The Pronto Power advantage

Pronto Power also offers hybrid generators with Combined Heat and Power systems (CHP) to obtain the highest possible fuel / energy conversion efficiency (up to 90%).

Uses for Pronto Power hybrid generators include homes, portable buildings, businesses, emergency centers, commercial vessels, pleasure vessels, RV's, busses, and highway trucks.

Pronto Power offers generators that can operate on diesel, gasoline, propane, or natural gas fuels. We can also provide specialty power units capable of operating on renewable fuels such as biomass, waste cooking oil, and gas from sewer, septic, animal manure, and landfills.

Here are some reasons why you should consider a Pronto Power CHP system:

Traditionally electricity is produced at large power stations then distributed through a vast grid of wires. This is an inefficient system because it wastes fuel / heat when the power is created. Transmission losses add to power plant inefficiency. Because power plants are not located near the end user, 15% or more of the energy generated can be lost in the transmission and transformation process. On average less than 30% of the energy contained in the fuel used by the power plant actually makes it to the end user.

Experts warn that existing power plant capacities and distribution infrastructure are inadequate for societies growing power demands.

Having a continuous source of reliable electrical power is important. Just about everything around us depends on having reliable electrical power. Computers, lighting, heating and air conditioning systems. These days, businesses shut down and houses get cold, when the power goes out.

Attempts are being made to augment to grid with solar, wind and hydro power, but still over 70% of our nations energy is generated by burning fossil fuels. Several studies show that the national fuel consumption in the USA could be reduced by up to 40% if CHP systems were used to generate the majority of our electrical power. Lowering our fuel consumption reduces emission of greenhouse gasses and reduces our dependence on foreign oil.

Energy markets are changing. Utilities no longer provide the traditional level of service and charges to connect to the grid can often be extreme. Onsite systems are much less vulnerable to events like terrorism and weather related disasters.

Our solution:

Pronto Powers CHP systems can utilize up to 90% of the energy contained in the fuel they consume. That's more than 60% increase in fuel utilization over grid provided power.

Because Pronto Power systems use DC to AC inverters they are easily combined with solar and wind power systems for even higher efficiencies.

Pronto Power CHP systems offer advantages in the areas of reduced energy cost, reliability, fewer emissions and independence from large power producers.

Industrial complexes, businesses, and individual homes can save money by having their own electrical generators.

Onsite CHP Systems are especially attractive in remote locations where the costs to connect to the utility often exceeds the purchase cost of an onsite CHP system.
