We’d like to thank the Academy…

We are honoured to have received the 2019 Award for the Most Pioneering Solar Tile Manufacturer from Corporate Vision Magazine.

“For many homeowners, one of the big disadvantages to using solar power is the aesthetic. They’re not exactly the most elegant looking device, and unfortunately, that can dissuade people from getting into renewable energy. However, Solarmass have developed the Ergosun Integrated Solar Roof Tile, a solarised concrete roof tile that is installed by everyday roofers. Without compromising on the beauty of a home, every family can get involved in making the most of the sun’s power.”

The Demand for Companies to Do Better

On September 19th, 2019 Amazon announced that it is going to hit its Paris Climate Accord commitments a decade early.

The speed of their progress is amazing.  The company is committed – its employees are driving a culture that insists that the company make progress. A big piece of their sustainability plan is to lean on electric delivery vehicles.  Amazon has placed an order for 100,000 delivery vans with EV start-up Rivian as a place holder to achieve the goal.

What is impressive about this change is that the pace is at least partly a result of the demands of the workforce. Amazon’s employees are demanding their company be a difference maker.  At a time when some governments are shying away from a focus on climate change, every day people are committed to reducing the impact of our society on the climate – evidenced by the recent climate change protests, including today’s global Climate Strike. 

It is refreshing for companies to accept that taking a stand on sustainability can be good for the business, for their employees and their culture and for the citizens of the world to say that they want change. 

With our integrated solar roof tile, we are committed to helping in the fight against climate change. By removing the barrier of unsightly solar panels while generating clean energy to power cars, electronics, lights, and even heat  pools, we are making solar more accessible to more people.  

Today and every day we are in the fight against climate change.

Milestone Reached: Renewables Top Coal in US Energy Production

For the first time in history, renewables have exceeded coal in energy production in the United States. With climate change top of mind for many today and more than 1,000,000 species threatened by extinction, reducing our carbon footprint has never been more critical. With our integrated solar roofing tile, Ergosun seeks to bring more customers on board by offering aesthetically pleasing options for solar power.

“The EIA sees renewable generation topping coal-fired output sporadically this year, and again in 2020. The estimates in the EIA outlook show renewable energy generating 2,322 and 2,271 thousand megawatt-hours (MWh/day) per day in April and May, respectively. This would top coal’s expected output of 1,997 and 2,239 thousand MWh/day during the same two months.”  – IEEFA U.S.: April is shaping up to be momentous in transition from coal to renewables.
