There has been excitement about using batteries in electric vehicles for energy storage for the grid or homes for years, referred to as vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home integration. Let us focus on vehicle-to-home.
Remember the “Tech_Bears”, six students of Guadalupe Elementary School in San Jose, CA, who came to visit YouSolar in Santa Clara, CA at the end of September? The Tech_Bears are participating in the Superpowered Season of the First® Lego® League to “Explore where energy comes from and how it is distributed, stored, and used to work to innovate for a better energy future.”
We are excited to announce that we have launched a new website at www.YouSolar.com. Why does it matter? Because our new website will fuel our growth. We have simplified the design and sales process to sell PowerBloc nanogrids faster to more customers. Our new website will help us as we transition to becoming a growth company. Sure, we are still a start-up, but less “start” and much more “up.”
The 27th climate summit began this week in Sharm el-Sheikh on the Red Sea. United Nations secretary general Antonio Guterres, a trained electrical engineer and physicist, opened the meeting by saying: “We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator.”
One of the reasons for the success of platforms like StartEngine is the rise of impact investing, which StartEngine discusses in a great blog post “Investing in a Better World.” More and more people want to make a positive difference in the world with their investments. In fact, we must.
This is wild! YouSolar hit the funding milestone of $800,000 on StartEngine today. We raised $100k in three weeks, putting us into the platform's “Most Momentum” category. Thank you!
“Less than a decade ago, the world that lay ahead seemed even more disastrous than the one we’ve just taken a tour of; truly apocalyptic scenarios for all of humanity seemed plausible. Today we are faced with something different: climate upheaval big enough to terrify and intimidate and yet open-ended enough to be wrangled and even managed by politics and human design, as well.”
“Persistent, traumatic grief can cause us to cycle (sometimes quickly) through the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance." These stages are humans’ attempts to process change and protect ourselves while we adapt to a new reality,” writes the University of Washington on its help page, The Stages of Grief: Accepting the Unacceptable.
We are excited to welcome Rupert Mayer to YouSolar's leadership team as our Head of Corporate Strategy. After an accomplished tenure as a software entrepreneur and leading his last venture into the Inc. list of the 1,000 fastest-growing private U.S. companies, Rupert decided to devote the second half of his career to have a deeper impact on humanity’s trajectory. Specifically, he recognized climate change as ...
Climate change is the biggest challenge of our generation. Combating it is also the economic opportunity of our lifetime. In the coming decades, we will have to reinvent almost everything that enables our comfortable modern lives – from heating to food production to transportation to industrialized processes like cement and steelmaking. This will not only create a cleaner, healthier, more sustainable world. It will also generate tremendous profits for those who embrace this enormous transition now and create the solutions for the all-renewable energy future.
