Restaurants have new solutions
Restaurants have powerful tools to get patrons in the door
The release of their new software makes it possible to avoid spammy applications, shotgun approach print or media advertising. By combining the power of one to one data collection from social media outlets and sms messaging systems that collect users emails and phone numbers, patrons of bars and restaurants can connect together like never before. If you want to follow a local band, author or order a cup of joe or just tell friends about a cool place to have a beer or cup of coffee. The mobile pro apps that restaurants, bars and cafes can easily implement make it possible with the intelligent use of data.

Mercury Solar In the News
Solar energy news: A look back to last week [Clean Energy Authority]
(Tue Feb 28 00:00:00 EST 2012)
President's Day was last week, making it a short work week for most, but that really didn't seem to slow down the world of solar. Many companies announced new deals, some for projects and some with mergers starting to occur. It shows that even without some of the governmental support solar had in recent years, its still not ready to slow down. Mid-American Energy Holdings issued what may be the first bonds to support a utility-scale project when it issued $850 million in bonds to support its Topaz Solar Farm. Bonds for the 550 megawatt project were well-received. Requests for the BBB+-rated bonds were exceeded the amount of bonds offered. It could be a sign that more projects could issue such bonds in the future. In Vermont the potential merger of two power companies, Central Vermont Public Service and Green Mountain Power could mean more solar. If the merger is successful, Central Vermont customers could see a $21 million investment in solar, renewable energy and energy efficiency inv...

Sun Run leases the panels and funds all the installation work and maintenance and works with Standard Solar, Inc. and Greenspring Energy, Inc. in Maryland as the installers. I think the average system installation for a home runs around $28k and works out to about $227/mo over 30 yrs and you probably eliminate your power bill, but I'm not sure about in the summer when the Central AC is running full time, and my normal PEPCO bill is around $300/mo during the summer months. But I am also hearing about Solar City with their radio spots everywhere which claim to really make it even more affordable and they seem to be the industry leader in the US. I've also heard about Mercury Solar which is a NY based company doing good work up in MA where my old boss my old employer now works.
I do know about the utility companies and their subsidiary companies or affiliates like Washington Gas Energy Services which has installed a solar system for Purdue Farms using Standard Solar, Inc. to do the installation, but there seems that there are a lot of choices out there in addion to the utility company offerings.
Here's the video from Purdue:
Washington Gas Energy Services offeres Renewable Energy Credits that can be purchased through the utility provider bill as a flat kwh additional rate of about another penny and a half over the standard offered service rate. When you break down a typical utility bill for electricity it seems to come down to suppliers with transmission and taxes bundled in to cost around $0.11 to $0.13 per Kilowatt Hour ussed and seems to be the same with all of them (give or take a few cents depending on the utility provider). There are a myriad of wholesale energy suppliers that generate at the wholesale level from TX for example and transmit up to wherever and even offer to provide some kind of Renewable Energy Credit to get you under contract for a fixed term, but there is really not anyone offering any stand alone energy choices that seem to be cost effective alternatives. I am on a quest to research and publish the choices I come across before I shell out of pocket on installation of a solar project, or enter into any long term contracts with wholesale suppliers.
