here tomorrow.
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.
