Denver, CO— The Unleaded Group is now solar powered.  Panels installed on the roof of the offices at 2314 Broadway St. in Denver are now fueling the web site design firm, Unleaded Software and off-shoot web hosting company, Beanstalk Hosting (www.beanstalksolarhosting.com), member of the Unleaded Group.

Hosting through Beanstalk means you save the planet as well as save time being on hold waiting for someone in another country to handle your hosting issues.

Beanstalk takes advantage of Colorado’s 300+ sunny days annually, turning that sunshine into a little energy used to power business and individual websites. 

To celebrate the launch of http://www.beanstalksolarhosting.com is offering a special discount to clients.

The experts at Adobe Solar designed a solar panel system that would work best for this specific building.  Installation includes solar panels, an inverter, an electrical service panel and a net meter.  The solar photovoltaic (PV) modules capture the sun’s energy and convert it to Direct Current (DC) power.  The inverter then converts the DC power into Alternating Current (AC) power, which is the same type of power supplied by the utility company.  The electrical service panel then distributes the power to your business and distributes any excess power to the electrical grid (the network of power lines that delivers power to a region).  The net meter measures energy produced and energy used.  Production of solar energy is silent, pollution free and requires little maintenance.

Excess electricity produced from the sun does not go to waste because it is fed back into the grid.  The companies are then able to sell the surplus energy back to the utility provider saving on expenses every month.  “It’s the sun’s stimulus plan,” said Vice President of business development, Lauren Engel. 

Use of renewable energy benefits the planet.  And at Unleaded Software and Beanstalk hosting, just going to work everyday is helping to reduce the carbon footprint. The Unleaded Group has attracted new like-minded clients who pride themselves on being eco-conscientious.  “When helping the environment is a common goal, everyone wins,” said Engle.  The companies increase business and savings and can pass the cost efficiency on to clients.

As in every facet of business, the Unleaded Group invests in what they believe in.  The initial expense for solar panels can be pricey (starting at about 20k) but the cost-saving benefits can last over 30 years and the courtesy to the environment is immeasurable.
