Beginning in June 2011, we partnered with the Green Living Project to co-present renewable energy education events in Portland and nationwide. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with this innovative media production and entertainment company.
AM Solar
AM Solar of Eugene, Oregon installed our entire 600-watt solar electric PV system. They are also helping us to retool our battery storage, inverter and PV control system. This family-owned business is wonderful to work with.

Greg Martin, Bob Nichols and the crew at Kaya provided a place for us to work on the prototype for several months and donated labor to help build the interior walls and ceilings.

This is the company responsible for nearly all of the most innovative design and engineering on the prototype, especially regarding the solar water heating system.

Beginning April 2009, we partnered with the Community Transition Program to create the Solar Transition Cafe, a solar powered waffle cart employing underserved youth in the CTP. The cafe is scheduled to launch in North Portland in late 2009.
