Ken A. Miller, USGBC
Director-Owner
Licensed General Contractor

With over 36 years of experience as a licensed General Contractor and hands-on builder, Ken is always on the look-out for new and innovative building techniques and products that are energy efficient, healthy and safe, and that address environmental concerns.

Throughout his career, Ken has facilitated the construction of a wide range of residential, commercial, government, and historical projects.

Ken’s design and creation of the kama-EEBS™ panel was a direct response to clients who wanted buildings that were more environmentally friendly, more thermally efficient, more durable and, at the same time, cost effective. After extensive research, Ken concluded that if he was going to build with such a product he would have to design it himself. So, he did. kama-EEBS™ was created to meet and exceed the requests of his clients.

Green Building

Green building is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources – energy, water, and materials – while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal – the complete building life cycle.
Effective green building can lead to:

1. Reduced operating costs by increasing productivity and using less energy and water

2. Improved public and occupant health due to improved indoor air quality

3. Reduced environmental impacts by reducing and/or eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, recyclability, reduction in waste and construction time
In the United States, buildings account for:

• Between 40 and 49% of total energy use
• 25% of total water consumption
• 70% of total electricity consumption
• 38% of total carbon dioxide emissions

However, the environmental impact of buildings is often underestimated, while the perceived costs of building green are overestimated.

Green building brings together a vast array of practices and techniques to reduce and ultimately eliminate the impacts of buildings on the environment and human health.

kama-EEBS™ Panels are the most cost effective, safe, healthy and environmentally safe building product on the market today.

About

SPG Solar, Inc. (SPG) has its roots in the electrical contracting business. It was established in 2001 by Dan Thompson, a 20-year union electrician who was keenly aware of industry trends and the skyrocketing cost of electricity. Dan saw great opportunity for renewable energy in the coalescence of generous state rebates, federal tax credits, utility company net energy metering, and escalating customer demand for energy alternatives. His vision was to make solar power widely accessible by designing and building the highest-performing solar PV systems in the industry, and insulating customers from unpredictable electricity prices.

Named one of Entrepreneur Magazine’s Hot 100 Fastest Growing Companies in America, SPG Solar has become the leader in the integrated development, design and construction of solar PV systems for business, government, agriculture, schools and homes. We have designed and installed over 1,000 grid-tied, residential and commercial solar PV systems, more than any other company in Pacific Gas & Electric’s territory.

Over 500 of these systems have been for homes in northern California. The others have been commercial systems ranging from a 4.0 kW project at San Francisco’s AT&T Park, to a 1.18 MW installation for Butte County. SPG has received the largest renewable energy rebate in state history two times: one for an installation for the Sewerage Commission in Oroville, California, totaling $2.3 million; and another for an installation for Butte County, California, totaling $4.2 million.

SPG Solar is unique. Their team has extensive experience, credentials, knowledge, and a passion for the business. They closely link modeling, building and monitoring to optimize their PV systems for the dollar value of energy produced, which provides customers with a solar solution that has the best return on investment (ROI) the industry has to offer. Since SPG Solar does design, engineering, and installation in-house, our technicians and installers have more hands-on experience than others in the industry. And SPG was one of the first solar firms whose key construction and design employees were certified by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP).

That’s just the beginning of what makes SPG Solar the best solar company for both residential and commercial jobs. They also deliver turnkey systems that meet or exceed their energy production estimates; in fact, SPG’s combined PV modeling and monitoring systems are the most advanced and accurate in the industry. Their Customer Care Department provides outstanding long-term post-installation support, which is why our customer referrals are so high. SPG designs, patents, manufactures and sells their own solar products through Thompson Technology Industries, Inc. (TTI). And, because solar is a global energy solution, they formed SPG Solar International, Inc. (SPGI) to build projects for their customers overseas.

Net Metering

Each SPG Solar, Inc. (SPG) solar system is a combined technological and economic solution designed to eliminate the electric bill for a home or business. SPG’s solar systems stay connected to the utility grid—no batteries necessary—to take advantage of California’s Net Metering law. This law requires public utilities to credit renewable energy producers at the “retail rate” for the electricity they send out to the grid.

Net metering is designed to reduce demand during long hot summer days when energy demand is heaviest, while providing energy credits that allow solar producers to reduce or eliminate their annual electric bill.

Under Net Metering, a benefit of deregulation of the energy system, the utility credits solar energy producers for any surplus electricity they send out to the grid. On sunny days the electric meter spins backwards and the solar system earns credit for the energy at the utility’s retail energy rates. At night or on rainy days, the grid provides the power and the home or building taps into the credit the solar system earned while the sun was shining. The energy from the solar system plus the utility credit will zero out the net annual electric bill.

In the California region where most of the company’s systems are installed, SPG is one of PG&E’s Net Energy Metering (NEM) Services top clients. In fact, for Standard NEM small business and residential installations of 10 kW and below, SPG had the second highest number of interconnections in 2004. For the Expanded NEM projects ranging from 10 kW to 1 megawatt (MW), SPG had more interconnections than any other company in the PG&E territory in 2004.

To take advantage of net metering, SPG changes a home, business or government facility utility bill schedule to the A-6 time-of-use rate schedule for residences, and the E-7 time-of-use schedule for commercial and government customers.

XsunX

65 Enterprise
Aliso Viejo, CA 92656
Tel 949-330-8060
Fax 949-330-8061

About

XsunX possesses competitive strengths stemming from their experience with amorphous silicon and its derivatives as the primary absorber in our solar modules. Additionally, the consolidation of their equipment design and solar cell manufacturing activities within an integrated module assembly system will allow them to more effectively implement and continue to improve their manufacturing efficiency and reduce capital costs.

XsunX have focused on the development of thin film amorphous technologies and products due to inherent advantages of amorphous silicon over other solar absorbers.

In addition to the superior per watt performance thin film amorphous benefits from nearly thirty years of process development and research. This extensive body of work has also produced a knowledgeable and experienced vendor base providing access to improved semiconductor device technologies resulting from years of incremental improvements to manufacturing technologies in related areas such as thin film transistors, memory devices, and high performance opto-electric coatings. XsunX have engaged a select group of these vendors and established a primary and secondary vendor for each major system component.

Thompson Technology Industries, Inc.

About
Thompson Technology Industries, Inc. (TTI) was formed in 2005 to design, manufacture and sell innovative and premier solar photovoltaic (PV) products. Their products are the result of over 500,000 man-hours of solar PV system design, engineering and installation experience. Quite simply, when they could not find a top-quality product that we needed on a job, we designed, patented and manufactured our own. They are now offering these professional-grade products to the renewable energy industry.

Their founding company, SPG Solar, Inc. (SPG), started out five years ago. The handful of employees started installing solar PV systems to try to stabilize electricity costs for customers faced with rolling blackouts and skyrocketing utility costs. Together with our CEO, Dan Thompson, they faced design and installation problems, figured out solutions, and grew the company. Problem-solving innovations became patentable manufactured products. SPG has grown its business and its profit margins every year. Those original employees are now field leads. SPG is now the leader and largest integrated designer/installer of solar photovoltaic systems for residences, commercial sites and government facilities in California, with international contracts and a world-class reputation.

TTI products are the next part of that growth. TTI believes that there is no substitute for experience, and no other company has as much as they do. Their goal is to decrease the costs for the industry, and increase the overall return on investment. TTI wants solar to be affordable, widely available, and reliable.

Reduce your impact on global warming:
Americans travel over 7 billion miles daily and burn through nearly 420 million gallons of gasoline7, spewing approximately 10.5 billion pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air that we breathe8. Several other countries are beginning to catch up with those figures. Many scientists believe this additional CO2 contributes to climate change. They believe this may be the reason we have seen the temperature extremes, droughts, unusually severe rains, increasingly fierce storms, and melting glaciers of the last few years. Experts warn that we need to stop dumping extra carbon into the air before it’s too late to stop the damage.
