INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC EDUCATING THE SUPPLY CHAIN Let's use our Integration Coefficient IC with one of its strongest points that gives us a profound differential advantage in the supply chain : education for maximum customer satisfaction . On Grid or Grid-tied solar systems are intended to operate parallel with an electric utility company. What does solar energy connected to the grid, On-grid, or Auto consumption mean? Simply put, the electricity from the solar energy system is connected to the existing service panel of the building, home, or business, supplementing the power supplied by your utility company. While grid-tied solar systems use advanced technology, the principle behind how they work is simple. During the day, solar panels convert solar energy into DC (direct current) power, which then flows to a grid-connected inverter or micro-inverter where this DC energy is converted into AC (alternating current) used by the connected load on the site. From there, electricity flows to a circuit breaker in your site's electrical service panel (please check the diagram for a typical On-grid Grid system shown in this post) from where it flows to the load just as it does from your utility company. If the site needs more electricity than the currently generated by the On-grid-solar system, additional electricity is drawn from the grid or "utility". On the other hand, the excess electricity generated returns to the grid and turns the electric meter "backward", of course, only if the electric utility company allows what we will later explain as Net-Metering agreements. Using technical words: Grid-tied inverters take DC power and invert it into AC power that can be “returned” to the electric utility company's grid. The On-grid inverter must synchronize its frequency with that of the grid (50 or 60 cycles per second) using a local oscillator and limit the voltage to no more than the grid voltage. A modern high-quality grid-tied inverter has a fixed unity power factor input, which means that output voltage and current are perfectly aligned and its phase angle is within 1 degree of the AC grid. The inverter has a control system that will detect the current AC grid waveform and generate a voltage matching the grid. On-grid inverters are also designed to quickly disconnect from the grid if it is cut off or presents values outside the normal working operation range. This is an NEC (in the USA) or an IEC (in Eurasia) requirement that ensures that, in the cases mentioned, the On-grid inverter will be turned off to prevent the energy it transfers from harming line workers who are sent to repair the power grid or to protect itself due to the appearance of dangerous voltages at its output. Useful information about our On-grid solar kit solutions for American and Eurasian markets is available on our website. Please subscribe .

BE AWARE OF REAL AND FAKE OFFERS All-in-One Solar LED street lamps are becoming increasingly popular. Many places worldwide are adapting to the newness and greenness related to this type of light. Many experts and environmentalists agree that solar LED streetlights should replace current and conventional street lighting. According to a Zion Market Research report in 2021, the global LED All-in-One Solar Lamp market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.4% between 2021 and 2028. Another report from Research And Markets says that the market share for LED lamps reached $570.4 million in 2020 and is expected to reach $1,090.6 million by 2025, with a CAGR of 13.8% between 2020 and 2025. But you need to be aware of discerning between REAL and FAKE offers. Batteries: LiFePO4 batteries have significantly more capacity and voltage retention in cold weather environments versus Li-ion and Lead-Acid batteries. So, LiFePO4 is now the new tendency. According to a Persistence Market Research report released in 2021, the global LiFePO4 battery market for the LED All-In-One Solar Lighting industry is expected to grow at 12.4% CAGR from 2021 to 2031. Charging Control: Battery Smart Management or Battery Program Updated, will guarantee the best charging control to extend the LiFePO4 battery life. LED Chip Efficacy: Most of the supplier's offers come with a 1W:100L ratio (30W:3000L or so). The real meaning of this fact is that common LED Chip Efficacy is no more than 120~130L/W (decaying to ~100L/W with optical and DC conversion losses). The current tendency is to use chips with 175~220L/W efficacy with results in ratios like 30W:6000L or 15W:3000L, then obtaining the same lumen with less DC power which means more efficiency. Solar Panel and Battery capacities: Current market fake offers do not fulfill specifications usually described as more than 5 nights of backup. So the main customer's claims are related to very short lighting time or lack of backup. The reason is simple, most of them are designed with very low Solar Panel and Battery capacity and lean on extreme dimming control to provide some lighting. Let’s use one of our All in One Real Specs Solar LED street lights as an example for this explanation: 30W:6000L ratio, 80W solar panel, and 512Wh LiFePO4 battery. You can obtain in a sunny place with 6 hours of average sunlight that the battery can be fully charged in just one day and the lamp can deliver 1.5 nights of full 6000L lighting with one-day charging time. If you are dimming using our control system to 50% to get 3000L as the standard solar LED lamp market offers, you will provide this amount of lighting with half of DC power, then you obtain more than 3 nights of REAL backup. If you can do double dimming per night according to People Transit you can double the lighting backup time with one-day battery charging. And this is our meaning of REAL. Our Integration Coefficient IC business model is designed to provide customers with a RIGHT and REAL All-in-One Solar LED lamp solution with the most updated technology and maximum customer satisfaction .

FASTER HORSES? A need is something necessary to be able to live and function. A want is a concept that may improve your quality of life while needs include everything else. However, these terms are more fluid than they appear at first glance. Let's go to the case of environmental sustainability. Do you need it or do you want it? Hard, right? Sustainability is necessary to live and function, so it is a need. But it also improves the quality of your life, so we want it. Henry Ford said: " If we had asked people what they wanted, they would have said: Faster Horses ". Then the topic of defining needs and wants turns into a never-ending tirade. People wanted and needed to move faster from one place to another. So a faster horse satisfied their needs and desires because the idea of a motor vehicle did not exist in their minds. But vehicles emit CO2 causing current pollution. People still need to move faster, but it seems not to be on their minds that they need, even more, to prevent the global meltdown caused by a world unable to sustain itself environmentally. That makes a significant difference when promoting Renewable Solar Energy to consumers. Since ancient times, business culture has taught us that the client is always right. Although that is true, what is needed now is to change the current commercial attitude of imposing products, avoiding sales based on clients needing us because they are not experts which is a wrong paradigm. Although the clients know what they want, not necessarily what they need, what must be sought is how to please the clients and make them feel like an important factor in a process that goes beyond their needs or desires to a personal level. In our organization, we do it through our Marketing and Manufacturing process Integration Coefficient IC , which has been powerful in ensuring that solutions to problems that affect sustainable development are not limited solely to policies, strategies, products, and standards established in companies but integrating customers and their direct suppliers by achieving feelings of high satisfaction with the use of our innovative solutions and then inherently promoting Sustainability. Don't you agree? We welcome your feedback. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us for more information.

Many years ago during the British rule in India, the government was very concerned about the number of poisonous cobras that existed. So they agreed that the solution to the problem was for the inhabitants to kill them, but how could they achieve that? They made the decision that seemed simpler and more imminent. A "reasonable" amount of money would be paid for each cobra the inhabitants brought before the authorities, and "voila", the matter resolved. The people of India began to earn an income by hunting cobras and the problem for the British government lessened and everyone was happy, for a while. Sadly the story did not end there. There was a spontaneous effect on the market, a new product was created to commercialize, "Cobras": Instead of killing them, it was better to hunt them, breed them, reproduce them in series, and then sell them in a new "artificial" segment of the market that had been created: The British government. Now the new client was buying Cobras that were not a danger to the community and this was benefiting from an unnatural business, forced by a government decree (imminent solution ) that tried to solve a problem without having studied the real needs of the population . Then, they made another arbitrary decision: Stop paying the reward. The market reacted “naturally”, there was an overstock of cobras without any demand. In our times, when the demand is negligible and the supply is brutal, companies "give away" or throw away the product, often with polluting effects. This case was the same, the breeders decided to release the cobras and now the number of cobras increased even more than at the beginning. This phenomenon is known as " The Cobra Effect ”. This occurs when products or solutions from companies do not match the real needs of the consumers and when the manufacturing and marketing team is not integrated to find how their services could generate feelings of emotion, satisfaction, and positive references from the consumers . Just as we do in our organization through our innovative Integration Coefficient IC . Please get in touch with us for more information.

USING INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC MODEL There are some advantages to using Asian EPC to build solar farms globally, but ultimately there are several factors and context-specific issues to consider. One of the Asian EPC advantages is their extensive experience in building solar plants internationally as they can provide cost-effective solutions due to their economies of scale. Their access to advanced technology and equipment is undeniable, enabling faster and more efficient projects. However, there are also potential drawbacks. Some language and cultural barriers may affect communication and coordination with local stakeholders, including government agencies, suppliers and sub-contractors. . Also, regulatory and compliance issues may arise that need to be carefully addressed, including local laws and regulations, labor practices, and environmental requirements. To overcome these drawbacks, several large Asian solar companies have established subsidiaries or joint ventures in other regions, working with local EPCs. In some cases, these subsidiaries may even acquire or merge with local EPCs to gain a foothold in the market and expand their capabilities. But there is a better approach. Working with an international integrator through the Integration Coefficient IC model, who has experience in contexts in Asia and other regions, can provide a valuable resource that can bridge those gaps and ensure effective communication and coordination between all parties involved in the project. In addition, the Integration Coefficient IC model can help navigate regulatory and compliance issues by providing expertise in local laws and regulations, labor practices, and environmental requirements. This can help ensure the project complies with all relevant standards and minimize potential legal and financial risks. Also, the Integration Coefficient IC model can help address the logistical challenges associated with purchasing materials and equipment from multiple vendors with different warranty terms and shipping requirements. The integrator can work with Asian EPCs to ensure that all materials and equipment are sourced and shipped efficiently and effectively, with clear documentation, unified guarantee , and quality control processes in place. It is worth noting that the choice between using a local EPC or an Asian EPC depends only on the cost that although it is a significant factor in any business decision, it is not the only one. Other factors, such as quality, experience and project management using the Integration Coefficient IC , can also influence the decision to choose an Asian EPC instead of a local one, obtaining double the advantages with the best cost/benefit ratio.

EPC ALERT: SOLAR FARMS STUDIES TENDENCY With reference to energy generation, the global society has to urgently address three factors that are now critical: - Sustainability in terms of climate change . - Security in terms of the war that is currently raging in many places with consequences that are being felt around the globe and the steep incline of fossil-fuel based energy costs. - Around the world, large-scale solar farms are being constructed with tracking systems to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) modules. The literature is showing often articles presenting a comparison of energy generation of Tracking vs fixed solar rack mounting for PV modules. Many of these analysis has been based on long term (up to 20 years) dataset comparing different locations worldwide where much of them differ in terms of latitude, sky clarity and ambient temperature. Despite all the variables mentioned above It was demonstrated that a fixed-slope system facing the equator provides a healthy energy receipt that is a high fraction of the energy receipt of a tracking system meanwhile the cost difference using both methods is very significant favoring fixed installations and making tracking systems harder to justify . Furthermore, analysis was also carried out for PV facilities that have hosted larger solar farms to conclude that regardless of the solar farm installation location, the use of bi-facial PV provides more benefits than using tracking systems and with less failure rate . In our organization and using our manufacturing and marketing method named Integration Coefficient IC , we are in tune of all these tendencies to provide the most updated and economically better justified technologies as the proper solutions for customers.

A PRACTICAL SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPT The origin of the concept of sustainability dates back to the first global strategy for sustainable development (World Conservation Strategy) and the report "Our Common Future" of the World Commission on Environment and Development (CMMAD). It was defined as " development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same with their own needs ." The dalliances with sustainability development the world has had, have been rather platonic, a captivating idea whose practice it has been indifferent to. Proclaiming sustainability in the abstract is an easy virtue: Invocation to bequeath to our descendants an undiminished world expresses a resonant moral imperative about survival and the instincts of empathy, deeply embedded in the human mind. Yet when such good intentions land in the contentious sphere of public policy, the clamor of short-term self-interest often silences calls for foresight and responsible action. Sustainability is suspended between saying and doing wherever serious crises arise. That is why our organization is committed to a concept of sustainability that we consider much more practical. And for us and as our New Year 2023 Sustainability message , sustainability consists of all our activities being focused on the Integration Coefficient IC . If all our commercial, marketing, and manufacturing practices are oriented towards customer satisfaction and the improvement of the supply chain , and this is done tirelessly over time, since the Awakening of Awareness (which is also part of the integration process), until a future time, defined simply as Long Term Compromise , we firmly believe that in this way we will avoid falling into that platonic sustainability concept that we have mentioned. Please do not hesitate to Contact Us for more information.

To find a good answer about how we contribute to sustainability we often find ourselves doubting about how, with our behavior, we can positively influence sustainable development. For this, it is necessary to understand that problems affecting sustainability goals are not restricted only to people. Companies, in one way or another, should contribute their bit. In our organization, we help through the Marketing and Manufacturing format based on the new concept of Integration Coefficient IC . This format is so powerful that with this process we have achieved that the solutions to the problems that affect sustainable development are not limited solely to the policies, strategies, and standards designed and established in the companies. By integrating users and their direct suppliers within it and achieving feelings of high satisfaction in them with the use of our innovative solutions that are also shared and promoted both by word of mouth and on social networks, the natural creation of a VIP Sustainability Club , a club where joy, savings, intercommunication is the way of living and expressing oneself, causing an unstoppable snowball effect that is not forced, it is rather comfortable, where everyone contributes with great enthusiasm. Our friend in the photo is in his 80s and his dance moves emulate the energy of the 20s and are similar, in magnitude and strength, to the satisfaction our clients exhibit after receiving and promoting the benefits of the Integration Coefficient IC . We invite you to our website to delve more into this concept. You won't regret it. Please feel free to Contact Us for more informatio n.

A NEW TENDENCY: COMMUNITY SOLAR "Community Solar" has become a popular form of electricity consumption due to its accessibility. Unlike traditional solar panel installations that must be located on an open property or rooftop space, community solar is designed for large-scale use among multiple tenants. Traditionally, solar energy installation favored real estate owners and investors, leaving renters and low-income households without access to the benefits of solar. However, "Community Solar" is reshaping the landscape, by offering more customers the opportunity to adopt and benefit from solar energy. The rise of shared solar self-consumption or hybrid through this new tendency: "Community Solar", is a model that allows multiple people, businesses, or organizations to harness solar energy without needing individual panel installations . It is typically offered through subscription-based programs, expanding access to a broader range of customers, including renters or those without adequate shelter. Beyond the environmental benefits received, participants generally obtain savings in energy costs, which currently are around 10% in the USA. 22 states in the USA have passed laws on independent community solar projects . Despite the challenges that states like Massachusetts and Maine faced in 2022, recent favorable policies in Maryland, New Jersey, and California have spurred growth. Projections in the USA indicate an average annual increase of 8% with an estimated capacity of 14 gigawatts by 2028 and "Community Solar" is forecast to power 5 million homes by 2025, making clean, affordable electricity more accessible for all. In 2024, in Spain and Italy, " energy communities " , " solar communities " and collective self-consumption will begin to take off. This after the utilities had created many obstacles, greatly delaying network connections and other problems. The reason? Their large electrification plants were doing the work and were installing many energy communities, solar communities, and collective self-consumption. And things were going well there. Now a change has been imposed because the sector associations have put a lot of pressure on the utilities making them provide connections when needed, and facilitating the new installations. In addition, interesting financing and innovative methods are being obtained to carry out these installations for the residents of those communities (ie. solar kits ). This is where our Integration Coefficient IC model comes from through our solar marketing system based on the concept of a shared economy that allows solar installers, who are the step of the supply chain closest to the end customer, to have direct access to Asian manufacturing prices and therefore with price reductions of up to 60% compared to the current supply chain. The positive policy developments supporting the installation of more "Community Solar" parks and a more efficient supply chain by adopting our Integration Coefficient IC model, make this installation tendency a safe bet for solar deployment.

BUYING EMOTIONS, LINKS, SHARING AND ALLIES As in the famous song by Carole King: You Have Got a Friend , we are willing to emulate its lyrics by studying the determinants that stimulate consumer buying behavior in the marketplace , as we know that above all else, customers are looking for a friend to trust. Certainly, the competition usually seeks, with its marketing models, that almost all buyers justify their purchase based on the advantages or usefulness of the product, as well as its price and convenience, among other "tangible" reasons . But in reality what customers want or may need is to buy an emotion, a link, something to share with others; not facts and reasons . What is more, clients buy friends and allies and with our work through our marketing and manufacturing process based on the Integration Coefficient IC , what is achieved is to become a reference for them making them feel privileged to belong to the, even now, exclusive club of those who support sustainability . "Winter, spring, summer or fall All you have to do is call And we'll be there You have got a friend" Please search for the Contact Us link on our website for more information.

GROW COMMUNITY, WASHINGTON SEATTLE This is an inspirational example of how homebuilders incorporate solar to generate Possibility, Connection, and Happiness . Grow Community Washington Seattle is a neighborhood on Bainbridge Island, Washington in the US. With beautifully designed solar-powered homes, shared community gardens, and clean transportation options, "Grow" allows all generations to enjoy a high-quality and healthy lifestyle. Possibility: The neighborhood was designed with sustainability and healthy living as its guiding ideals, showing the way toward a positive future for the community and the planet. Connection: The idea of this place was to make people live in a truly inter-generational community where connections are valued and relationships nourished, where taking advantage of the sun using solar systems, shared gardens, and inviting green spaces unite neighbor with neighbor, uniting them with the environment. Happiness: To change life values by experiencing a new way to live, simpler and more satisfying, mindful of your impact on the earth as you focus your time on those things in your life that matter most to you. The Solar Kits based on our Integration Coefficient IC model are oriented to promote the increment of this kind of community around the world making builders promote solar in a natural, affordable, and profitable way. Also, many other advantages arise: Increase Homes Sale Price and Profit: Adding Solar to homes may result in higher home-sales prices, and more using our Solar Energy Kits . Sell Homes Faster and Easier: Solar homes sell up to 20% faster than their conventional counterparts. Meet a Growing Demand: Customers increasingly recognize that solar offers monthly energy savings, is good for the environment, and is a wise investment decision. Attract More Customers: Customers believe in savings when go Solar . Energy efficiency and low operating costs are the two top of the first five influences in a new-home purchase decision. Furthermore, lashing panels to roofs during construction is usually about 20% cheaper than after a house is built. And even up to 60% cheaper using our Solar Kits . So, although house prices may increase when solar-powered, the increment is much lower using our solutions in a more efficient supply chain, causing a low impact on the buyer's mortgage payments. That’s similar to how some buyers decided to pay $5,000 or $10,000 for a kitchen countertop manufactured with natural materials and would outlast a Formica-style top. Homeowners embed it into their home mortgage and when they receive the utility electricity bills they’re cash-flow positive from month one. For more information please do not hesitate to Contact Us .
