Koolbridge Solar has a “Smart Load Center” where each individual breaker decides whether to use the electric or solar grid to save energy and money. The company has signed a five-year deal with North Carolina’s Clean Technology Energy Center.

Of the amount raised, $258,000 will go to executive salary. Of that, $84,000 will go to board chairman Burnett, $84,000 to director Dent, $60,000 to chief legal officer and director Johnston, $24,000 to Chief Executive Officer Griffin and $6,000 to Chief Financial Officer Belts for the first year.
