Though the show itself was not a big hit, DyoCore's presence at the show was! I've been to a few Green shows and they tend to draw a good crowd. This one did not. They usually also draw a lot of vendors that aren't quite "Green". For example our booth was ajacient to someone selling wrist bands that gave you super human powers. Unforunatly Super Human powers only work on specific people that are "open" to the concept. I was not so lucky and still walk to work rather than fly.

But DyoCore did come off as a super hero at the show drawing complete attention from all 20 show visitors over the three day event and all the other vendors - another 10 people. We designed a simple booth and setup the SolAir center allowing visitors to touch and feel the SolAir product as they walked by. It was welcoming to see such an overwhelming support for both our product and the small wind industry. It was as interesting to find all 5 Solar Panel vendors around us grew cobwebs in their booths.

Small wind solutions are new within the industry and too little actual installed real world conditions are available to make a decision as to if this is a "real" solution alternative or even combination with existing Solar. What is know is Solar is expensive, requires ongoing maintenance and quite often if not always under performs. This was reflected greatly in the lack of attention show visitors gave to the Solar vendors. It was also shown in the amount of visitors we had to our booth that had solar systems they were unhappy with.

The primary difference between the two is price. Wind is about 1/3 the cost of Solar for the equivalent projected output. The real barrier is getting to the truth about "real" output. But overall it tends to upset a buyer when they spend over $30,000 on a solar system to find out that the product only performs about 40% of what it should.

Overall this first local market event was a success for our small company. This coming weekend we are participating in our second local market event - the Del Mar Home Show. With several hundreds of vendors this should prove to be a busy weekend!
