One-line Pitch: 

SunWater Solar, Inc. is a well-established solar thermal company with the team, the experience and the plan to become the largest commercial solar thermal integrator in the United States.

Business Overview: 

SunWater Solar designs, installs and services Solar Thermal systems that lower utility bills, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help clients meet sustainability requirements. With extensive project management experience in domestic hot water heating, process heating and solar cooling, SunWater Solar staff are among the Solar Thermal industry’s top professionals. Founded in 2006 and based in Richmond, California, SunWater Solar serves clients in a variety of industries and focuses exclusively on Solar Thermal technology. For more information, please visit www.sunwatersolar.com.

Product/Services Overview (what does it do): 

Commercial and industrial facilities that heat water or other fluids with electricity or fossil fuels such as natural gas and propane pay large amounts of money to purchase this fuel from utility companies and other fuel providers. The facilities’ water heating bills are an unavoidable reality exacerbated by volatile fluctuations in fuel prices. Production and use of fossil fuels for heating water result in carbon emissions and other pollution. By utilizing solar energy, solar thermal systems greatly reduce emissions and the cost of heating water. A solar thermal system pays for itself in time, eventually putting money into the pockets of the system owner rather than the pockets of utilities and other fuel providers.

Project Funding

Amount Sought: 
$2,000,000
If raising funds, what shall the funds be used for?: 

Enact SunWater Solar’s strategy for growth and expansion. For more information, please contact SunWater Solar.

One-line Pitch: 

Portable solar powered generators and water treatment systems for distributed electrical generation and clean water creation.

Business Overview: 

Coyle Industries, Inc. designs, manufactures, and distributes solar powered electrical generators and water pumping and purification systems. Our devices are ideal for emergency electrical backup, developing countries, remote construction, outdoor music and sporting events, agricultural irrigation, and many other applications. Our products require no set-up, are portable, operate in complete silence, require no refueling, and are completely free of emissions. We apply innovative designs that use commercially available components to construct highly reliable power and water delivery systems for the twenty-first century.

Product/Services Overview (what does it do): 

Our CM4A mobile solar generator creates up to 2kW hours of daily electricity in a typical environment and stores over 5kW hours of power. This provides clean power to run lights, water pumps, heaters, computers, communication equipment, power tools, musical gear, and many other devices. The generator can be easily repositioned to face the sun throughout the day, amplifying the solar collection capability and providing even greater power output (up to 20% more than fixed arrays).

The solar generators don't require any maintenance other than keeping the solar panel clean, which can be accomplished in 30 seconds with a damp cloth. There is no internal combustion engine to fuel, oil, or otherwise service. Since our devices aren’t dependent on constant refueling and have no moving parts, they are particularly simple to use.

Project Funding

Amount Sought: 
$250,000
If raising funds, what shall the funds be used for?: 

Coyle Industries is looking for a seed funding round to finance ongoing research and development of Company portable clean energy and water pumping and purification systems, as well as to support ongoing sales and marketing efforts.

Pre-Money Valuation:

Project Location: 
Moscow, MOS, 119571
Russia
One-line Pitch: 

Russian Scientists and Engineers who have created a unique power station with linear oscillating energy transformer are seeking a joint venture partner to create a company in order that serial production can begin. Funding required is US$6million

Business Overview: 

In Russia a group of chief scientists and engineers have created a power station of a unique type unlike any other to be found in the world. They have the monopoly and exclusive right for this product. They are seeking to create a partnership - possibly Russian/American or Russian/European The Russian party will put in the enterprise, results of five years work on OWPS and the patents will be the joint property of both parties. The JV partner will fund US$6 million. Target use of the investment is guaranteed by the laws of Russia. During the next two years several thousand OWPS can be made. The prime cost of one OWPS will be approx 6,000 US$ and the prime cost of the OWPS larger power will increase in multiple rates of the prime cost of the singular OWPS. The cost of 1 kilowatt per hour will be no more than 2UScents. For example, the prime cost of the power station with output power 40-50 kw will compose 50000US$ - $US60000.

Product/Services Overview (what does it do): 

Compared to traditional wind power stations with rotating working movement the OWPS (oscillating wind power station) has a number of principal advantages;- Capacity is to a marked degree (at least ten times) at same dimensions; considerable lesser dimensions at same capacity, more security, ecologically harmless, possibility of mobile operation in field conditions, possibility of being placed safely along roads, city streets or on roofs of buildings.

Project Funding

Amount Sought: 
$6,000,000
If raising funds, what shall the funds be used for?: 

Funds are required by a group of eminent Russian scientists who have created a unique type of wind power station with linear oscillating energy transformer which is patented in Russia. The principal capacity of the work of the construction has been verified in the Zhukovsky Military Engineering Academy as well as on acting models made in the State Institute of Physics, Moscow, Russia. Completion anticipated approx 10 months time. Funding is required of US$6million.
