3 Why Do Business With Us?

1) We are a small company.
This allows us to give you personalized service.
2) We sell many items.
Only items that are instock and ready to ship will be
priced on our website.
When you see a website that has seven to ten day shipping, do they have
the items in-stock?
3) We have been living with and selling alternative energy equipment since
the mid-1980's.
Just check the Home Power Articles from 1991 on this site.
4) We can make a deal on some large quantity items without having
to ask someone if it is ok.
5) We can tell you if an item is in stock and how many we have because we
will go to the shelves or parts bins and actually see the stock, not hope that
it has been updated on a computer screen.
6) We stock items that other's don't.
This can sometimes make the difference between your system being
completed or just sitting there collecting dust.
7) We will tell you where to find something if we do not have it.
8) We will help you in any way we can.
9) We offer trouble shooting of your system.
10) We want you to know what you are buying so that the only surprise is a
pleasant one.
11) We only carry quality items.
It is better to sell good products than to sell junk that will fail when it
is used.
Many of the items we sell are for emergency or back-up use.
When you need it, it has to work.
Some of our customers purchase power equipment from us to operate
oxygen generators, compressors and ventilators for medical use.
There is no second best when providing power for this type of
equipment.
12) We accept Mastercard, Visa, PayPal (with PayPal you can

our website.

14) We look for the deals, make the offers and pass the savings on to you.
The special purchase items are from deals we have made to purchase
a manufacturer's or distributor's inventory on a particular item.
On some of the items we stock, like safety disconnect switches, circuit
breakers and fuses, the prices are up to 90% off of their original cost.
15) We gladly accept special orders.
16) You will NEVER receive an e-mail nor phone advertisement from us.
We do not maintain a data base to bother our customers with.
17) Any order information you give us stays on a paper invoice, not in a computer.
This is why, when our repeat customers place a phone or fax order, we ask for
their information again rather than go through our filed invoices.

answer you want.

As a kid in the early 60's I saw a movie on television called "The Flame Barrier"
starring Arthur Franz, Kathleen Crowley and Robert Brown.
This movie was made in 1958 and in it the world was saved by "solar batteries."
Well that put the hook in me.
A few years later, while visiting one of my uncles, he showed me a solar powered
radio made in Japan. It intrigued me how you could move your hand around the top
of it and make the volume go up and down.
The hook was set.
The next thing you know I was in the local hobby shop counting out my lawn money
to buy a "Solar Experimenter's Kit."
I bought my first "real" solar panels in 1978 - four Solec modules for around
$375.00 each, you can see them on 47 Our own alternative energy systems
in a rack, and still producing power at our location.
I finally found a copy of "The Flame Barrier" as well as a Hoffman solar powered
radio, that still works, like my Uncle Ben had.
I look in wonder at the modules we use, that those big flat panels could make
electricity just sitting in the sun - a great idea.
