Hawaii- A Special Energy Situation |
Geography contributes to unique energy economy
- Hawaii does not have coal, oil or natural gas so practically all energy is derived from oil shipped into the state
- Consisting of multiple islands there is no singular power grid; Many Hawaiian companies are small and distributed throughout the multiple islands
- Many homes and farms are off grid and are dependant on local power supplies
Opportunities for demonstration and market entry
- Abundant sunshine makes Hawaii a perfect candidate for the Tassajara Technologies Solar Energy System
- Tassajara Technologies plans to work with LLNL to install a demonstration Solar Energy System at the Arc of Hilo a Hawaii Community Economic Development Corporation
- Tassajara Technologies has identified a candidate small commercial Operation for installation and demonstration of a prototype system
- The knowledge gained by The Hawaiian projects have direct applicability to developing Green Sun Solar Systems in countries with emerging consumer markets

Emerging Nations Target Market |
- Small rural organizations distributed energy needs
- Off grid with backup thermal source and/or storage for 24 hr heating and cooling
- On grid (if available) for backup electrical energy
- These cottage industries will typically have needs for both electrical and thermal energy
- Peak electrical energy requirements will vary with size of operation
- Peak thermal requirements will vary with nature of business (food processing will require more than light manufacturing or offices)
- Wired micro-grid distribution for electricity,
- distributed hot water and/or hot air for thermal
- Supplies energy needed for clean water, water desalination and purification
- Scalable installation sized to fit requirements of each stand-alone organization
- supporting various sized housing clusters
- Scale well suited to many micro-financed small businesses
- Low cost of installation and continuing operation
- In-country manufacturing of Green Sun Solar Systems will result in cost in accordance with local area labor rates (joint venture, co-owned company or under license)
- Reliable operation will assure long term low cost continuing operations

Emerging Nation Energy Economics |
“Green Sun” Systems provide a significant cost advantage in emerging nations
- no large non-recurring in fabrication facilities
- manufactured in-country
- local integration, test and installation
- easily scalable to match local area needs
- modular design allows for the local requirements
- low maintenance for around the clock operation
“Green Sun” design provides a mini-infrastructure, laying a foundation for development
- enables energy availability as electricity + heat and, with modular bolt-on, grid interface and local water desalination and purification
- Ideally for installations ranging from single family dwellings, to rural communities to local cottage industries without electrical grid availability

Disaster Recovery Energy Needs |
- Mobile platform:
- Emergency Solar Energy System mounted on wheeled or tracked vehicles capable of rapidly deploying to disaster sites
- Energy Output:
- Scalable to provide area requirements for electricity and localized source of heat and purified water
- Backup:
- Primary system driver is solar with propane as an ready backup for night or overcast operation
- Storage:
- Capable of storing both electrical and thermal energy to enable 24 hours of operation without solar
- Unattended Operation:
- Sufficient propane in addition to stored energy to enable rescue operations for up to 7 days
