Ambassador Energy Fosters Goodwill and Cost Savings, As It Helps Introduce the Solar Revolution to the People of the Philippines

Ambassador Energy and Ambassador Energy College News - PRWeb Press Release Group — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 08:00:00 +0000

Responding to an early and growing demand for solar photovoltaics [PV] in the Philippines, Ambassador Energy [AE] agrees to open an agency there, focusing on solar education and system integration for homes, businesses, non-profit entities and government facilities.

Having spent several months studying the Filipino market for feasibility, founders of Ambassador Energy, Steve Fulgham and Kelly Smith, visited Manila to further solidify their decision to enter the market as a solar integrator. "The market is very young," said Kelly Smith, president of Ambassador Energy. "It has always been a dream of ours to be one of the first solar companies in a brand new market. We have now identified the viability, and our strategic partners there have made it possible."

The partners, who formed a company to become Ambassador Energy’s first international agency, include a construction firm, a housing developer, and an importer. “All of the partners are all Filipino business owners with many important contacts,” said Ambassador Energy CEO, Steve Fulgham. "It would be difficult to enter this market without them. They know how the systems work, who the key players are, and how to navigate the diverse landscape of logistics and policy. The marriage of their local knowledge, new government rebates and our solar expertise makes this endeavor very promising."

Included in the feasibility study was a residential solar system which the newly-developed team constructed on one of the partner's home this month. "The tough part was sizing and designing a system from the states, not seeing the site first-hand ahead of time," Fulgham added. "We ended up having to improvise a lot, and even moved the system from one roof to another. Once we got there, we saw some issues with our assumptions and chose to put the system on the roof of the property’s outdoor living area, requiring a change in hardware and design. The good news is the system works. It was a huge learning experience for the local team, as they now understand how important the front-end of the job is. System design and shipping the right parts are critical."

While the Filipino team moves forward to uncover installation opportunities on the islands, the U.S. Ambassador Energy team will implement a formal solar training program for them via AE's education arm, Ambassador Energy College. The training agenda includes classroom training at the AE training facility in Murrieta, CA, on-site training in the Philippines and brush-up courses through AE's online solar courses.

Family Owned-and-Operated Four Seasons Roofing Graduates From Solar Boot Camp and Becomes Ambassador Energy’s Newest Solar Agency, serving the Southern California Market for Solar PV

admin — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:53:38 +0000

Emerging as one of Los Angeles County’s rising stars in solar photovoltaics [PV], Four Seasons Roofing has officially embarked on the “Solar Revolution”, offering their commercial and residential clients turn-key solutions and no-nonsense information on turning the sun into power generation for their businesses and homes.

The Four Seasons solar team is led by Nelson Bardales, who says, “I participated in AE’s solar installation and solar sales training this month and am excited to take this new expertise, supported by Ambassador Energy, into our roofing business. The roof is such an important part of a roof-mounted solar installation. With our knowledge of roofing, solar systems we install will be done right.”

Historically, Four Seasons Roofing has offered roofing services for new construction, commercial roofs, including built-up, single-ply, and residential roofs, including composite shingle, shake and all types of tile. The firm now adds Solar Photovoltaics to their line-up and is powered by the nation’s most strategic solar support and distribution company, Ambassador Energy, Inc.

Bardales continued, “We are way ahead of the game given our experience as roofers and Ambassador Energy’s solar expertise. With the intensive training we have gotten from NABCEP certified instructors at AE’s solar training facility in Southern California, we are able to launch head-first into our solar work and know that our customers are going to get the best design, products, service and pricing. We believe that our customers deserve a solid local solar company, instead of falling into the hands of nationwide companies who don’t always have their best interest at heart. With AE as our back-end solar support partner and our knowledge of our community and clients, we are confident in our ability to help bring Los Angeles and the surrounding areas further into the solar movement.”

Ambassador Energy Empowers Western Riverside County Businesses Through a New Solar Finance Opportunity with Property Assessed Clean Energy [PACE] Designed Specifically for Commercial Customers

admin — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 18:27:28 +0000

Western Riverside Council of Governments [WRCOG] has just made available millions of dollars to finance commercial solar projects within the region. Ambassador Energy is using the fund, with its low interest rates and long terms, to assist commercial energy users in going solar.

“WRCOG rolled out HERO, the residential version of this, a year ago,” said Kelly Smith, president of Ambassador Energy in Murrieta. “HERO has been an enormously successful solar finance tool for homeowners who want the benefits of solar, but do not have the upfront cash to invest in their systems. As we have talked with business-owners about solar, we find that they have similar thoughts and have been waiting for the commercial version of PACE. Now that HERO Commercial is finally available here in Riverside County, we will see a lot more businesses going green.”

WRCOG states the benefits of HERO Commercial as:

No barrier to upfront funding for projects
Improvement in Net Operating Income (NOI)
Increased property value
Hedge against increasing utility costs
Up to 20 years financing
Acquire environmentally efficient building certifications

“For areas outside of Riverside County, such as San Diego County and other counties throughout California, we are able to offer similar commercial and agricultural solutions through another PACE program, called California First,” Smith continued. “The good news is that PACE programs are becoming more widespread, offering home- and business-owners flexible and accessible solar finance opportunities, so that they can go green, improve their properties’ values, immunize themselves from utility rate hikes, and save a ton of money over the long life of their solar systems.”

In general, the property owners need only to have 10% equity in their properties and to be current on their mortgage and property taxes. If they meet those qualifications, they may apply to use the fund’s money to buy solar, put the cost on their property tax roll, and pay for it over a term as long as 20 years. Smith continued, “A typical scenario will reflect the combined cost for the new lower utility bill and higher property tax bill will be lower than that of their previous utility bill alone, thus creating an immediate cash-positive situation for the customer with no money out of pocket.”

Ambassador Energy’s executive team has been building a Commercial Solar Division in anticipation of these new solar financing programs and other attractive leases. “We cut our teeth on commercial and agricultural solar systems years ago,” said Ambassador Energy CEO, [Steve Fulgham. “We even expanded our solar training division, Ambassador Energy College, to prep other solar companies for the increase in business. Solar is so good for the environment, for local business, for giving business owners the opportunity to save on their electrical costs. We are really happy to be a cog in this wheel of this progress.”
