J King Solar Technologies, LLC (“J King Solar”), a Michigan-based certified Minority Business Enterprise, designs and installs solar energy systems for commercial, residential and industrial properties. Mr. Jimmy King, former professional athlete and member of the University of Michigan Basketball’s acclaimed “Fab Five”, serves as President and CEO of the company.

We give our customers the opportunity to embrace green energy the smart way… by helping them reduce their carbon footprint, while simultaneously cutting utility costs; hedging against rising utility prices; and improving energy efficiency in their home and facilities. In addition, customers may be able to receive credit from utility providers for feeding excess solar power into the local electrical grid.

Statistics show that buildings use approximately 66% of electric energy in the United States. Many corporations have developed “green initiatives”, which often focus on LEED certified facilities. Nonetheless, it is well proven that the use of solar energy as an alternative energy source can significantly reduce operating costs, while providing substantial environmental and economic benefits with little to no negative side effects. Although the incorporation of solar technology in new or existing infrastructure may require an increase in initial capital costs over conventional technology, J King Solar identifies the positive cost-trade offs for its customers.

Going green is a smart business choice. As the welfare of the environment becomes increasingly important to your customers, investors and key stakeholders, it is an ideal time to show your company’s environmental leadership. Choosing an appropriate renewable energy source is important. If your company has a green initiative and/or is considering becoming a LEED certified facility, consider a photovoltaic or solar thermal system and take advantage of the following cost-effective and environmentally-friendly benefits:

•	Elimination of all or a substantial portion of your electricity and/or hot water and space heating expense.
•	Earning credits for any electricity generated in excess of your needs, resulting in greater cost savings, or even income.
•	State and federal incentive programs that often subsidize the installation costs of your solar system, significantly reducing the initial system investment and increasing the IRR.
•	Maintenance costs over the life of the system are minimal. Solar panels have an average 25 year manufacturer’s warranty and are expected to last up to 40 years and beyond.
•	Contribution to a reduced dependence on foreign oil.
•	Solar electric and solar hot water heating systems greatly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other substances released into the atmosphere that contribute substantially to global warming, climate change, water & soil contamination and major health risks including asthma and respiratory tract infections.

DID YOU KNOW…?
By avoiding the use of electricity created from fossil or nuclear fuels, you contribute to the health of the planet. A 2.5 Kilowatt solar energy system will save the production of 3,376 lbs of Carbon dioxide, 4 lbs of nitrogen oxides and 2 lbs of sulfur dioxide greenhouse gases annually.
