My company, Arpin Group, used our renewable energy company to start the process of innovating solar systems for transportation companies that would, through solar panels on the roof tops and battery systems in the truck, reduce idling and wear and tear on trucks, thereby saving the truck owners money and saving our air mountains of dirty carbon.
That work was so successfully, as tested across our own trucks, that we merged our efforts with an innovator named Jeff Flath who had helped Cooley Group install the first solar outdoor billboard in Times Square NY.
Together, we formed a new company, eNow, and that company has taken the technology to a very broad group of companies, and government agencies, who are helping us finish our testing and bring these products--products that will change the world--to market.
Here's a look, and link, to the eNow site. We hope you visit them often, and we'd love to hear your comments on the products and their potential impact on the market place. These products, by the way, will be available across the globe:
