ITEM 8.01 – OTHER ITEMS
We are currently focusing our operations in the energy industry. We provide renewables integration into energy production, energy delivery and energy consumption. We are developing a small appliance anticipated to be one third of the cost of conventional solar/battery systems of similar performance. The system will consist of an active energy material capable of storing and creating energy simultaneously at the molecular level, dramatically reducing electronics and assembly/installation labor.
We provide systems that focus on:
·
Cost-effectively equipping utilities with a cost-effective alternative to gas-fired turbines capable of ensuring power quality and quantity while simultaneously deferring capital investment in both generation and distribution assets.
·
Supporting commercial business with the ability to reduce monthly electricity bills while eliminating rolling blackouts, brownouts and utility failures that negatively impact the ability to generate revenue.
·
Empowering the Homeowner with the ability to eliminate the monthly electricity bill via an appliance thereby redefining the way energy is generated managed and seamlessly consumed or sold, going forward.
·
Meeting the needs at the bottom of the pyramid with next-generation energy and economic development systems capable of helping eradicate poverty and educating the masses.
Our market opportunities will be in the following areas:
·
Military – cost-effective, energy security - fixed or rapid deployment
·
Industrial – increased revenue dollars per acre on new and existing solar parks with lowest-cost above or below ground energy storage.
·
Commercial – the vertical appliance integration maximizes solar exposure and return on investment on cluttered rooftops
·
Residential
i.
Dramatically enhances the aesthetic appeal of conventional solar thereby generating greater home owner association acceptance.
