Precut Numbered Kit Solar Homes Design Manufacturer For Sale

Business description

This business is based on a new form of pollution-free energy discovered by its founder and owner. This award-winning invention has been featured in Popular Science, TIME, and other magazines, on TV documentaries, and in college textbooks. Raw material is abundant, 100% renewable, and low in cost. Mark-up is high but the product is now hand-crafted and labor-intensive, limiting output and market. The owner wishes to sell or find investment to move to computer-controlled mass production. Site is 14.5 acres on the East coast’s number 1 highway, with two buildings- one is 30,000 square feet designed by an industrial engineer for the CNC mass-production. The building’s radiant-floor heat is now by bio-energy, and a massive solar panel array is under construction. The company is an established early leader in the new lucrative Green industry.
Over 22 years this company has perfected a system for building houses that heat themselves in winter using the thermal properties of the structure, and solar energy. This happens naturally without fuel, a furnace, or even electricity- allowing the house to function during blackouts, hurricanes, earthquakes, and ice storms. The same house can be shifted into Summer mode, to self-cool using the coolness of the earth under it. The concept has been adapted to differing climates, and homes are functioning in 25 states. The heat/cool technology is mature, so of late the company has been focusing on off-the-grid, green homes that make their own electricity, and sell some power back to the grid for income, as well as charge an electric car for local transportation. The sunspace can be used to grow food, and the roof can collect enough rainwater for domestic needs. The company has also developed technology for earthquake, and hurricane-resistant homes that can be marketed once mass-production is in place.
The company has 29 pre-engineered models described in its catalog and website. These can be altered, and adapted for differing climate zones. The basic concept can also be used for custom homes designed specifically around the buyers requirements. The basic building component can be used for all types of structures, commercial and/or multi-family, up to five stories. The product is perfect for export- it packs tightly unlike panelized housing- but the current management has not pursued this market. The company offers training for builders, dealers, and agencies desiring to try the innovative new system- which in 1999 was named the The Most Innovative Structure of the Twentieth Century. For someone wanting to enter the relatively new Solar Cleantech Green industry, currently the only American industry not viewed as hostile by the government, this is the perfect opportunity.

Other information

Expansion potential:

By installing a CNC house-cutting machine production can be increased 30 times with few additional employees. Selling price can be reduced while still retaining a 100% markup in an industry that averages 10-15%. The product can be advertised nationally, and new Builder/Dealers signed up- made possible by the increased production. Salesmen can then approach developers, and government projects, that need large numbers of homes delivered fast.
