Wehl said, “It will be the first time

that we are rolling out a system of

this type.

“It’s a new

lithium ion hybrid

unit, very similar

to what you

may have seen

from

Tesla’s

press release

last week. The

solar panels run

into this battery

and its charging

system

and

moving forward

we will be further

integrating that

with controls, so

depending on

how the solar

is working during the day, we will

ensure that appliances are only run

off the sun rather than drawing power

from the grid.

“We have electricity prices that are

pretty much the highest in the world,

they are actually double what they are

in the U.S. We think that this is one of

the primary emerging markets for this

technology and it has got a huge future

here.”

By pushing the cause of green energy,

Ecoelectric has played a part in making

a significant contribution towards

reducing emissions. In the process

it has built up

a

profitable

business which

enables

its

c u s t o m e r s

to

contribute

t o w a r d s

reducing

the

impact of global

warming while

saving on their

electricity bills

at the same

time.

Jeff

Wehl

gets a sense

of satisfaction

from the role

that his company plays in promoting

green energy, “I wouldn’t say that

there is a lot of money in the solar

industry, but it is reasonably profitable

and that combines with the feeling of

doing something positive for the world

and helping everyday people and

businesses. I get to go home at night

and think that businesses can save

operating costs in terms of electricity

and that allows me to feel good about

my job. That aspect and the quality of

the work we do is very important to

us.”
