To our first customers, we have made a commitment: “You bought the first version of our system, but you will get the best system we sell.” Why? No matter how carefully we designed the first PowerBloc, some things could have been done better, shortcomings were discovered, and improvements had to wait because we needed to get to market.
In a recent New York Times article about the crypto collapse, Harvard finance professor Mihir Desai bashes the techno-utopianism and exclusive emphasis on positive outcomes that has infected American capitalism. The result of what Desai calls “Magical Thinking” has led to the latest “tech” bubble that began to deflate in 2022. At YouSolar, we are not utopians, but we are techno-optimists.
We kicked off 2023 with a $100K+ PowerBloc sale, and several more are in the pipeline. The year is off to a great start and promises to be a big one. At this point it is time to say “Goodbye” from raising capital on StartEngine.
There has been excitement about using batteries in electric vehicles for energy storage for homes for years, but the industry has been slow to offer viable solutions for consumers. Once again, the PowerBloc is changing the game. YouSolar just sold its first vehicle-to-home integration with a PowerBloc.
California has been devastated by wildfires in the past years. At this time, an “atmospheric river,” a flowing column of vapour in the atmosphere, is delivering huge amounts of rain and snow to California. The result has been widespread flooding and landslides.
We proudly announce that YouSolar has closed the sale of another PowerBloc in Big Sur, CA, for $130,000. The owner of the home walks the talk of sustainability. The home is off-grid. It sits on a hundred acres of wild canyons and grasslands. The home has 2,500 square feet and was built to the highest energy efficiency standards. The PowerBloc will not only power the home but also charge electric vehicles, electric all-terrain vehicles, and e-bikes.
The New Year has started, and YouSolar is back from the holidays selling the PowerBloc® solar-battery nanogrid. We are supercharged for 2023. Our customers love the new and improved PowerBloc we will deliver this year. It has more cost-effective storage, is more powerful, and is more efficient.
For thousands of years, ever since we plowed the valleys of the Nile or Ganges, man has reshaped Earth. Even though man’s success was overwhelming, it was still won in one individual’s battle at a time on the frontier, protecting the herd from wild predators or fields from the river with a dam. The world seemed enormous, and building our civilization was a struggle. But in the last century, man’s triumph over nature has been absolute.
The holidays are here. A time when the world collectively slows down. When people drive around with a wreath tied to the front of their car. It is the time for candles and eggnog.
The New York Times published an article this week explaining why California did not see the large wildfires it had experienced in past years, Why California’s 2022 Wildfire Season Was Unexpectedly Quiet. Wildfires have burned “only” about 362,000 acres in 2022, compared to 2.5 million acres last year and a historic 4.3 million acres in 2020.
