  • VOLTAGE PROTECTORS SELECTION GUIDE

    INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC HELPS YOU TO BE AWARE OF THE BEST AND MAIN FEATURES Voltage protectors are devices designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment, such as refrigeration appliances, from voltage variations that may cause extreme damage. Here is a summary of all the protections and features that the best protector devices should offer as a Voltage Protectors Selection Guide : High-energy surge suppressors : These devices protect against spikes, first by absorbing a significant portion of the energy contained in this over-voltage and, second, by diverting to ground the excess energy that exceeds a safe threshold. Please be sure to look for the most technologically up-to-date ones, which use both, normal mode (Phase-Neutral) and common mode (Phase-Ground, Neutral-Ground) protections being the varistor the most commonly used and trustworthy high-energy surge absorber. Protection against High and Low Voltages: The best protectors also disconnect the critical load protected against voltage increases and decreases according to the safe working regions described by the CBEMA curve which is a graphic representation that shows the voltage variations that electronic and refrigeration equipment can tolerate without failing. Shoemaker to his shoes: It is important to note that the protector to be chosen must be specially designed for the load to be protected. Refrigeration equipment accepts rapid voltage variations and even in a greater voltage range due to the inertial effect of its compression motor since it must be avoided that they could be turned off by faster variations that do not affect them. At the same time, electronic loads need protectors with a faster response time and a reduced range of voltage variations. In short, don't believe all-purpose surge protector offers . Micro-controller and SMD-based circuit boards are mandatory. LED Status Indicators: The best voltage and surge protectors for appliances have LED indicators for voltage status and whether or not the connected load is being protected or is in re-connection waiting time mode. Look for ones that offer ALL the visual information you need regarding their operation modes. Delay Time: After disconnecting the load due to an extreme voltage variation, the best surge protectors offer a re-connection delay circuit before reconnecting the load, allowing the voltage to stabilize. Again, stick to your guns. A standby time is not the same for protecting refrigeration loads as it is for protecting electronic loads. Warranties: The warranty offered by your supplier must include the exchange of your unit for a new one for at least one year. However, please note that the warranty is voided if a protector is damaged by the explosion of a varistor by peaks exceeding the typical limits ( 150 to 180 Joules per mode for the best providers ). On-Off Master Switch: Essential to handle electrical connections with maximum safety. Space saving: Look for protectors that, when connected to the electrical outlet, leave exposed any other outlet that the “outlet box” might offer. Let’s Build a Better Future Together .

  • THE BUSINESS HARAKIRI

    THE PRICE OF THE EASY ROAD Warren Buffett, one of the most brilliant financial minds of our time, has said, using more or less words: “The most important business decision when evaluating our company is our pricing power or the power that customers can understand, with our communication, the value added to the supply chain. So if we lack that power and it takes a session of prayer and spiritualism before we achieve that, then we have a terrible, failed business”. Most of the time we talk about pricing strategy but rarely about how we can offer more value to our customers to improve their and our benefits. What many don't understand is that communication has a direct impact on the success of a business. The right price is not based solely on production costs, but on the value your solution or service brings to your customers. Value is often a matter of perception, and this is where effective communication comes into play. Business "Harakiri": Business today is like the Japanese tradition of "Harakiri", where ritual suicide is committed. Price competition often leads companies down a similar path, unraveling their value and success. This seemingly easy but disastrous choice may seem effective in the short term but with devastating consequences. The Deadly Cycle: When a business competes only on price, it becomes selfish and simplistic. It stops innovating and completely forgets about customer satisfaction . Quality and value are sacrificed on the altar of cost savings. As prices fall, margins narrow, and the company is trapped in a deadly cycle of cost-cutting and loss of quality and market. Communication and Value: This is where the Integration Coefficient IC comes into play. This approach is not just about products, but offering solutions and, most importantly, communicating genuine value . When you embrace the IC, you change the game. You fully understand customers' needs and are committed to satisfying them. You stop competing only on price and start competing on value, even changing or improving the efficiency of the supply chain . These actions change the client's perception and make them the natural spokespersons for your proposal. You stop being a mere supplier and become a strategic partner guiding them to success. This creates a competitive advantage beyond numbers and keeps you away from corporate "Harakiri". The Integration Coefficient IC is the response to the trend of price competition. Join the IC revolution to communicate your commitment to comprehensive solutions by promoting sustainability and customer satisfaction. By contacting us you can delve a little deeper into how.

  • THE PERFECT CONFLUENCE

    NORTHERN LIGHTS, INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC, AND SOLAR ENERGY AT THE POLES At the ends of the planet, nature gives us unique spectacles. The northern lights, those celestial spectacles that light up the night sky with their magnificent and colorful shapes, are an impressive manifestation of the power of our planet's magnetic field. This phenomenon occurs when the solar wind interacts with the magnetosphere, creating flashes of light that vary in color depending on the atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. Green, for example, is due to the excitation of oxygen, while nitrogen produces bluish and, sometimes, purple and reddish tones. Although the Northern Lights are more famous in the northern hemisphere, there are also southern lights in the south. The smaller number of human settlements at the South Pole makes the former better known and easier to observe. However, this phenomenon occurs equally at both poles due to the weakness of the Earth's magnetic field in these regions. During intense solar activity, Northern Lights can be visible at lower latitudes. In parallel to this natural phenomenon, polar regions are seeing a surge in the development of solar farm projects. One prominent example is the new solar farm in Houston, Alaska, which is set to be the largest in the state. This solar park, located on land affected by the Miller's Reach fire in 1996, will provide enough energy to power about 1,400 homes. The electricity generated by the solar farm will be purchased by the utility company, Matanuska Electric Association, at a lower cost than Cook Inlet Gas (the current electricity supplier from non-renewable energy sources ), resulting in significant savings for the utility and its customers. The Northern Lights come from The Perfect Confluence or a combination of climatic, electrical, and magnetic factors. Similarly, the Integration Coefficient IC seeks to optimize supply channel efficiency through a perfect combination of features: savings of up to 60% on prices for end consumers, a unified guarantee , and customer satisfaction that turns customers into automatic spokespersons for the IC business model by using innovative digital information ecosystems and easy access to world-renowned international factories. Just as the Northern Lights amaze us with their beauty and complexity, the Integration Coefficient IC promises to transform efficiency and satisfaction in the business world. And just as polar regions are increasingly used for solar farms, the IC is set to become a standard of excellence in supply channel management. The perfect confluence of technology, innovation, and nature leads us towards a more sustainable future. Are you ready to be part of this energy and supply chain revolution?

  • WHEN THE STARS ALIGN

    INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC: A COSMIC BUSINESS EXPERIENCE On some days of the year, the constellations appear brighter and larger. This is because when the stars align , they become more visible. This is known as the stars' alignment effect and can be observed at night when the sky is clear. When this phenomenon occurs it is a unique opportunity to enjoy that view and to think deeply about the meaning of the stars in culture. On the other hand, the alignment of the stars is a way to observe the night skies. It consists of identifying stars and other celestial bodies to find patterns in the sky. These alignments are configurations called constellations and have been used by astronomers for thousands of years for navigation, weather prediction, and storytelling. It is also used to orient yourself in space. These configurations are useful to astronomers studying galaxy evolution because they can see patterns in how the stars move. They are also used to determine the position of celestial objects in space. But the alignment of stars is also a celestial phenomenon that transcends the physical and transports us to a realm of wonders. In the middle of the silent night, the sky becomes a canvas dotted with bright stars, immersing us in a cosmic fairy tale. During these magical moments, we feel a surge of energy and power that drives us to dream and aspire to the impossible.

  • BALANCING OUR ECOLOGICAL IMPACT

    HARNESSING SUSTAINABILITY WITH THE INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC The ecological footprint is a way of measuring humanity's impact on the planet. It is the ecologically productive surface area needed to produce the resources consumed by an individual and the area necessary to absorb the waste it generates. The ecological footprint calculations use all lifestyle factors, whether or not they emit greenhouse gases (CO2), which are harmful to the environment, and are used as an international sustainability indicator to measure the impact of our habits. It is expressed in global hectares (hag). Thus, on average, a European would need 4.5 hga, while a North American would need 6.6 hga and an African 2.7. But more important is the average by region. And even more important is balancing our ecological impact , all altogether. By 2021, the 5 countries with the largest ecological footprint in hga were China, 5.2 billion; the U.S., 2.6 billion; India, 1.5 billion; Russia, 740 million and Brazil 580 million. Meanwhile, the total ecological footprint of the EU (as a whole) reaches 2.3 billion, the 3rd place compared to the other countries, with Spain contributing 187 million. Although China has a total ecological footprint twice as large as that of the U.S. and EU, the ecological footprint per person of the U.S. and EU is much larger because China has more population than the U.S. and EU, which means that consumption per person in the U.S. and EU is much higher. Each region contributes “ to environmental deterioration ” in different ways: the pronounced growth of the ecological footprint in China responds mainly to carbon dioxide emissions and the ecological footprint of farmland. Brazil has one of the largest biocapacity reserves in the world, however, it has decreased steadily in recent decades, while the demand for raw materials at the national and international level has increased. Russia's ecological footprint has decreased as a result of partial de-industrialization derived from the dissolution of the USSR and the decrease in the use of coal. Despite this, Russia's per capita ecological footprint remains considerably higher than the world's average per capita biocapacity. By 2023, the Global Footprint Network estimated humanity's ecological footprint on 1.71 planet Earths, indicating that humanity's demands were 1.71 times more than what was renewing the planet's ecosystems. In recent decades, human development has advanced at the expense of the planet. We need to make changes if prosperity is to be achieved for all within the boundaries of our planet. To do this, it is essential to change our lifestyle, adopting new habits such as: Optimizing energy consumption by installing on-grid or hybrid solar systems in your home or business while opting for a green energy company that also embraces the advantages of our Integration Coefficient IC that improves the efficiency of the supply chain . Recycling and giving a new life to materials. Reducing the consumption of meat and plastic. Transporting yourself sustainably. Let's do it together. Please Contact Us for more information.

  • FROM ARBOTHERAPY TO IC THERAPY

    WORK-LIFE BALANCE IS THE KEY FACTOR OF SUCCESS In a community of successful entrepreneurs, chances are you love what you do for a living. And while the path may be blurry, there's a big difference between hard work and being a workaholic. When you are in the process of building something big, sometimes you forget to think about yourself. Many have this typical agenda: You know the plan; sitting many hours a week, almost blind from staring at the computer screen hour after hour. And while you think you're sacrificing everything for the sake of this incredible project that's putting you out there in the world, the truth is that your best work will come when you have your best professional results but also at your personal best. And believe us, our best ideas come from our best personal moments and the great work-life balance we have developed. An example: On a wonderful walk with my beautiful wife through the forests of the stunning small city of Sisters in Oregon, we suddenly stopped for a few moments when my wife insisted on starting an “Arbotherapy” session. How so? I asked her. She explained the benefits of hugging (literally) trees for mental and physical health inviting me to hug together an imponent tree in the forest together, holding hands, “creating an infinite circle of great energy transfer between the forest and us”. We spent about 10 minutes in the process and my daughter took a photo of us. It was truly the best and most relaxing part of the evening. And from this experience, this publication emerged: From Arbotherapy to IC Therapy . We didn't know, even according to scientific research, that hugging trees can improve your physical and mental health. According to those studies, Arbotherapy is proven to reduce pain, avoid blood pressure, and promote emotional well-being. But what if I told you there was an even more powerful therapy? Then, Arbotherapy teaches us that nature is greatly positive for our physical and emotional health. By hugging a tree, we absorb its energy, promoting healing and inner balance.  On the other hand, our marketing and manufacturing model Integration Coefficient IC , offers a holistic solution for businesses, addressing challenges from factory management to logistics and customer satisfaction . By implementing IC, companies can optimize their operations, reduce costs and improve efficiency. If you “hug” the Integration Coefficient IC in your business operation, you will feel the same people enjoy when they hug a tree. Just as Arbotherapy promotes connection with nature, "IC Therapy" encourages connection between all aspects of a business. From production to delivery, the Integration Coefficient IC creates a synergy that drives business success. Just as Arbotherapy promotes connection with nature, IC Therapy encourages connection between all aspects of a business. From production to delivery, IC creates a synergy that drives business success and sustainability . Imagine a world where businesses thrive just as people do by hugging trees. By combining the advantages of Arbotherapy and IC Therapy, we can create a healthier and more balanced future for everyone. Join the corporate harmony revolution and embrace IC Therapy today.

  • RISE OF SHARED SELF-CONSUMPTION

    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.

  • SOLAR BUSINESS SHAKE UP

    GAINS VISION: SHORT-TERM VS. LONG-TERM AND FOCUS LOST In a shocking turn, "Holaluz" and "Solarprofit", big solar companies in Spain, announced the mass layoff of 30% of employees. The economic maelstrom is not new, but the reasons behind this move offer a critical lesson in how companies confront the challenges of the solar market. Our next analysis, based on an article by the prestigious "Xataka" website (November 2023), sheds light on the strategies that led to this turning point. Both companies point to the reduction in the electricity bill and the increase in bank interest loans as the main causes of their problems. However, digging deeper reveals a fundamental disconnect between the pursuit of short-term profits and long-term sustainability . The fact that solar companies have opted to own and manage their solar installation services, thus cutting contracts with external companies or freelancers, apparently to improve margins, has turned out to be counterproductive. Instead of transferring those savings to the end customers , they only sought to keep the "profit" of the external installers. This voracity for short-term profits has led to poor adaptation to an ever-changing market. The disconnect between the need for immediate profitability and creating a sustainable base has resulted in mass layoffs. The race to reduce the electricity bill has become a marathon, not a sprint, and many companies, caught in the trap of immediate profitability, are falling behind. In contrast, when the Integration Coefficient IC is followed up, companies are demonstrating resistance. The IC model is more than a business strategy; It's a mindset that puts the customer first and embraces sustainability . While companies such as "Holaluz" and "Solarprofit" struggle with layoffs, or when solar businesses shake up , companies with Integration Coefficient IC adopted seek to maintain efficient and collaborative supply chains . The IC advocates collaboration and specialization, allowing each link in the supply chain to shine in what they do best letting end users feel like the stars align . The Integration Coefficient IC also exposes the fallacy of thinking that payroll growth can equal market growth. Supply chain efficiency, not payroll size, is key. Outsourcing specialized services allows for adaptability and specialization. The current situation is not only an economic setback but a wake-up call. Greed for short-term profits and lack of long-term vision have led these companies to a crossroads. The lesson is clear: those who prioritize sustainability and customer satisfaction are the ones who will weather the economic storms and create a lasting halo in the minds of their customers , preventing them from getting caught in a monkey trap .

  • GREENHOUSE SOLAR POWER SYSTEM

    AN INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC APPROACH When seeking to offer integrated solutions like, for example, Greenhouse Solar Power Systems , adapted to specific needs , as we do through the Integration Coefficient IC , it is necessary to get the supply chain channels used to offer solar solutions that can grow the prestige of their businesses, which they can add something unique to the current solar solutions that they offer to their market until now and that they can reach a significant number of clients or economic sectors in their region to convert them into “anti-pollution” centers and thus promote environmental sustainability . Businesses oriented to volume but with innovation and intelligence. In this sense, Greenhouses constitute a segment in itself worth considering for solar business development using both on-grid and/or hybrid installations. These greenhouses are typically human constructions that, due to their high density of use, can be seen from space as a dense white zone that, for example, only in Almería, Andalusia, Spain, is equivalent to an area of 100,000 soccer fields, that is, about 30,000 hectares. According to measurements made by the Andalusian Energy Agency, the average radiation at its La Mojonera station (Almería), on a surface with an inclination of 35 degrees, which is what the “roofs” of the most common greenhouses in this area usually have, is 180.8 kWh per square meter. Taking advantage of only 5 percent of that radiation, an efficiency applied for the moment to the new kind of flexible transparent solar panels, for one year, electrical energy of 31,366 million megawatt hours would be obtained. With this generation, three-quarters of the energy needs of all of Andalusia would be covered. The previous calculations have been made based on data obtained from the Andalusian Energy Agency, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development of the “Junta de Andalucía”, the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, the National Institute of Statistics, the University of Michigan and the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia. Researchers from the University of Almería state in a publication in the scientific journal “Energies” that if the roof of the greenhouses in Almería, Murcia, and Granada had solar panels, 31% of Spain's energy needs could be generated (even with transparent flexible panels of 5% efficiency). The study also points out how the profitability of agricultural operations under plastic could be increased by generating solar energy. It is estimated that by using BIPV-type solar panels whose efficiency is similar to those of current panels, close to 20% or more, that is 4 times more than what is available for new flexible panels of maximum transparency, that, although they are not completely transparent, some studies and even installations of the same type in other countries have shown that they are very suitable for the application without any risk for the plants to grow properly. We invite solar installers in that region, and anyone else interested, to subscribe to our website for more information.
