Investment Opportunity
We manufacture automatic self regulating PV electricity generators, with integrated water pumping and purification. We require funding to scale production.
Executive Summary
The Company designs, manufactures, and distributes solar powered electrical generators and water pumping and purification systems. Our devices are ideal for emergency electrical backup, developing countries, remote construction, outdoor music and sporting events, agricultural irrigation, and many other applications. Our products require no set-up, are portable, operate in complete silence, require no refuelling, and are completely free of emissions. We apply innovative designs that use commercially available components to construct highly reliable power and water delivery systems for the twenty-first century.
The need for clean, decentralized power generation and water purification is of paramount importance in the coming decades. Growing concern with global climate change, a worldwide epidemic of waterborne diseases, disturbing increases in atmospheric carbon gases and other poisonous materials, increasingly unreliable power grids and expanding public interest in sustainable business practices have lead us to the conclusion that the time is perfect for our devices.
The Company provides wholesale distribution of our products to federal emergency aid and military agencies, non-governmental organizations, construction companies, rental equipment providers, home improvement retailers, and farm equipment suppliers. Our product design is completed for manufacturability and a patent has been filed on key aspects of our technology. The company has sold half-a-dozen products to users throughout the U.S. and Southeast Asia and is aggressively marketing the devices to target customer segments.
According to MindBranch research, in the U.S. alone, shipments of consumer generators grew over 20% annually from $280 million in 2002 to over $700 million in 2006. Portable and standby generator products are expected to continue this growth rate and total more than $1.7 billion in sales by 2011. In addition, political and economic trends surrounding clean technology including tax incentives, subsidy programs for alternative energy systems, and emerging carbon markets creates a highly attractive environment for the growth of our specialty clean-power products.
Our products have been perfected over a three-year period of prototype field-testing which has verified the practicality and robust capabilities of our innovative systems. We attempt to source components from leading suppliers who are committed to sustainable design and manufacturing practices, and we incorporate a philosophy of cradle-to-cradle reuse of our products and components where possible. We also offer customer-leasing options and intend to work with international micro-financing organizations to help make our devices available to developing countries.
While a number of competitors have recently appeared, we believe our proprietary feature set, innovative design philosophy, speed-to-market leadership and business experience will allow us to establish market leadership and build substantial enterprise value in a short period of time. Additionally, we continue to develop new products and have a robust roadmap of significantly higher capacity power devices and water pumping, purification, and desalination systems.
Our business model is simple: We design and market branded, portable power generation and water purification devices. We have secured prospective contract manufacturing partners in Southeast Asia and the U.S.
Competitive Advantage
Patent pending, and engineering focus on design for manufacturability. We are coordinated with specialized manufacturers in the USA, and Singapore- Carolina Growler Inc; Sienna Manufacturing (USA) and CEI Inc (Singapore).
We are coordinated with key distribution partners for Asia, East Africa, and USA. Our advantage is both patent protected, and trade secret derived from over 6 years of building our unique and innovative devices.

Use of financing
The investment is needed to scale production, create small inventory and deploy demonstration units. We have developed our company and product with private funds from initial partners. We are now prepared to initiate an equity round of investment. We are raising funds for the 3Q 2012 operation plan.
Opportunity for the investor
We are looking for a strategic investor that adds value in our distribution of the products. We are looking to raise funds through equity financing.
We believe the time is ideal for our solutions. We are at an unprecedented period in history where the convergence of capital, public policy, and public interest in environmentalism is driving demand for alternative energy and potable water solutions. Coyle Industries is introducing a vision, a product, and a plan that offers a unique and compelling solution to meet the needs of the times.
