We started Segue to Solar Online Store to both promote solar and to support consumers who want to get more solar in their everyday life (before going the whole-house grid-tied route).

We use part of our profits to support non-profit groups like you will see throughout our web pages (just click on "About Us" on our website.) and to maintain the website. Staying with products from U.S. helps to keep products of the best quality and prices low.

We only offer new products, from high quality U. S. companies - all complete with warranties and technical support. We feel it is important to use all products you see on the website at our office first, to better tell you how they work, and of course, to help keep more of our dwindling natural resources.

Here is a short list of our products: accent lights solar backpacks and book bags (for charging batteries) solar chargers of all types lighted address signsr solar water fountains backup solar generator motion-detector lights solar lights, flashlights educational-toys, science and model kits DVDs, posters, books.

The concept behind Segue to Solar was actually born as a result of the infamous electrical power outages in California back in 2000. During the frequent brownouts the company co-founders began to question why alternative energy sources, like solar and wind generation, weren't utilized by local energy companies.

Did the utilities really need to inconvenience millions of people in the stifling summer heat? The outages hit their area again, and by this time the co-founders were ready. They had researched ways to use solar to keep cool despite the power company. In addition to their support of organizations such as the Sierra Club, and National Resource Defense Council, they joined the American Solar Energy Society and subscribed to Home Power magazine.
