Dear Folks: at this writing we’ve still got a foot of snow on the
valley floor in western Montana, and have survived a week of severe
sub-zero temperatures. We are grateful for our stockpile of split
firewood that is keeping us toasty. Others in the northwest and
elsewhere are not so fortunate; some are having to choose between food
and heat, or heat and healthcare. In spite of recent ‘upswings’ in
the economy, most working Americans are finding times are tough and good
job opportunities scarce. Even so, thanks to you, we had a pretty darn
good year in 2003, and we look forward to helping even more folks in
2004 to achieve their goals of utilizing clean, benevolent energy and
lowering their utility bills!

We are here to help power your remote or
utility-tied home, provide back-up electricity for emergencies, grid-tie
power equipment, UPS systems, solar water pumping, or just keep your RV
or boat’s battery fully charged. We offer complete systems to fit your
project’s needs. If you want to do something to make your home ‘greener’
give us a call. We also offer a line of efficient electric and gas
appliances to help keep a lid on your electric bill.
For those of you who aren’t “on line”, or are beginning your
project, we have an extremely informative 40 page Design Guide and
130 page Product Catalog for ten dollars ($18 out of country)—essential
for your energy library! Products, system sizing, pricing, components,
energy efficient and LP appliances, battery care, gas generators and
wind turbines are just some of the topics covered. If you are
on-line, you can see example systems (costs, components and power
output) at http://www.oasismontana.com/systems.html
To assist your information input, and to save on trees and paper, we’ve tried to develop as much
on-line information as we can. For information on solar water pumping,
see http://www.PVsolarpumps.com; for utility-tied photovoltaic
systems, with and without batteries, see http://www.grid-tie.com;
for efficient AC appliances, DC ’fridges, coolers and freezers see http://www.eco-fridge.com;
for natural and propane appliances, check out http://www.LPappliances.com.
Our main index page is www.oasismontana.com. We have a great deal
of information on our web sites—please feel free to visit and stay a
