*** Residential and commercial renewable energy installations. ***

In August, a small electricity producing facility was installed at the Santiago Canyon College (SCC) Coast Keeper Garden near the corner of Jamboree Road and Santiago Canyon Road. This facility is a product of the combined efforts of students, wind turbine company DyoCore, and the City of Orange Building Division. The average wind speed in the City of Orange ranges from 2 to 11 miles per hour, enabling wind to provide an alternative source of energy through the use of small turbines.

This installation includes two residential scale wind turbines, with a backup solar photovoltaic (P.V.) system capable of producing 0.2 kilowatts of electricity. The system is capable of capturing wind and solar energy, and converting the energy to electricity. The electricity is stored in batteries that provide power to illuminate the garden landscape for five hours per night, from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. The estimated energy produced by this off-grid system is equivalent to reducing 1/4 metric ton of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as $50 worth of electricity annually. The energy produced by this system is equivalent to that generated by one 36” x 48” solar panel. Homeowners that have installed solar/P.V. systems have been able to reduce GHG emissions by over 8 metric tons, saving over $900 dollars annually.

The major difference between a solar/P.V. system and a wind turbine system is that presently the cost of a wind turbine system is fully refundable a Southern California Edison incentive program. Installation of P.V. systems or wind turbine systems should be performed by individuals with experience and training related to renewable energy devices. Only licensed electrical contractors with C-10 license or knowledgeable owner-builders should install such systems to ensure safe building and electrical conditions. The City’s Building Division can be a resource for the public before making such a decision as to proper installation methods and procedures.

The project at SCC’s Coast Keeper Garden demonstrates how the renewable energies can be utilized in small scale projects such as a small park or residential project to off-set utility costs. The Coast Keeper Garden is a showcase project and interested public can schedule to see this installation by contacting Ryan Tade, Energy Efficiency Intern, at Rtade@cityoforange.org or (714) 744-7229.

DyoCore, a San Diego hybrid small wind/solar manufacturer on Friday July 23rd benefited from a unanimous approval by the County Planning Commission board to adopt changes in permitting to allow for the install and use of small residential/commercial wind turbines. DyoCore’s SolAir is one of the first small wind products to be allowed up to 5 units per structure anywhere under the jurisdiction of the County Planning Commission

DyoCore manufactures the SolAir, a residential / small commercial hybrid wind turbine. This small residential power house can provide about 2,000 kWh’s annually in green renewable power. For the past several years DyoCore has worked diligently in both becoming the first and only residential roof top turbine approved by the CEC (California Energy Commission) and working with municipalities on updating their building codes to allow its communities to take advantage of its technology and the state incentives that make the SolAir almost completely free to purchase and install!

SolAir is the only approved Turbine though the CEC that is virtually free. For each installed SolAir unit the state of California through the CEC, funded by major utilities companies such as San Diego Gas and Electric, will pay you up to 100% of your cost and installation within 4 to 6 weeks of final installation.

David Raine, the founder of DyoCore said “The County Planning Commission of San Diego are not the first to recognize the potential of Small Wind and DyoCore’s power generator in the state of California and not the first in the County as Carlsbad recognized the benefit of these solutions within its community only just a few weeks ago along with several other areas in California that are very friendly to renewable energy and specifically small wind”. David expects other communities to follow in these footsteps very soon but not without an uphill battle.

States and the Federal government in preparation of these new modern green technologies several years ago began adopting and outlining Green energy guidelines but these have and will continue to take time to trickle down to the community level.

Communities have not addressed these types of products since the early 70’s and most current regulations are specific to “Large” pole mounted turbines. DyoCore’s SolAir in most communities doesn’t fit into any building code category. Even though it is light weight, appealing, silent and an easy to install generator at less than 65” tall this is a completely new solution that requires new thinking in how to change existing or implement new codes that allow for modern friendly green technologies.

In a time in which communities service budgets and personnel are being cut right now seems to be the most inconvenient time to expense the costs of creating, amending and approving new codes. But on the other hand DyoCore SolAir creates sustainable energy that reduces a community’s dependence on the grid which at certain times during the year can be very costly.

In the near future DyoCore is positive that both federal and state regulations will allow communities to implement and manage guidelines for the quick deployment of their products nationwide. But this week’s first step within San Diego puts DyoCore on the map as a major innovator and contributor to the future of residential small wind!

March 2010 was a milestone in DyoCore’s effort to bring the SolAir™ 800 Wind Turbine to market in California. This State-of-the-Art wind turbine is revolutionary in its ability to reduce homeowner monthly utility bills using the power of wind to generate electricity. Three years in development and research was rewarded recently through the following events

• CALIFORNIA STATE UTILITY COMMISSION CERTIFICATION (Renewable Energy Unit): certified the, 1st low wind residential roof top surface mountable fifty-six inch tall, SolAir 800 Wind Turbine for their cash rebate program and listing on the California State List of Eligible Equipment. The California State Rebate money along with the federal tax incentive of thirty percent of gross purchase price completely reimburses the homeowners for his out-of-pocket expenses. Lower utility bills at no cost.
• PUBLIC INTRODUCTION OF SOLAIR 800: The DyoCore Team presented the SolAir 800 in February at the Del Mar Home Products Expo to rave reviews and signed purchase orders from thirty homeowners wishing to install from one to four units on their property. Catch the Wind, ditch the utility bill.
• WWW.DYOCORE.COM INTERACTIVE WEB-CAM WEBSITE: DyoCore’s new website will allow individuals to see the SolAir 800 Wind Turbine operating in real time (San Diego, County), download information about wind energy, state and local regulations regarding wind turbine installations, product prices, install time, and a host of other valuable information. Watch the Wind? What’s next?
• FIRST SOLAR 800 WIND TURBINE INSTALLATION (San Marcos, California): The DyoCore Team watched as the first installation took place in San Marcos. The first is great, but DyoCore will rapidly follow with over twenty other scheduled installations throughout San Diego County over the next month. Distributor relations have been established for the rest of California, New York, Illinois, Texas, Florida, other parts of the US, Europe, Asia, and South America. A SolAir 800 Wind Turbine is coming to a home near you, soon!

For David Raine, inventor and founder of DyoCore, this is significant milestone in the change in thinking in this industry. “Until this moment I’ve been constantly told by the industry that small wind doesn’t work despite my live camera and live data feed that demonstrates directly that not only does it work, it can work at a low cost!” This accomplishment is only one of many in the works with several other states now looking at SolAir unit as a applicable solution for residential roof top mount applications.

DyoCore’s SolAir product line is priced for the average homeowner to begin small and build or buy a full package when needed. The price on a single installation is approximately under $4,000.00 with installation. Additional SolAir units can be simply added at anytime and networked together via a plug and play solution. For the average home a full system consists of four to five units, an inverter, wind monitor, and installation for around $11,000. Previously, companies sold individual units for over $30,000.00 which were bulky, unsightly, and sustained on-going mechanical problems.

DyoCore, a San Marcos company, produces the SolAir product line in American made at its Chicago manufacturing facility, with administrative offices in San Marcos, California. Questions about Dyocore or SolAir products can be addressed to Mr. David Raine, 760-807-2135 or dave@dyocore.com.

The SolAir™ 800 I is a 56” tall, Small Solar Wind Turbine that can reduce home owner’s electrical utility costs by 20% to over 100% each and every month. The product is easy to install and is guaranteed for five years on electrical and ten years structural and is UL and CE certified. The SolAir™ 800 I is manufactured in Chicago and is an American made product.

Until now, wind turbine products suitable for use at home or small businesses bulky, bereft with mechanical problems, and frankly were cost prohibitive. The SolAir™ 800 I can be purchased individually for as low as $2,400.00 or using an inverter, in banks of four for around $9,000.00.

These costs are really facetious because the State of California offers a cash rebate up to $5,500.00 to purchasers of this technology and the federal government offers tax incentives. Additional savings over the warranty lifetime of ten years makes the purchase of small wind turbines for home or business a solid investment.
