We’re currently looking into the possibility of selling our company Green Gurus, LLC, so if you know of someone that might be interest, please let us know.
We have literally hundreds of prime, green-themed domain names, featuring GreenGurus.net, with beautiful, natural page ranking (with Google), our Co-op America seal of approval, a few hundred followers on our Twitter account, Bank of America business checking and savings accounts, a CA wholesale sellers permit, state id, corporate id, and of course - our solar powered web host account for this site.
Other useful facts:
- Our LLC was filed with the state of California in October 2007.
- Our accountant is with Hutchinson & Bloodgood.
- Our attorney and Agent for Service of Process is Ching C Lim.
We’re interested in discussing opportunities for either investment, outright acquisition or any other offer you might have in mind.
We’ve got our solar powered web server configured and up and running today.
Next we’ll be tying up a slew of details from plan details to pricing to support and billing. We’re taking inquiries now for those interested in going solar for their web hosting needs and will follow up with more details just as soon as we get the final details locked in.
We’ve brought on some new tech heads to help out with some of these tasks but are still (and always) on the look out for great, new team members. Should you have any experience in tech, billing and customer service and support, programming, and the like, we’d love to hear from you.
More on all of this soon.
A Twitter contact recently asked us for any info on reliable voltaic solar cell use for the average home.
As our resident, solar pro, Dr. Ryan Wartena is naturally the most qualified to address this. Here is his response:
“Single, multi-crystalline and amorphous Silicon (a-Si) photovoltaics (PV = solar cell) will all have lifetimes over twenty years, some say the lifetimes are beyond 80 years. The most expensive is single crystal Si (and multi-junction PV) and multi-crystalline Silicon is less expensive and amorphous Silicon is even less expensive. The amount of power they produce is greatest for single crystal Silicon (and multi-junction PV) and multi-crystalline Silicon produces less power and amorphous Silicon even less power on a per area basis. Amorphous Silicon produces about 5 Watts/square foot.
Power has the units of ‘Watts’, power for a duration of time is energy and has the units of Watts x hour or Wh (a kWh is 1000 Watthours or Wh).
Installed costs for all types of PV is ~$5 to $8/Watt, so know how much power you and your application wants. The goal for next generation PV is to get the production cost down to $1/Watt.
Installation costs and racking have often been referred to as the obstacle to making the project economically beneficial because additional hardware is required for mounting and a professional electrical contractor should do the installation. This obstacle may be overcome by next generation PV technologies which will result in lower costs of PV. Sometimes, economics are based on capital costs ( i.e., $/W installed), but this is misleading because vision shows that the payback times on PV can be 1 to 2 years and the economics should be based on what the utility company charges per kWh (between 7 and 23 cents per kWh) and what the vision-based cost of point-of-generation PV is (between 15 and 25 cents per kWh).
Outline:
0. Learn about the different types of PV
1. Figure out how much power you need.
2. Figure out how much space you have to generate that power.
3. Use 1 and 2 to estimate the costs and to help determine the type of PV
4. Contact ryan@nanosolsystems.com for more information”
Hopefully this is an adequate overview for those interested in such information. Let us know whether you think it addresses the question from above adequately or not.
