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.”
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!
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 ...
The “Farmers Investment Club” are a legendary angel group of twenty prominent professors, administrators, alumni and affiliates of Stanford University. The Club’s name is a reference to the university’s nickname, “the farm”, which goes back to its founding on the land of Leland and Jane Stanford’s Palo Alto stock farm.
A few days ago, CNN reported that Babcock Ranch, a 100% solar community in Florida, endured Hurricane Ian with no loss of power and minimal damage. A microgrid powers the planned development of 2,000 homes with energy coming from a central solar solar array. Everything about the ability of Babcock Ranch to ride out the storm is a reason to celebrate.
Excitement was high when the "Tech_Bears," six students of Guadalupe Elementary School in San Jose, CA, came to visit YouSolar in Santa Clara, CA. The Tech_Bears are participating in Superpowered 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.”
This conversation between Ross and Arnold explores Arnold’s personal and professional path that led to the founding of YouSolar, the ideas behind the company's PowerBloc® solar-nano grid, and technical, environmental, and social issues that drive or slow a transition to a clean energy world.
YouSolar signed a $180,000 contract to build a PowerBloc® Solar Nano-Grid for a high-end off-grid home in Big Sur, California. This new stunning home is built by one of Northern California's premier builders and sits high on a ridge overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The PowerBloc will power the home and support electric vehicle charging. ...
YouSolar was founded on the vision to build the world’s most advance solar nano-grids. A company called eIQ Energy seemed to have key technology to help realize this vision. It had developed a revolutionary DC-DC micro-converter that steps each panel's electric potential (voltage) to 380 V DC, an emerging electrical standard now used in server farms and electric vehicles. Gene Krzywinski was its inventor. ...
