SunPortal Solar LED Lighting System
What is the SunPortal Solar LED Lighting System?:
- A revolutionary new all-in-one indoor solar lighting package. It includes its own solar panel, charge controller, battery, and light.
- A way to save the sun for later. Use the sun's light at night.
- Bright! Strong enough to read by.
- Electrician-free. This 12V direct-current system is simple and safe enough to install yourself.
- A step in the right direction. Lighting one room of your house won't solve all the world's problems, but it does help cut carbon dioxide emissions and support the development of renewable energy.
- Designed by a Cornell University engineering graduate.
Benefits of the SunPortal:
- The SunPortal is eligible for a 22.29% federal tax credit under the Credit for Residential Energy Efficient Property.
- Unaffected by power outages. You can use it when the grid fails.
The SunPortal Can:
Add value to a home, apartment, or condo. Including renewable energy can attract buyers/renters.
Light up a room anywhere: homes, cabins, lodges, RVs, boats, etc., with no power bill.
Be installed in about two hours.
Save wiring an entire wall in new construction.
Let you try out solar energy without spending a year's salary on it.
The SunPortal is a good product, but it can't work miracles. It can't run your whole house, or even just your dishwasher or stove (those run on alternating current and require too much power). What it can do is power its bright, super-efficient light for many hours a day.
