New Dual-Purpose, CoolPV Solar Panels Raised $195k During 1st Week on Wefunder’s Equity Crowdfunding Website

Just as a radiator uses water to cool a car engine while driving, CoolPV solar panels transfer heat to water, which cools them down and makes the solar PV cells much more efficient at turning the sun’s energy into free, clean electricity

Chico, California – FAFCO Inc., a leading solar thermal manufacturing company that’s been creating innovative products since 1969, last week announced the launch of the company’s first equity crowdfunding campaign that is selling equity shares in the company to both accredited and non-accredited investors for investments starting at $500.

CoolPV generates up to four times the power of PV alone and can convert 60% of the sun’s energy into usable power compared to approximately 20% for PV alone

CoolPV is an enhanced solar electric panel that generates electricity and heats water using the same panel on the same valuable solar roof space. Including the thermal energy, CoolPV generates up to four times the power of PV alone and can convert 60% of the sun’s energy into usable power compared to approximately 20% for PV alone. For the past eighteen months, customers across the U.S. have used CoolPV to heat their pools and power their homes.

CoolPV Delivers up to 4x the Power of Stand Alone Solar Panels

Swimming pools are just a start. Over 33% of the energy used in the US is directly consumed for heating water and spaces. Nine million water heaters are replaced in the US every year. There are many other commercial and industrial applications where CoolPV can be used to offset a significant portion of the energy we use in the US for heating fluids.

“After more than ten years of development, we were finally able to combine a PV module with one of our engineered polymer heat exchangers and create a commercially viable combined solar thermal and solar electric panel. In addition to heating their pools, the electric power generated by the solar panels in CoolPV can reduce a customer’s electrical bill by 50% or more,” said Freeman Ford, FAFCO’s Chairman. “Now accredited and non-accredited investors can invest in the solar industry’s latest innovation and help us expand our extensive dealer network that we’ve built over the past 47 years.”

FAFCO’s CoolPV crowdfunding campaign has great timing as more and more investors are seeking to invest venture capital into the solar, wind and the renewable energy sector, which set new records for annual capacity being added, number of new investors entering the marketplace and the amount of investment dollars, which exceeded $280 billion. In addition, $12.8 billion was invested publicly traded renewable energy companies during 2015.
