The same day

I wondered
if Grady EMC demanding extra insurance
was even legal,
solar pioneer Alton Burns

posted this comment
:

Thank You Mr. John Quaterman as I commented on face-book, I talked
to Mr. Rex Robertson with Grady EMC today and he told me that the
EMC will install my bi-directional meter next week. I ask him,
”how many customers does Grady EMC serve?” he told me
13,000 and then I ask, “how many have solar?” he replied
4. That makes me a solar pioneer and this installation sets the
precedence for those who follow. Once again Thank You very Much!

300x225 Sign panels, in Alton Burns' solar panels, by Alton Burns, 13 February 2015

Ron Jackson of South GA Solar Power of Valdosta installed these solar panels for
Alton Burns of Coolidge, in Thomas County, GA.

Last I heard, Grady Electric Membership Corporation had still not done the grid connect, 8 weeks later.
Something about wanting insurance.

Colquitt EMC
never asked for that when they connected my panels.

Phase 2 Solar Power for the Wisenbaker Building —Ron Jackson

Phase 2 after
South GA Solar Power, LLC remediated the historic Wisenbaker Building
is solar generation, according to Ron Jackson.

We wanted to … remediate some of the problems first to reduce the load,
to reduce the energy consumption.


Phase 2 Solar Power for the Wisenbaker Building --Ron Jackson

Once we’ve done that, phase 2 kicks in, which is the solar power application.
If we’d done that first, we probably would have put on a 20KW system
to handle this load.
But because we’ve done the phase 1 project and reduced the energy load,
now we only need an 8-10 KW system,
so the prices have been reduced.
Next year hopefully it will be a fully green, fully functioned
solar power application.

Right in downtown Valdosta!



The

historic Wisenbaker Building
,
100 North Patterson Street, is at the corner of West Hill Avenue.
It was

purchased by Gino Fina in 2006,

and is now used as

Valdosta Shared Office Space.

Here’s

the video.

increased air flow and reduced energy consumption.

Valdosta Shared Office Space, Downtown Valdosta,
is in the Wisenbaker Building, built in 1884:
the owner hired South GA Solar Power, LLC as an engineer consultant
to bring down the energy this building was using.
Ron Jackson says they examined air flow, average load,
and other factors,
bringing $12,000/year electric bill down to $3,000,
120 amps/day down to 17 amps/day.


“Consider us as your next consultant for your green energy product.”

Self-contained solar attic fan –Ron Jackson of South GA Solar Power, LLC

At Cinco de Mayo,

Ron Jackson explained
a self-contained solar attic fan

Self-contained solar attic fan

sold by
South GA Solar Power, LLC.
He was assisted by mechanical engineer Danielle, and isn’t that Business Manager Sharon Jackson?

It’s actually an exhaust fan powered by the sun.
What it does is it simply takes the hot air,
125-150° heat, exhausts it out
down to 90°, which
makes the house cooler, which makes the air conditioner stop running.
Which makes the electric bill reduce, go down, 50%.
My bill was $345 a month now it’s $120 a month.
By a simple application!
If you need any more information, call

Ron Jackson at South GA Solar Power, LLC.
