It's Here! The Long-Awaited Battery Backup System
Just in time for the holidays and the winter storm season:  We're excited to now offer  the long-awaited  sonnenBatterie  battery backup solar power system. Never worry about losing power again. This small and attractive battery system is a critical addition to ensure power reliability, no matter what type of storm or issue arises. The battery features a unique power detection system that senses outages in real-time and will automatically switch over to battery power.

The sonnenBatterie is a 24/7 home energy storage solution that uses intelligent software to manage the energy needs of your home, every minute of every day, season after season. Practically speaking, this means that you're not only covered throughout the day, but you're also able to use your solar power at night too. And should a power outage occur, sonnenBatterie  has the capacity to keep you humming along even during extended grid failures.

In addition, the program is user-friendly; with the downloadable sonnenApp, you're able to check your energy usage and production anytime and from anywhere. You can, therefore, monitor, analyze and take control from your smartphone or tablet as much or as little as you like.

Sunrise Success: $0
Solar for Synagogues: Temple Israel of Northern Westchester Receives $0 Electric Bills!

Temple Israel of Northern Westchester, located in Croton on Hudson, NY  is now generating 100% of its power needs with its new roof-top solar energy system, designed and installed by  Sunrise Solar  featuring 188 solar panels. It's expected to generate 70,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year -- and is projected to save the Temple $317,000 over 25 years!

"Our decision to switch to solar energy is not only the right, green thing to do and good for the environment and our community -- there's also a positive financial impact," says Temple Israel of Northern Westchester Board President Glen Wolland. "Our solar array not only generates 100 percent of our power, we're now banking power in the summer months as well."

Inspire & Install - Education is Key to Our Business
Solar is our passion and our business. We love what we do each day and strive to make a critical impact on improving the environment. This includes reaching out to today's youth to provide them with the tools and learning that will enable them to respond to global warming and our ever-emerging green economy. That's why in  addition to installing a 284-panel solar array on the rooftop of the Hendrick Hudson Free Libray in Montrose, NY, Sunrise also created a visually-exciting educational solar display for the multimedia kiosk in the library's Children's Room to  educate the children about renewable energy and its importance to the future of our earth.   

The new solar installation is now on track to produce 84 percent of site energy. And, a ccording to Hendrick Hudson Free Library Director Jill Davis, the library's first electric bill has already decreased by $600 in just three weeks!

"We loved the idea of getting our youngest patrons involved with solar," says Hendrick Hudson Library Director Jill Davis. "We're certainly very happy to be saving money with the new installation, but our goal is also for children to be able to see it in action, ask questions and understand what solar is all about."

With easy-to-read type and colorful graphics, Sunrise created a large screen display that would be visually appealing to children and would best illustrate how solar panels collect energy and can power a building. In addition, we featured the number of kilowatt-hours of power currently produced by the library and how that can help the environment.
 
According to Sunrise CEO Doug Hertz: "Kids that learn about solar energy now will be in a much better position to make the right energy choices when they get older. We aim to inspire & install solar throughout Westchester and the tri-state area -- and that includes paving the way with educational programs and useful information on clean energy that will inspire young visionaries in sustainability."
