Level 3 charging is the fastest method of charging an electric vehicle and can recharge a battery up to 80% in 15-45 minutes. Level 3 charging takes place in commercial locations and supplies 50-350kw of direct current (DC) power directly to the battery and bypasses the EV’s limited onboard charger.
Producing much of the electricity we are selling our customers makes
us more environmentally friendly than our competition,
and increases our profits once construction costs are paid.
We will install DC chargers. While an AC charger can provide about 6-12 kWh of power, DC chargers can provide 50 to 150 kWh of power and are more attractive to people looking for a quick charge at a premium rate (usually around a $0.25 to $0.35 premium above typical base rates). This means you can earn as much as $800 per day for a popular DC charging station, assuming 20-30 cars per day.
Assuming 15 percent utilization—equivalent to about seven 30-minute
charging sessions per day—our hypothetical station would
generate $265,000 to $285,000 in annually.
According to recent estimates, the average income of a car wash
owner can vary widely depending on the type of car wash and its location.
For instance, one estimate for in-bay automatic car washes puts the
average car wash owner’s annual income at around $86,500.
16.01 Acres on 11th street $560,000, and the adjacent land 5.77 acres on 6th Street frontage Rd is also for sale for $210,000. Giving us a total of 21.78 acres of land for our first project development for a total of $770,000. Our goal is to produce more than 20 MW of electricity in less than 10 years. Solar, and what is referred as home wind, and other techniques will be used.
On average, a single megawatt of power can typically provide enough
electricity for around 800-1,000 homes in the United States. However,
this number can vary significantly based on local energy
consumption patterns and infrastructure efficiency.
We're not entirely sure this land is still available,
both lots comprised of almost 50 acres for $1.2 million
just adjacent to Franklin Park Neighborhood Subdivision.
If it is still available, we would turn this into a renewable energy community. Energy efficient homes utilizing, solar, battery storage, geothermal heating and cooling or electric heat pumps, tankless electric hot water heaters, and radiant heat in the floors, equipped with more solar than they actually need.
There are approximately 850 homes, and 110 light poles in the existing neighborhood. About 60% of the homes probably couldn't go solar
due to heavy shading. The majority of the poles could be used to attach a few solar panels and small wind turbines dotted throughout the neighborhood.
We would need to upgrade the park amenities to accommodate the expansion of the neighborhood. The current park doesn't offer that much in the way of entertainment for a majority of residents. There are already streets that come to a dead end that could be used to tie both neighborhoods together.
In our vision, the new neighborhood will consist of mostly
3 Bedroom/2 bath units. Even if this property is not available,
these fourplex units would be perfect for land inside any major city.
Level 3 charging is the fastest method of charging an electric vehicle and can recharge a battery up to 80% in 15-45 minutes. Level 3 charging takes place in commercial locations and supplies 50-350kw of direct current (DC) power directly to the battery and bypasses the EV’s limited onboard charger.
It doesn't look like much, but it's also super cheap. This little property could be a real gem. Commercially zoned 4.75-acre lot with approx. 170 feet of street frontage located at a high-traffic/high-visibility intersection of Route 9 and Route 24 in Peoria County with an approximate IDOT count of over 27,000 vehicles per day. Electrical at site. Flat, cleared and ready to develop.
According to industry estimates, the average annual revenue for a
car wash business can range from $41,000 per year for a small
self-serve car wash to $686,250 per year for a bigger luxury car wash.
The average profit margin for a car wash is around 35%, meaning
that a car wash business earning $100,000 in gross revenue
can expect a net profit of around $35,000.
Abuts I-57 On/Off ramp at exit 116. Ideal location in the ENTERPRISE ZONE on Salem's West side; Zoned B-4 Interchange Business District. Utilities on site.
West of Interstate 57 (Exit 116) on US Route 50 by Salem Illinois.
Centrally located between Effingham and St. Louis.
Great high traffic area for a Level 3 Fast Chargers with carwash/detail area. Healthy food option type restaurant selling our hydroponic and aquaponic grown food would give some of our rivals' some healthy competition too.
This area already serves several business customers. Infostructure should be
in place to produce electricity through solar and wind. Nice open area.
There are enough surrounding cities and towns that would make this a profitable location for an EV charging station and car wash.
We can also offer PPA contracts and install solar and/or small wind turbines on their property. Increasing our energy production and profit potential.
Farm for sale: This 242.3 farm is located in the south side of Chatham, Illinois. This is not your run of the mill farm ground. It has a water main and electric running approximately 1 mile from east to west. There is road frontage on 3 sides. It lays on the east side of the Chatham Park. It is in the Chatham School District, Fire District and has all Chatham Utilities.
When looking for an investment, it's all about the number 1 reason to invest in real estate. It's called" location, location, location", this farm has all those qualities in one package. Price is at $25,000.00 per acre. $6,050,000
It would be hard to run out of room for profit potential on this property.
Based on the assumption that the average
home is 2,500 square feet, you could build:
The number of duplexes per acre can vary depending on the type of
housing. Townhomes, duplexes, bungalows, rowhouses, and triplexes
all fit within the range of 23-26 dwellings per acre. These stacked fourplex units that should give us 46-52 dwellings per acre. Nice 3 bedrooms,
2 bath, 1 car garage stall, energy efficient family units.
Riverbank Bar and Grill is a turn-key business sitting perfectly off
the Illinois River and Florence Bridge. With an established name in
the area, the business boasts an impressive loyal customer base, and a
variety of food offerings and is located right off the river. They currently
offer a full menu for lunch and dinner along with a full bar.
It’s set up so we can continue the current operation or implement
our own business concept. With 4,288 sqft of restaurant/bar space,
including a covered outdoor patio seating area with a well-built stage, it also offers plenty of room for future expansion. The outdoor patio also features two heaters and can be enclosed with plastic in the winter to be used year-round.
Bar and grill owners in the U.S. typically make an average
annual income ranging from $50,000 to $150,000. The average
bar revenue is around $330,000 annually before expenses.
15 acres to expand a bed and breakfast, increasing potential
earnings approximately $100,000 to $300,000 per year.
Forty-seven acres(+/-) in Sangamon County (Riverton), IL. This hobby farm boasts 12 acres of timber with deer, turkey, and mushrooms. Has a barn and chicken coop. There is plenty of room for all your animals. Established hay and fenced pastures. A small orchard of apple, peach, pear, cherry, and plum trees.
The only thing this farm seems to be missing is solar panels and small wind turbines. Doesn't look like there is a pond, but a hydroponic or aquaponics
farm could easily be established on a property like this. There is
also, plenty of room on this property for solar and wind farming.
There are several properties available. However, we are competing in the
same market as BlackRock and other billionaire investors. They can offer large sums of money to lease land and buy it out-right. The community must ban together and do it quickly. Become a community investor today.
Let's start buying and developing property for our gain.
Consider this: a micro-hydroelectric turbine of just 500W will produce enough electricity through the year to meet the annual consumption of an energy-efficient home. 100 kW system could potentially power around 114 homes. (assuming all homes have the same energy consumption).
Incorporating micro hydroelectric will increase our energy production.
A typical 100kW hydro turbine power generator can generate up to 50mW power. That would be sufficient to power approximately 50,000 homes.
In addition to Hydroponics growing of fruits and vegetables, the plan would include Aquaponics. Growing fish and vegetable together. We plan to do everything in our power to grow heirloom seeds, no GMO. Hydroponics can produce up to 10 times more food per unit area than traditional farming.
Aquaponics systems can significantly increase crop yields. The
nutrient-rich water boosts plant growth and productivity. Farmers
often see faster growth rates compared to traditional methods.
This means quicker harvest cycles and more income opportunities.
Estimated profits for hydroponic farming range from
$20,000 to $100,000 per acre annually, with high-value crops
like herbs and leafy greens often yielding higher returns.
The revenue generated per acre of solar panels can be substantial,
with an average of $98,400 per year.
Aquaponics can be a profitable venture. With the right setup and
market, it allows for year-round production of high-quality, organic
produce and fish, which can fetch premium prices, especially in local and
niche markets. While there are high startup costs and ongoing expenses,
once established, it can generate income from selling fish and vegetables, particularly with the growing demand for sustainable food.
Aquaponics is particularly suitable for an independent off-the-grid
lifestyle because it is a vertical agricultural system that lets you grow
three to four times more food than a regular garden or yard would allow
in a fixed space. The increased availability of space means that you will
be able to produce a lot more food throughout the year.
An aquaponic system installed on one acre of covered, flat, and leveled land can earn 300,000 USD per year. The operational cost for one-time installation is about 1.2 million USD, so we will become profitable within five years.
The entire operation will be powered by solar, wind, and micro
hydroelectric. A small-scale hydroelectric plant with a capacity of
10 megawatts (MW) can typically generate around 50 million kWh
of electricity per year, enough to power around 5,000 homes.
Harvesting energy and organic food will be our top priority.
Help us get started. Become a community investor today.
Encourage two people to become community investors too.
Family, friends, co-workers, or your congregation members.
Commercial farmers are turning to hydroponics to
enhance their operations in several ways:
A residential wind turbine with a rated power output of 2 kW to 10 kW can achieve electricity production of around 3,000 kWh to 15,000 kWh per year.
The payments for a wind turbine will vary based on the location and the utility company. Here are some published payment amounts from different states.
We are not building 80' towers! Micro-Wind technology only.
A wind turbine contract from 2009 in Indiana paid $1.10 per megawatt hour but not less than $3,500 per megawatt rated capacity per year. The North Dakota State University report listed payments of $4,000 to $6,000 per megawatt of rated power or royalties of three to five percent of gross electricity sales.
We are seeking our first 2,500 community investors to help us build our first, but certainly not our last community renewable energy Agri-solar farm. The average solar farm income per acre per year is $21,250 to $42,500. Our goal is to produce 20+MW annually through micro hydroelectric, solar, and wind. We may use some forms of mechanical generation too.
With 2,500 community investors we could have $75,000 operating capital per month. If we secured a $2.5 million dollar loan, even with not so good interest rates, our loan costs would be around $55,000 per month, at a 7 year pay-off time instead of ten. Making the return on investment even quicker. Since construction costs are paid, dividends will start being paid to our community investors.
There is an investment period of 10-years into the Illinois Community Development Fund, at $30 per month. $360 annually. You can always invest $3,600 up-front. Estimated time to pay off construction cost is 7-10 years. However, you must think of this like an extra retirement savings account. Once you start receiving dividend payments, your investment amount is frozen. You will earn a share in the profit from everything developed up to that time period, but you will not receive dividends on revenue for future development projects on other land we develop.
The longer you wait to start earning dividends, the higher your return on investment will be. 15-20-year investment period is highly recommended, especially for younger investors. You can always increase your ROI by increasing your monthly investment amount. We set it a minimum of $30 per month, so just about everyone can be a community investor. Community Investors can collectively own and benefit from new farms WE develop. Instead of billionaires, WallStreet investors and power companies.
That is an extremely complicated answer that might leave some of the best
mathematicians scratching their heads. We have a lot more moving parts, more than
your typical solar farm operation. Keep in mind the goal over the 10-20-year investment
period is to complete as many renewable energy projects as possible.
We will do our best to break the potential down in the simplest terms possible.
A 1MW solar farm produces about 1,825MWh of electricity per year, enough to power
approximately 170 U.S. homes. A 1 MW solar farm’s money depends on location, sunlight,
electricity costs, and power purchase agreements. However, a typical 1 MW solar farm in the
USA generates around $120,000 to $135,000 per year selling electricity at the retail price.
Going by the flowchart 20MW+ generating $10-$50 million annually.
Using conservative figures, 50MW could easily generate $25 million in revenue.
25,000 community investors at $360 per year would earn $1,000 per year
once construction costs are paid, in this case 7-year term. $2,520 invested.
With 23 good years remaining on the system, each community investor could
potentially earn $23,000 over the remaining life of the life of the solar farm.
Go Beyond Solar. Wind compliments solar. A hybrid energy system with solar and wind
energy can produce a consistent source of electricity throughout the year, with the strengths
of each resource balancing the other's weaknesses. As production from one resource dwindles
daily or seasonally, the other begins to pick up the slack with more generation.
If a 10-kW home wind turbine is enough to offset the energy costs of a home,
than placing them on top of tall buildings should increase our energy production.
Capable of providing a daily energy output of up to 240 kWh under the right conditions.
A home wind turbine can be used to connect to the grid for net metering purposes.
The average height of a 3-story building is 40 feet, while a 5-story building is 65 foot tall.
An 8-13 story building is 98-163 foot tall. A 10-kW turbine generates 30 percent more
power on a 100-foot building than a 40-foot building. However, either height
can produce far more electricity than relying on solar alone.
A 500W Hydro turbine may not sound very big, but it runs 24 hours per day,
365 days per year. It will produce around 4,000kWh per year and a reasonably
energy efficient house will use about 5,000kWh per year.
A typical 100kW hydro turbine power generator can generate up to 50mW power.
Monthly Community Investment = More MW of Electricity we can install
The more MW of Electricity we install = More ROI for our Community Investors!
Remember all those door knocking companies Route 66 chased out of town?
Trying to slam in PPA's before the beginning of 2025 when net metering changed.
Why? Because they were preying upon you like a thieving vulture!
What is a PPA? Financing a solar panel system with a power purchase agreement,
or a PPA, is similar to leasing or "renting" a solar panel system.
A high upfront cost is required to install commercial solar panels, which is a major
challenge, especially for small-scale businesses with financial limitations.
Solution: Community Investing pays for the project and owns the systems production.
The host location receives a discount on their electricity rate provided by the system.
The host location receives 50% of EV charging revenue if applicable.
Community investors receive the PPA contract and 50% of charging revenue.
The total energy expenditures of buildings in the U.S. reached $142 billion at
$23,900 per building and $1.47 electricity use per square foot. For example:
Estimated Annual Electricity Cost of a Grocery Store: $160,000.
Estimated Annual Electricity Cost of Gas Station: $24,000-$160,000.
Estimated Annual Electricity Cost Medical Centers: $4,000 - $160,000.
If we were able to save a commercial business 50% on electricity costs,
and provide them with a new revenue stream - 50% of EV charging sales.
A Community Invested PPA would be beneficial for all parties involved.
Community investors now earning the other 50% of electricity being purchased.
Example: 50 Gas Stations paying $24,000 electric bill annually would be $12,000 profit
annually to the community investors = $600,000 annually profit from PPA contracts.
In addition to those type of power purchase agreements, there are
agreements with power companies or the state. Our established solar
EPC and O&M partners can offer us the same terms as the
purchase power agreement contracted with private, public, and national utilities.
Assuming 15 percent utilization—equivalent to about seven 30-minute charging
sessions per day—our hypothetical station would generate $265,000 to $285,000 in annual
revenue, given a price of $0.45 per kWh dispensed. (Pricing may vary by time of day).
10 Year Goal: 150 Charging Stations
150 stations earning $100,000 per year = $15 million per year
150 stations earning $150,000 per year = $22.5 million per year
150 stations earning $250,000 per year = $37.5 million per year
25-year gross profit potential = $375 million - $937.5 million
$15,000 - $37,500 Profit Potential per investor over 25 years.
The more EV charging stations we have throughout the state makes our investors' money!
It also helps promote tourism, ensuring EV vehicle drivers can get around without charging anxiety.
Having convenient use of FAST chargers, may also increase EV or hybrid sales.
Which in the end, makes our Illinois Community Investors' money!
Our Goal: Build 150-250 EV Charging Station Network over 7-10 years.
Basically, we don't know just how much this could generate if we keep
developing renewable energy projects throughout Illinois or beyond over
a 10–20-year investment period. Between PPA contracts, EV charging stations,
renewable energy farm development, etc. There is a lot of money to be made as a
community investor for a solid return for 25 years or more.
Decreasing costs paired with increasing demand means utility-scale solar farms are more
profitable than ever. This is helped by mechanisms like Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
PPAs allow power producers to sell electricity at a predetermined price for a specified period,
typically, 10 to 25 years. Safer investment than stocks, bonds, CD's, or mutual funds.
Example of a 10-year goal (We plan to do a lot more)
50MW of electricity production = bare minimum $25 million gross annually.
150 stations generating just $60,000 annually = $9 million gross annually.
150 PPA contracts @ approx. $12,000 annual = $1.8 million gross annually.
Sub-total = $35.8 million annually
Assume we had our goal of 25,000 community investors at a $30 per month level.
Each would have invested $360 annually. They would each be making $1,432 annually
in dividends over the course of the next 25 years or more. Basically, each person
invested $3,600 over a 10-year period, they will receive $35,800 in
dividends over the course of 25 years after construction costs are paid.
The first two project can be accomplished with only 1,000 - 2,500 community investors.
Imagine all the projects we would be able to complete with 25,000 community investors.
We provided you with an example of a 10-year goal, but we want to double that example
and construct renewable energy projects for the next 20 years or more.
There is an investment period of 10-years into the Illinois Community Development Fund,
at $30 per month. $360 annually or $3,600 invested after 10-years.
However, you must think of this like an extra retirement savings account.
Once you start receiving dividend payments, your investment amount is frozen.
You will earn a share in the profit from everything developed up to that time period,
but you will not receive dividends on revenue for future development projects.
The longer you wait to start earning dividends, the higher your return on investment will be.
15-20-year investment period is highly recommended, especially for younger investors.
You can always increase your ROI by increasing your monthly investment amount.
We set it a minimum of $30 per month, so just about everyone can be a community investor.
The more development capital we have, the more projects we can complete every year.
The more MW of Electricity we install = More ROI for our Community Investors!
Our mission was to create a lucrative program for our
customers, community investors, and urban host locations.
We've done our best to design this program, so it is affordable enough for just about everyone to join and participate in the community investment fund.
Become a community investor today. Encourage 2 people that you care about to become an investor too. Help us reach our goal of 25,000 Illinois small donation investors. The quicker we reach our goal, the more projects we can start developing this year. Being a power production company gives us a lucrative safe return on our investments for the next 25-35 years or more.
Every year we will continue to develop new projects for the full 10-year investment period. Offering or community investors the ability to receive discounts on fish, fruits, and vegetables. Dividends on electricity and EV Charging sales, real estate development deals, or anything else we venture into.
