2. Market Opportunities
Insta-Grid TM aka, Solar-Microwave Fabric (SMF) is a mass-produced, thin, flexible membrane upon which is printed
various combinations of solar cells, microwave patch antennas, and analog control devices. The fabric can provide
solar power directly to other devices, or, can use collected power for communications, or can transmit the power
to other distant locations. The skin of the Insta-Grid can be made of a variety of materials, including Mylar,
Kapton, metallic sheets, paper, and woven fabrics, etc. For a given application, once the printing algorithm is set,
the SFM can be churned out in mass quantity, like wall paper.
Current technology provides laboratory-scale samples of separately printed solar cells and patch antennas, larger
scale printing of low efficiency solar cells, and very small samples of non-integrated combinations.
The Insta-Grid product is unique in that solar power collection, wireless power transmission and communication
capabilities are integrated in large thin, light-weight sheets that can be made into rugs or other shapes and
folded into compact packages for transport to needed locations.

This company will concentrate on the development of Insta-Grid and the adaptation of the designs to a variety of
markets. There are two types of markets, considered in turn: Markets where a niche for Insta-Grid already exists,
and entirely new markets created by Insta-Grid.

4. Competitive Landscape
In the small-scale power generation market, we highlight the advantages of INSTA-GRID for powered bimini tops.
With current technology, stiff, bulky, and cumbersome solar arrays have to be attached (by Velcro, in some cases as
illustrated in Figure 4-1) to the bimini top and the wiring to be connected in order to be used [1]. When the cruise
is over, one has to detach the solar array and unwire it in order to fold the bimini [2]. No such complications arise
with INSTA-GRID bimini tops, because the thin flexible INSTA-GRID integrates both the structural component and
the power generation component, permitting the solar power bimini to be deployed and folded (as in Figure 4-2)
completely without assembly/disassembly steps. Note that in contrast to conventional thin film printed solar cell
technologies, miniaturation of components allows INSTA-GRID to be folded like flexible fabric (i.e. with small radii
of curvature folds).

Regarding large-scale, ground-based solar power generation, for example, no system better illustrates the gulf
between current practice and Insta-Grid technology than the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System in the
California Mojave Desert (Figure 4-3) [3]. It consists of 173,500 heliostats, each with two large mirrors, focusing
solar energy on boilers located on three 140m tall solar power towers. The heliostats cover 2.4 million square
meters. The solar power system produces electricity the same way as traditional power plants by creating high
temperature steam to turn a turbine [4]. It cost $2.2 billion including a $1.6 billion loan guarantee from the U. S.
government [5, 6].
The facility was predicted to produce 392 MW, but In November 2014, Associated Press reported that the plant
was producing only "about half of its expected annual output"[7]. Further, the plant requires burning natural gas
each morning to get the plant started. On August 27, 2014, the State of California approved Ivanpah to increase its
annual natural gas consumption from 328 million cubic feet of natural gas, as previously approved, to 525 million
cubic feet. [8]
In April 2015, "biologists working for the state estimated that 3,500 birds died at Ivanpah in the span of a year,
many of them burned alive while flying through a part of the solar installment where air temperatures can reach
1,000 degrees Fahrenheit", reported the Wall Street Journal. [9]. Another issue that has been reported is the
effect of mirror glare on airplane pilots.[10]

Page 8
Figure 4-3: Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System in the California Mojave Desert
In contrast, an SFM system would consist of a large number of SFM rugs laid on the ground and secured against
wind. Compared to heliostats, the rugs are virtually weightless. With thicknesses only tens of microns, they can be
transported to the site in compact containers, and spread out without need of precise alignment or requirements
on flatness. Once power distribution cables are connected, the system is ready to generate power. There are no
towers and other large, complex structures. There are no heliostats or boiler systems to maintain. If a rug is past its
prime, it is cheaply recycled and replaced. There is no need to expend fossil fuel to start the system in the morning.
There is no danger to people or wildlife because the system does not need to concentrate sunlight. Nor is there
distracting glare since the INSTA-GRID albedo can be designed to match the reflectivity of the surrounding desert.
Assuming an average noon-time solar flux of 1kW per square meter, an INSTA-GRID with 20% efficiency and
covering a square 1.4 km on a side can generate over 300MW.
In the basic technology of panels or membranes that combine both solar cells and microwave transmitters, we cite
the NRL sandwich module which represents the US governments most advanced device in this line. The NRL
sandwich module was intended to be part of the SPS-ALPHA (Solar Power Satellite via Arbitrarily Large Phased
Array [11] concept discussed briefly below. The module has solar cells on one side of a panel and transmitters on
the other side. The left of Figure 4-4 shows an earlier embodiment, along with a ruler to illustrate its obviously
cumbersome dimensions. Subsequently, it was found that because SPS-ALPHA concentrates sunlight, the sandwich
modules have excessive heating problems. The right side of the figure shows the recent solution. Now the design
features two radiator panels jutting out from the plane of the module, making the design even more bulky and
complex. In contrast, as Figure 4-5 illustrates, Solar-Microwave fabric is as thin or thinner that silk cloth, and no
device that uses it need involve concentrated sunlight thus it is free of thermal problems.

Power/Comm/Defense
This embodiment is the item described above, but with the internal transceivers omitted and with the addition of
an active mode of power transmission whereby radiation is broadcast to a non-cooperative target and the return
from the target is used as the beacon for direction of a high power density beam.
In the power gathering mode, the Power/Com/Defense embodiment simply uses the printed solar array elements.
As pictured in Figure 9, a compactly folded rug of fabric is brought to a forward military base, a developing world
location or similarly difficult to access location and is then unfolded , and spread over the ground. Once deployed,
it provides solar power using the printed solar cells and a conventional power management and distribution
system.
Besides providing power, this embodiment can be run in active retrodirective mode to provide self-defense
against airborne attack, as pictured in Figure 10. The patch antennas are energized to transmit a broad directivity
radiation pattern, and radiation return from intruding air vehicles is used as the beacon for retrodirective beam

The addition of the active mode of retrodirective beam control makes this embodiment an original contribution to
the state-of-the-art both for power collection in remote places and as a method for aircraft and missile defense.

Figure 4-6: SPS-ALPHA concept for space solar power: reflectors concentrate sunlight onto module array. Satellite
beams power to receiver from geosynchronous orbit.
The runner-up concept for space solar power satellite design is the (John Mankins) SPS-Alpha concept (Figure 4-6)
[11].
While an improvement over previous efforts SPS-ALPHA has thousands of rotating mirrors used to redirect
reflected sunlight onto the solar array, and the solar radiation redirection functions and photovoltaic radiation
functions are segregated into different, very large structures. The very large structure cannot be launched except
through many launch vehicles, and the system must be assembled on-orbit via elaborate infrastructure, including
advanced robotic technology. Thus, as in all previous effort, the concept interposes the obstacle of a huge initial
investment to achieve a first revenue system.
In contrast, the Power Star design (see Figure 4-7) combines the new printing technologies with well established
inflatable satellite technologies [13, 14]. INSTA-GRID sheets are produced in mass quantities. The thin sheets are
assembled into a spherical balloon. For launch, the sphere is compactly packaged in a small container that fits into
the launch vehicle payload faring. Once on orbit a volatile material is made to sublimate to provide the gas
pressure for initial inflation. Metallic layers within the printed sheets are forced into yield to provide rigidification
and the Power StarTM sphere is then evacuated. Electromagnetic propagation theory shows us that a completely
decentralized control algorithm allows us to coordinate the numerous (printed) microwave antennas to transmit
multiple beams to any desired ground-based power collection locations. Its advantages include:

Following the initial 26-month R&D phase, we will commence the LRIP to FSD phase. Tests will be certified and a
production system brought up and running. Test equipment will be developed to test and evaluate fabrics for
wear-and tare mechanisms. Government NASAs Material and Processes Technical Information System (MAPTIS)
Codes will be created, certified and spec sheets validated and insured for marketing for Space applications. Our
research and Development (R &D) and Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) is planned to systematically reduce all
risks in planning for the unknowns by thoroughly investigating, testing and developing the production techniques
synchronous with all new material & process innovations. Here is the in-house high level overview, human
resource skills and schedule estimate for successful planning.
Full Scale Development/Production will start in the third section of the LRIP to FSD phase and full ROI is expected
within 39 months.
Solutioncells plan to take-over what was once Boeings Engineering & development Building in Long Beach next to
the Airport. We will start with 2 floors at just over 25,000 square feet each providing skilled professionals offices,
conference rooms, Labs, research and development areas for clean prototype machines development.

7. Marketplace
The Energy Market:
Capital costs to produce energy have doubled since year 2000, we are going to reduce that and help eliminate the
environmental issues. The original market for the Solar- Fabric was for Space Solar Power, as energy demand
keeps growing exponentially more ways have been looked at without the carbon footprint. Nowadays the world
consumes around 20 terra-watts of energy per year. The average consumer pays 10-25 cents ($0.10-$0.25 USD)
per kilowatt hour, sometimes much more in hard to service areas and other Countries.
AIC & SVC believes it can realistically capture 3% of the domestic market, or $54 million by its fifth year of
operations.
These manufacturers must find ways to achieve improved efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint while
containing costs. The annual spending increase from $130 billion today and expected to reach $550 billion by
2035 thus requiring new finance models & sources such as our Space Solar Power or Energy From Space systems.
Many countries and people have been proposing this since 1970s and much more recently. Currently there is no
competition in this industry.

reduced world GDP by 0.6% in 2009.
Worldwide Energy Demand
Over 50% of U.S. crude oil and petroleum products imports came from the Western Hemisphere (North, South,
and Central America, and the Caribbean, including U.S. territories) during 2012. About 29% of our imports of
crude oil and petroleum products came from the Persian Gulf countries of Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi
Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. Our largest sources of net crude oil and petroleum product imports were
Canada and Saudi Arabia.
Top sources of net crude oil and petroleum product imports:
Canada (28%)
Saudi Arabia (13%)
Mexico (10%)
Venezuela (9%)
Russia (5%)
It is usually impossible to tell whether the petroleum products you use came from domestic or imported sources
of oil once they are refined. Reliance on petroleum imports has declined
U.S. dependence on imported oil has declined since peaking in 2006

9. Business Model
How will the product be sold (direct to end -users, OEM, partners, etc?)
Selling Basics:
People are highly complex and often mysterious, so we all struggle to understand our fellow humans.
However, now that youve gotten over being afraid to sell, here are a few basic psychological tidbits that
can help you write compelling copy.
1. People make decisions emotionally.
They decide based on a feeling, need, or emotion, not through a logical thought process. Thats why
intangible benefits are the keys to persuasion.
When youre writing, you should ask yourself, What is the emotional hot button here?
2. People justify decisions with facts.
Example: a man sees an advertisement with a photo of a sports car and instantly falls in love. However,
he cant bring himself to buy the car based on a feeling, so he reads the copy for technical details about
the powerful engine, safety features, and low maintenance.
He wants the car because it makes him feel good. But he buys it only when he can justify the purchase
rationally.
3. People are egocentric.
The word egocentric means centered around the ego or self. We all see the world in terms of how it
relates to us personally. So when your copy asks someone to do something, it must also answer the
unspoken question, Whats in it for me?
On a deeper level, the question might be How does this give me feelings of personal worth?
4. People look for value.
Value is not a fixed number. Value is relative to what youre selling, what others charge, what the
prospect is used to paying, how badly the prospect wants it, and how the prospect perceives the
difference between your offer and others.
You must demonstrate a value that seems to be equal to or greater than the asking price. The greater
the value relative to the price, the more likely people are to buy.
5. People think in terms of people.
The human brain is not a computer, calculator, or information processor. Scientists have shown that its
primary function is to deal with social interactions.
Remember how some mathematical questions in high school were stated as real-life situations? They
were always easier to understand and solve than abstract problems. Your copy, therefore, should feature
people through names, personal pronouns, quotes, testimonials, stories, photos of satisfied customers,
etc.
6. You cant force people to do anything.
When people buy, its not because you wield some magical power over them.
You can urge. You can push. You can entice. But ultimately, people do what they want to do. This means
your job is to show how what youre offering meets your prospects needs.
7. People love to buy.
Some say people dont like to be sold. Not true.
People love to be sold. They love to discover wonderful new products and experiences.
What people dont love is to be cheated or tricked. Therefore, it can be helpful to change your analogy of
the marketing process.
AIC-SVC; Insta-GridTM
Page 28
Instead of
selling to people, try to help them. Sell good products, make appealing offers, and treat people fairly.
Thats a surefire formula for success.
8. People are naturally suspicious.
Its true that theres a sucker born every minute, but most people are moderately skeptical of any offer.
They seek to avoid risk.
You can never predict the level of suspicion any particular person has, so its usually best to back up all
claims with evidence, such as testimonials, survey results, authoritative endorsements, test results, and
scientific data.
9. People are always looking for something.
Love. Wealth. Glory. Comfort. Safety. People are naturally dissatisfied and spend their lives searching for
intangibles.
At its simplest, writing good copy is a matter of showing people how a particular product, service, or
cause fulfills one or more of their needs.
10. People buy direct because of convenience and exclusivity.
If people could easily find the things you offer at a nearby store, thats probably where many would buy
them. So if they are not buying from you directly for sheer convenience, theyre doing it because they
cant find the item elsewhere (or just dont know where to look).
Thats why its wise to emphasize the convenience and exclusivity of what you wish to sell.
11. People like to see it, hear it, touch it, taste it, or smell it before they buy it.
Some people never buy online because they cant examine the merchandise. Some items, such as books
and CDs, are tangible and familiar enough to sell easily online because there is little doubt about the
physical quality.
Other items, such as clothing or food, may be a harder sell at least until people have a satisfactory
buying experience because quality may be variable.
Think about how people buy things in stores and ask yourself if there is some element of that sensory
experience that is missing from your sales message.
12. Most people follow the crowd.
Most of us are imitators.
We look to others for guidance, especially when we are uncertain about something. We ask, What do
others think about this? What do others feel? What do others do? Then we act accordingly.
This is why testimonials and case histories are so influential.
Of course, this barely scratches the surface. Psychology is a deep and eternally revealing line of study.
And while I dont believe in making things more complicated than they have to be, I think there is great
benefit in knowing not only what people do, but also why they do it.
This is the path to copywriting mastery.
