5. Primary Market Barrier: Cost
Roof Full of PV Panels
• $80,000
Customer’s perspective:
“I want to be completely off
the grid and for my meter
to run backwards.”
Hybrid Cars
• $35,000
Customer’s perspective:
“I have to drive 6000
miles just to make up for
the extra cost. It’s not
worth it.”
6. Secondary Market Barrier : Oil
and Utility Companies, etc.
• Savings vs. Generation
• Model of energy generation must be
integrated at the consumer level to move
the market forward
– Independence from the grid, personal power
7. The Problem
H Energy
Power Systems
Consumers are generally locked-in to the existing electric
grid and local utility to serve their electric energy needs.
We’re coming to recognize the need for more renewable
energy:
Three reasons are:
1. Prohibitive costs
2. Local restrictions
3. Lack of professional installation.
Renewable power must become readily accessible to allow
full long term renewable power integration.
9. Alternative is…
H Energy
Power Systems
Based on marketing analysis, the following conclusions
can be drawn:
1. No turn key residential systems
2. No product or alternative product in retail stores
3. Majority of residential products can be extremely
complicated for most people.
4. The cost ranges wildly from $750 to $13,000.
5. There is producer interest and product uncertainty
.
10. • Power small non-essential appliances
• Safely remove one electrical circuit off the power grid. No power is
sent back to the grid.
• Lower power bill by reducing monthly consumption and lower
carbon dioxide emissions.
• Provide alternative to grid power from utilities
• Act as a backup power generator in a fixed installation
– Mobile use in case of emergency
– (Suggested use) Remove garage circuit off the grid to power
1. electric car charge; by 2020, there will be a total of 2.5 million electric cars, 3
million plug-in hybrids, and 6.5 million hybrids.
2. garage door during power outage
What should be the product
capabilities for under $1000?

11. Still out of Reach for Most People
Requires professional installation
80% of the population has to
budget for the cost $3500
12. Design Concept: Consumer Market Unit
A hybrid generator, wind / solar, connected in series and attached by an
adjustable length cord to the power pack unit.
The power collected from the hybrid generator is stored in a battery inside the
power box. It is converted and distributed to four outlets designed to plug in
small non-essential appliances.
An additional output allows the user to safely take one power circuit in the
home off the grid. No power is transmitted back to the grid.

13. Supplement Power Generation
• With just a 600 watt inverter one can power:
– Window air conditioner 450 watts
– Television 250 watts
– Computer and monitor 200 watts
– Two 75 watt lights 150 watts
– Emergency power for electric car charge
– Emergency power to open garage door during power outage
• Every hour the unit is not in use, it stores that hour worth
of electricity until needed.

14. The Concept is Affordable:
The average consumer expects us to build it for them
15. Typical 24v Installation: Grid Connect System
•Requires professional installation thus very expensive
•Currently offered as a possible solution by many companies
•Limited commercial applications
16. Typical Battery Based System Wiring
Less complicated but still out of reach for most people.
17. Battery Based System
• Generates electricity from the wind and Sun.
• That electricity is stored in its battery until it is used.
• Inverter converts the 12 volt battery voltage into the 120
volts used in the home.
• There are several electrical circuits in each home.
Plugging the unit into a wall socket will power that entire
circuit.
• Largest potential for market development. Key is…
Does not require professional installation and thus
has the largest market potential and appeal

20. Renewables Are Not Fossil Fuels
• A different business model must be adopted
• A retail model works because renewable power
generation products will be modular.
• Parts and Service will define how we make
money on renewable energy
21. Paradigm Shift
H Energy
Power Systems
Stop quantifying progress in terms of savings and
conservation.
Create an energy generation culture. Savings are
theoretical. Power generation will have a more immediate
impact on the consumer and make the consumer more
interested in pursuing power generation.
As installations become larger, sell an installation package
service for each unit or larger installation.
Promote a modular concept of design.
22. Vertical Integration Map
• Utility companies would profit from this
secondary emerging market for consumer
products through vertical integration:
– Sale of modular components
– Service packages for large installations
– Inspection programs for both commercial and
residential installations
23. The Importance of a Consumer Product
• Without an entry level product, renewable energy will
never become commonplace nor gain widespread
acceptance.
• Alternative energy’s future depends on bringing to
market a renewable energy power generation system
that is affordable to the general population.
• The consumers must temporarily or partially separate
from the grid to create demand for renewable power
generation.
• Potential test markets include: California, New York,
and Florida, energy and space conscious states.
