Environmental Concerns Keep Global Attention Focused on Renewable Energy
The growing concern over climate change and the environment has even prompted government regulators to explore renewable energy sources.
NEW YORK, April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Non-renewable energy sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas have been increasingly damaging the environment due to their constant use. They impact the environment negatively, as they are responsible, to some degree, for adverse effects such as air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife damage, and global warming emissions. The growing concern over climate change and the environment has even prompted government regulators to explore renewable energy sources. Primarily, renewable solutions such as wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal are becoming popular because they cause significantly less harm than non-renewable sources. Generally, companies developing renewable energy harness power from naturally occurring sources and store it within power solutions. These solutions can provide power to homes, businesses, and even towns or cities on a large scale. For instance, solar panels collect power from drawing energy from the sun and can then store the energy and allow for continuous use regardless if the sun is overshadowed by a cloudy day. Consumers are also beginning to become more aware of the growing concerns over non-renewable resources, prompting them to switch to renewable alternatives. In addition, the increasing awareness of environmental safety and sustainability are also further propelling the use of renewable energy sources. According to data compiled by Allied Market Research, the global renewable energy market was valued at USD 1.46 Trillion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 2.15 Trillion by 2025. Additionally, the market is expected to witness a CAGR of 4.9% throughout the forecast period from 2017 to 2025. Triad Pro Innovators, Inc.

The hydro and ocean power segment accounted for 63% of the market share in 2017 and is expected to hold the largest share until 2025. However, the solar energy segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR, registering 13.4% during the same period. Largely, the solar energy segment is becoming popular because it is much easier to install in areas where water or wind isn't always common. On the other hand, the use of wind power is also popular because it is the cleanest and most sustainable way to generate electricity, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists, as wind power doesn't emit toxic pollution or greenhouse emissions. Now, regardless of the source of energy, countries are gradually adopting renewable energy legislation because of the Paris Climate Agreement. The Paris Agreement is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change intended to deal with climate control beginning in 2020. The Agreement's goal is to keep global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius this century and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase further by 1.5 degrees Celsius. Countries that are participating in the agreement are working collectively to reverse the negative impacts caused by the use of non-renewable resources. "It is also clear from the many, many comments by world leaders from China to India and Europe to Latin America and the Pacific that nations everywhere are standing shoulder to shoulder in their determination to achieve the Paris Agreement and move forward as one," said Nick Nuttall, Spokesperson of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, "Why? Because it is in everyone's national interest, it is not a straight-jacket but a flexible framework, it offers a road map to a more prosperous, healthier and job generating future and it can assist in avoiding risks to lives, livelihoods and our shared human existence."
Triad Pro Innovators, Inc. (OTC: TPII) yesterday announced breaking news that, "Powered by the Triad Pro eCell & motor array, the SPREE (Solar Powered Renewable Electric Energy) golf car will redefine the economics of how golf carts operate. Paying monthly utility bills, to recharge batteries can be greatly reduced or eliminated as SPREE will continuously top off its charge by utilizing a solar panel embedded in the roof.
Global consumption of golf carts is anticipated to exceed 225,000 units in 2023, in a multi-billion dollar industry, valued at U.S. $2,300,000,000, of which 41% will be in the North American market. Triad Pro projects attaining approximately $70,000,000 worldwide sales of traditional golf and people mover vehicles, by the end of its third production year. This dynamic growth is due to the advantages of utilizing solar power.
With the Triad-Pro eCell installed, the SPREE golf car can run the distance of, at least, an entire round of golf, drawing its charge from, the sun. On cloudy days, it can be fully re-charged in less than 1 hour on a regular 110V outlet. Most golf carts today are powered by lead acid or lithium batteries, which normally take 5 – 8 hours to fully recharge. SPREE requires no monthly maintenance and can save commercial fleet owners thousands of dollars of electrical cost. Additionally, SPREE will be delivered with a 10 year warranty on the eCell and a 1 year bumper to bumper warranty.
Because of lower maintenance and operating costs the solar powered golf cart segment of the global golf cart market is anticipated to grow at a faster rate than other electric and internal combustion models. In addition to the demand provided by golf courses, urbanization and industrialization in other countries is expected to drive the demand for local transportation to carry people and goods.
