About Us: Our 5 Divisions
Our goal at WCGES is to offer you the most cost effective green energy solutions with the highest return on investment.
WCGES is in the quickly growing environmental industry. We have 5 Divisions.
WE:
- Provide Free energy efficiency audits and install energy efficiency products.
- Convert businesses and homes to a natural gas supplier which saves you on average 10% in your natural gas costs with no change in your present service.
- Sell and install solar panels and radiant barriers ( a NASA technology.) We offer a better warranty and use more reliable equipment.
We can show the math of your investment.
- Work with inventors and commercialize their patented technologies that offer great energy savings and a very high ROI. This primarily takes the form of our doing the market research, and creating and implementing both a sales and marketing strategy. We are so confident of our abilities that if we choose to take on your product our compensation is 100% performance based. You have no upfront marketing or sales costs.

We sell an online mortgage acceleration software program called mortgageenergizer.com. Our software will allow you to save many years on your mortgage and tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in mortgage interest. We often combine mortgage energizer with our WCGES products and solutions so that we can create unique and compelling value for you. It is tragic but true, what most North Americans believe to be true about paying off their mortgage makes the bank rich and costs them a large part of their retirement. We passionately believe in empowering people to create a better and less stressful World and Life by being both green and working smarter. Our online software can transform your retirement and those that you love. Once you understand what value mortgageenergizer.com, provides you will want to be a client and that is why we provide a full-featured FREE 30 day trial version.
WHY YOU WANT TO WORK WITH US:
- We offer the best available financing for solar. For example, on solar PV we offer financing up to $4 million on commercial and on residential you can owe as much as your home is worth and WE CAN STILL GET YOU financed for $50,000 of our solar panels. This is because the loan is secured against our solar panels and not your home. Because of government and utility incentives you can pay as low as 20% of actual installation costs with a break even point of less than 3 years.
- We develop our own web server based software, videos, and online school, making it easier and more convenient for both our sales agents and our clients to get the best and most up to date information relevant to each person's individual situation.
- We know what the return on investments are for a comprehensive range of green energy solutions and are very candid about which options provide you the most return and which do not. We even have an online calculator that can quantify the value of a technology for you.
- As we are not beholden to any particular company we can more easily tell you the truth and we are acknowledged as better teachers about the overlooked economic benefits of going green.
- We prefer to use solar panels made by large public companies that have a solar division. If their solar division were to ever close your 25 year warranty will still be worth something since the rest of the company will continue to survive. This is very important as it is predicted most solar companies will not be in business in 10 years as industry changes occur.
Utility companies give you . . .
1.) A cash rebate of $1 to $4 per Watt of the rated energy production capacity of your Solar System. This comes right off your bill.
Federal government gives you . . .
2.) A TAX CREDIT for the costs of a residential solar or wind system.
|
Residential Incentives
Assume a 5 kilowatt Solar system costing $35,000
|
|
Your utility company will pay you $1.10 to $4.00 per watt depending upon which utility company you have.
|
|
Federal government enables you to claim a 30% tax credit on the total cost of installing a solar or wind system. This applies to all of your residences in the USA.
|
|
|
You actually only pay 24% of the total solar system cost since 76% is paid by a combination of a i) rebate, ii) tax credit and iii) 1st year utility savings.
It is 24% since $8,402 (net cost) / $35,000 (gross cost) = 24%
What is your Payback time if you switch to a solar system?
$10,552 / $2,150 = 4.9 years to break even.

Federal government will . . .
1a.) Pay within 60 days 30% of the total costs of a commercial solar or wind system as a CASH GRANT. 100 kW limit to the size of your wind or solar system.
1b.) Allow business to take 50% Bonus Depreciation in Year 1.
You depreciate the remaining 50% over the next 4 years. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE PROPERTIES YOU CAN USE these as MANY TIMES as you like.
Utility companies will . . .
1c.) Pay $1.10 to $2.50 per Watt of the rated energy production capacity of your Solar System.
|
Commerical Incentives
Assume 30 kilo Watt System Costing $200,000
|
|
|
Federal government pays 30% of the total cost as a CASH GRANT in 60 days. Your wind or solar system can be as large as 100 kilowatts.
|
|
|
Federal government provides a 50% Bonus Depreciation in Year 1. You can depreciate the remaining 50% over the next 4 years.
|
|
Utility companies generally pay $1.10 to $2.50 per watt of the rated energy production capacity of your Solar or Wind system.
|
|
|
-
If $1.10 per watt then $87,000 - $12,000 = $ 75,000 net cost.
We FINANCE that $75,000 which is 37.5% of the original $200,000 cost.
- If 2.50 per watt then $45,000 - $12,000 = $ 33,000 net cost.
We FINANCE that $33,000 which is 16.5% of the original $200,000 cost.
Your Break Even is $45,000 (net cost) / $12,000 (annual savings) = 3.75years.
If you factor in utility rate increases AND the remaining 50% depreciation in the next 4 years your break even would occur quicker.

The 5 Divisions of West Coast Green Energy Solutions are:
- We offer a free energy audit. In this audit, we show you areas for potential energy savings and their associated incentives. The focus is on the highest return on investment for you.
-
Energy Efficiency covers a wide range of products all of which offer you a great return on investment and a quick break even. When we combine energy efficiency products with solar you save two or more years on your break even.
Installing solar without FIRST doing energy efficiency generally will cost you at least several additional thousands of dollars.
- We sell and install residential and commercial solar pv systems that qualify for many government and utility incentives. We also combine this with energy efficiency products to improve your beak even and return on investment. As a result you achieve the same energy savings at a lower cost than if you had ONLY used solar panels. This improves your Return on Investment and Break-Even.
- Our major focus is working with inventors who have been issued a patent that results in energy or water savings. We do it all - from the initial marketing research to creating and implementing a marketing and sales system. We also educate America's 400 + utility companies about the relative merits and benefits of the inventor's new technology. We provide this service only to qualified energy technologies with no upfront fees or costs to the inventor and we do it on a 100% performanced based approach. Our related sales channels are designed for private sector, government and international sales.

We are completing the mandatory one year testing to manufacturer and install urban rooftop wind turbines. Our initial design is a variation on the proven Lenz 2 design. In windy areas, wind turbines are a better value than solar panels. In most of California, the utility company incentive for small wind is more than two times better than solar panels.
Below is a picture of our actual Lenz 2 wind turbine. Think of our vertical wind turbines as dynamic sculpture that we will custom paint in colors ranging from Bright Red to Canary Yellow. A geek cannot buy a better conversation piece to combine with his solar system.
