NOVA CABLE ACTIVATES FIRST COMMERCIAL SOLAR NET METERING SYSTEM IN AREA.
Nova Cable’s new 5 KW solar panel system to provide sufficient electrical requirements during work hours and the ability to sell excess electricity back to Consumers Power.
Nova Cable Management Inc. located in Grand Haven, Michigan, recently activated its new 5 KW Mitsubishi solar panel system. The 30-panel system is mounted on the roof of the company’s warehouse located at 905 South Mission in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. The system will be used to offset the building’s electrical costs using renewable green power. In addition, the system is tied to the Consumers Power grid so that when electrical use is low and the solar output is high, Nova will be able to sell its green electrical power back to Consumers.
The system was installed by Nova personnel, local electric contractor Laser Electric, S.U.R. Energy Systems L.C. of Ann Arbor and outside meters by Consumers Power.
Nova plans to use the model as a test subject for future commercial systems. In addition to producing its own power, Nova will receive a 30% tax credit as part of the Federal Solar Tax Credit. Additional benefits include income from the Michigan Renewable Energy Exchange, the benefits of having a shaded roof, added real estate value, as well as a fixed electricity cost for the next 25 years.
Additionally, this project could combine well with the new Michigan House Bill #5218 introduced by Kathleen Law outlined in the “Michigan Renewable Energy Sources Act.” If adopted, this Act would provide revenue back to energy conscious businesses. The aforementioned project would receive $0.65 per kilowatt hour for excess energy output according to this new bill.
If you would like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with any of the participants please email or call Gary Van Volkenburg.

Metamora Group | Buy RECs
-
When you buy RECs, you:
- Help clean the air by offsetting harmful emissions from conventional power plants
- Support renewable energy development, which benefits the economy, and
- Invest in renewable energy, which bolsters domestic energy security.
We have many opportunities throughout our daily life to give back to the environment. As we practice the Three R's (reduce, reuse, recycle), we would like to point out the fourth R: renewable. Buy renewable energy certificates:
For Your Home This is a purchase you feel good about. For as little as $15 per month, you can offset the carbon footprint for your entire household*. Double that and now you may have the same effect as taking your automobiles off the roads**. Add RECs to your energy conservation efforts at home and now you are really expanding your positive impact. You can even give BlueLeaf Wind™ or BlueLeaf Solar™ certificates as creative gifts for birthdays, holidays or special occasions.
For Your School From daycares to universities, educational institutions are teaching students about the importance of renewable energy. Classes may sponsor REC purchases, schools may offset their daily energy use, or teachers may use RECs as awards for exceptional performance.
For Your Team Did you know the New England Patriots invest in wind-generated RECs to match the Gillette Stadium’s electricity use before, during and after all home games? This is only one example of how teams across the world are proving themselves environmental stewards. With your REC investment, your team can offset its activities and travel as well as provide a great example of leadership, even in the off-season.
For Your Organization Whether you are a non-profit or for-profit, purchasing RECs is easy and socially responsible. When you sponsor RECs, you offset your daily carbon footprint as you focus your energies on achieving your goals. You may also want to purchase RECs to offset your next event, trade show or mixer--a fun way to show you care about the environment.
For Your Township, City, County or State Agency The mission for all government agencies is public service. Municipalities all over are taking on the challenge of leading their constituents to energy conservation and environmental awareness and many are choosing RECs as a vehicle. Purchase RECs to offset motor pools, public transit authorities, or other forms of daily operation and set the example.
For Your Company Give BlueLeaf Wind™ or BlueLeaf Solar™ certificates as thoughtful gifts to the customer of the month or as employee appreciation awards. Display the handsome certificates in your waiting room or lobby to show your support for the environment and to encourage others. Join Intel, Steelcase, Macy's, PepsiCo, Wells Fargo, Timberland and many others in REC sponsorship and let your customers and community know you believe in investing in 100% renewable energy.

Yes, I want to buy RECs for my home, team, school, organization or company!
(* Most households consume between 1,000 and 1,400 kwh of conventional energy each month.) (** Obviously, this depends on what you drive and how far. If you pilot a helicopter or plane hundreds of miles each day, you may need to invest a little more!)

Metamora Group | Why Buy RECs
-
Why Buy RECs from the Metamora Group?
Purchasing BlueLeaf Wind™ or BlueLeaf Solar™ is an easy and affordable way of offsetting your conventional energy consumption. RECs can vary by resource type (wind, solar, biomass, etc), area of origin, and year of origination. When you buy Metamora Group REC plans, you don't have to wonder about your RECs expiration dates, the credibility of the green power supplier, or whether your RECs will meet your state’s renewable portfolio regulations for mandatory compliance. We take care of all that for you.
Certified 100% Renewable Energy, Every Time
The Metamora Group only buys renewable energy certificates from certified renewable energy suppliers across the U.S., ensuring RECs are always verified and properly tracked. Certifying agencies may be the individual states where the RECs are generated or by third-party certification organizations such as Green-e, Environmental Resources Trust's EcoPower Program, and The Climate Neutral Network. Finally, our RECs are assigned unique ID numbers for each 1,000 kWh produced, so you know your purchase will never be double-counted.
