SUNRNR's local dealer, Virginia Sun Power, exhibited at Harrisonburg's Green Innovations Tour, solar-powering an electric motorcycle.

It’s “Saving Daylight Time” at SUNRNR!  Purchase a SUN110 and/or SUNPWR portable solar generator energy system and get the second solar panel FREE!

Starting at 2am Sun, March 11, 2012 in honor of Daylight Savings Time, SUNRNR of Virginia, Inc will help you save daylight by including the additional solar panel option (a $550 value) for free with each purchase of a SUN110 or SUNPWR portable solar generator energy system.  It is our way of welcoming Spring while also encouraging preparedness for its related severe weather.  (Since SUN220s and SUN240s already come standard with two panels, their daylight savings special will be a 5% discount.)  Offer ends on Earth Day, Sun, April 22, 2012. 

You may order from the manufacturer by calling 540-271-3403 and mentioning code “DST”.  However, you will likely find a better price and a similar offer through your regional dealer - visit http://www.sunrnr.com/Distributors.html and click nearest marker on map.  Check out SUNRNR specifications and learn why 3500W is better than 1800W, what 2000+Whrs stored means, and how SUNRNR is the best Watts-per-dollar and most useful portable solar electric system available.  New dealer applications welcome. 

We continue to add new SUNRNR portable renewable energy generator dealers and distributors.  Now available in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Ontario.  Visit http://www.sunrnr.com/Distributors.html to find one near you!

Our New Orleans distributor, Fineout Solar, is representing SUNRNR at the International Disaster Conference and Expo Jan 17-19, 2012.

Two Discounts - $20 and 12%

In honor of the coming year 2012, SUNRNR of Virginia, Inc is offering a factory-direct sales event for orders placed this week.  First, $20 will be subtracted, then 12% will be taken off the balance.  For example, a SUN110 at $3800 MSRP with an additional solar panel ($550) would be just $3810. Offer good through noon Sat Dec 31, 2011. Offer valid only at SUNRNR of Virginia, Inc.  Call 540-271-3403 to order. Purchase of two or more units during this offer receives straight 15% discount. Discounts do not apply to shipping. (It's only about half again as much to ship two units as it is to ship one, so consider buying a second unit like a SUNPWR power module or other unit model or pair up with a friend or family member for purchase.) The 30% residential tax credit still applies through 2016, but it looks like the commercial-use cash back incentive ends this year.  Visit the Tax Incentives page on www.sunrnr.com for more. Other news and notes: Supply-chain issues have been resolved and the SUN240 "Well Pump" model is available and popular! All models available as pure sine (more expensive). Let Consumer Reports know you'd like a Portable Solar Generator Comparison (including SUNRNR) - we'd welcome the review. (Remember, you may always unsubscribe below.)

We had a terrific day at the STAR-TIDES (Sharing to Accelerate Research - Transformative Innovation for Development and Emergency Support) Fall Field Demonstration.  Visit our Events page or their website for photos, participants, resources, etc.

We would love to help out and take pics/video; we use it almost daily to power the fridge and washing machine. All laundry is done via the unit; we just did 3 loads today. I can't remember if I told Scott that I tested the unit and it powers the well pump! We had an outage a few weeks back and I had just finished mowing and needed to shower so I plugged in the pump and it turned on, which was cool.
