In the dynamically changing marketplace of the American Energy Revolution, technologies like Solar, that PRODUCE new power, have taken a big psychological hit over technologies like LED lighting that REDUCE power consumption. Most notably, the recent public outrage over the $535 Million government investment in the failed Solyndra solar company has fueled the fire to reduce spending on the overall “Green Economy”. Solar panel engineering and production is expensive relative to other energy sources, so the development often relies on government subsidies. As well, the finished products are expensive to the end user so Tax Credits and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) are also key drivers to the commercialization. In short, making power is expensive and requires help along the way for an end user to realize a payback inside of ten years.
By contrast, Energy Reducing technology like LED lighting can stand on its own feet to generate paybacks in side of 3 to 5 years for certain commercial applications. As an example, the EAGLE LED TUBE delivers a 25% or higher Return on Investment (ROI) for end users that are either poised for re-lamping or have 24/7 Operations like Parking Garages, Triple Shift Manufacturing, Warehouse or Distribution Centers. Commercial Office applications with favorable paybacks include Fire Stair Towers. Finally, hallways for Hotels, Hospitals, and Multi-Family properties also give paybacks withing 3 years. Naturally, kWh rates that are over the national average of $.10, enhances the ROI. In the US, the high kWh regions typically include the Northeast and West Coast along with Hawaii and Alaska.
