Every morning, the Earth’s rotation brings up the Sun over the horizon. You will and should find this normal even if you have never watched a sunrise. But take the time today to look at the Sun and realize what you are looking at. You are looking at a star. Sunlight is the radiation of the plasma of its photosphere, which is heated by fusion in the sun’s core. The Sun is a stable and reliable fusion reactor.
As an amazing campaign is coming to an end, our founder and CEO Arnold Leitner has a heartfelt Thank You message for all of you who believe in our vision and have trusted us with your investment.
YouSolar raised $1,080,000 on StartEngine in 2020. This time, just three weeks after passing the million-dollar mark, we have now raised over $1,230,000 – and counting. We have already surpassed the amount of our blockbuster 2020 raise! And there are still a few days to go. How much time is left in the campaign? Less than 3 short days. Our campaign closes on March 15, 2023. Don’t miss it. Don’t cut it close – what if your area has a power outage when you try to do your last-minute investment :-)
Over the past months we have established the PowerBloc as the premier independent power solution in the high-end residential market. We power amazing homes with clean and reliable energy from the sun. While we expect luxury homes to be a lucrative and growing market for many years, we see even bigger potential in the small commercial space. This is because the PowerBloc not only has the energy and power for businesses. YouSolar also offers analytics, performance, and maintenance services that make owning a PowerBloc worry-free.
Our successful StartEngine campaign is closing on 15 March 2023. So, there is only one short week left to invest in YouSolar. There is no better moment than now to recap YouSolar’s biggest accomplishments since we kicked off our campaign a year ago.
YouSolar has sold a $264,000 PowerBloc to the owner of one of the most iconic houses on California’s Big Sur coast. When we met with the customer at his home to seal the deal, three magnificent California condors circled in the clouds above the property. Why would a homeowner consider spending more than a quarter million dollars on an energy resilience solution? Sure, who wants a multi-million dollar home with warm soda in the fridge? But the primary reason for purchasing this PowerBloc was fire protection.
The dawn of the age of electrification in the late 19th century saw a standoff between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse. Edison promoted Direct Current (DC). Westinghouse swore by Alternating Current (AC). As the two electricity magnates disparaged each other’s technology as inferior and unsafe, the confrontation escalated into the War of the Currents. Westinghouse emerged victorious, and the world’s power grids were built on Alternating Current. But the paradigm of electricity generation, distribution and consumption is changing rapidly.
Ice storms in Texas and blizzards in the Northeastern United States have been regular occurrences that bring down power lines and cause outages. The most recent winter freeze in the southern United States left thousands in Texas without power. In California, electric utilities have been challenged to keep the power on during summer and fall due to wildfires and heat waves.
“Invested in Climate” is a popular investor podcast about the race to protect our planet. Every week, host Jason Rissman interviews thought leaders, entrepreneurs and investors focused on effective and meaningful ways to accelerate the climate transition. The decarbonization of our world creates unprecedented opportunities: millions of new jobs, trillions of dollars in investments and countless new ways for individuals to be involved. The podcast strives to enable people to find their role in this historic transformation.
YouSolar webinar, “The Electrification of Everything and the Transition to Decentralized Power,” last Thursday drew a crowd of over 200 registrants. We received dozens of questions from a very engaged audience, some of which we could answer during the webinar’s Q&A. If you missed the webinar, no worries. You can watch a recording of the webinar on our YouTube Channel.
