1. Green Endowment LLC Says:

   Green Endwoment, LLC has engineered an entirely new business model for solar energy deployment across integrated systems. The model applies Kaiser Permanente’s 71 year experience with vertical and horizontal integration to the solar energy sector. All middlemen, from start-up capital to traditional equity investors to the end user are cut out. Only 5 players are necessary: the end user, investment fund of the end user, contractor, traditional banks and solar panel/inverter producers. The model has an internal finance feature that side steps the need for equity investors that is handicapping solar roll out attempts today. The model is a genetically engineered virus that causes rapid spread of solar farms through any integrated system into which it is introduced. The end users will be institutions who will be the best stewards of national trust and resources and those that make this country great: Nonprofits, US Goverment and Military. Due to the internal finance feature and the multilevel marketing chain reaction effect, 100 projects(2 per state) can multiply in 10 years to 100,000. This is enough solar capacity to cover the daily electric consumption of the US,
   about 500,000MW. Successful execution of this model can have the US completely off fossil fuel sources of electric grid power and achieve total US energy independence in 10 years.
