As cars enter the Boys & Girls Club driveway, volunteers wearing costumes will line-up and provide the children in each car with bags of Halloween treats.  All volunteers will be physically distanced, and families stay safely in their car.

There will be an optional “photo booth” for kids who would like pictures taken. This event is FREE to all children.

The Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield is working with the Marshfield Food Pantry, the Town of Marshfield, guidelines from the state and the Marshfield Public Schools and other service organizations to provide critical services the community needs to support children and families over the short- and long-term. Among the steps they have taken to meet ongoing needs include: food distribution to food insecure families (hundreds of healthy meals per week in the form of Grab & Go meal boxes, drive-thru dinners and more); providing a safe place for kids while many parents and guardians return to work; and serving as a resource for the Board of Health and other departments to further assist families. Currently, the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield provides breakfast before school, remote support learning during the day, and traditional after school care for 100 students per day.

Boston Solar announces partnership with Generac to offer solar power back-up option.

September 29, 2020 //  by admin

In the event of a power outage, Bay State homeowners can now take advantage of an innovative solar power backup system. Boston Solar, the top solar installer in the state, recently announced a partnership with Generac to offer PWRcell solar batteries.

Generac, a company renowned for making home backup generators, recently introduced an innovative PWRcell battery storage system. This power backup option is free of fossil fuels and combines with solar energy. The capacity of the Generac PWRcell is the largest on the market when it comes to residential solar batteries, making it much easier to be flexibly scaled alongside a homeowner’s solar PV system. It was created in mind to time-shift energy loads during peak rate periods. Plus, with Generac’s plug & play system and being DC coupled, installation is easy.

Generac’s PWRcell solar battery has 17.1kWh storage capacity with 10kW peak power / 6.7kW continuous power. Additional features include: a DC battery; easily scalable up to 34.2kWh; greater raw power; Generac Inverter; automatic transfer switch; smart management and energy monitoring.

Benefits of solar battery storage

There are a number of benefits of combining battery storage to the design of a residential solar energy installation:

– Battery storage saves all of your clean energy for use in your own home 24/7 

– It can further reduce your energy bills by helping to avoid peak demand electricity prices by load shifting from grid-use electricity to battery use. 

– Solar batteries qualify for the savings of the federal solar tax credit. 

– A solar plus storage system can protect your home from unexpected power loss and keep your lights on during a power outage. 

“Utilizing solar energy in the home has many enticing benefits, from reducing your carbon footprint and energy bills to increasing the resale value of your home,” said Daniel Mello Guimaraes, CEO and co-founder. 

He continued, “A well-designed and installed system of solar panels can often generate more energy than a home will use during the peak sunlight hours, which means all that excess energy is sent back to the grid for use in other homes, in return for a net metering credit. Yet, solar battery storage allows for all that excess renewable energy to be saved for later, which ultimately maximizes the benefits of solar. Solar battery storage assures homeowners a power back-up option.”

In addition to Generac PWRcell, Boston Solar’s battery storage system line includes Tesla Powerwall and Sonnen eco. 

Boston Solar is committed to reducing clients’ utility bills and making Massachusetts a cleaner place to live and work. The company has been catering to Bay State residents since 2011 and is the #1 Massachusetts based installer with over 400 projects per year.

To arrange for a complimentary solar quote or to learn how a solar plus battery storage system can fit into your home’s energy needs, call 617-858-1645 or visit https://www.bostonsolar.us/residential-solar/battery-storage/

This is music to the lungs. MSRP $20.00

Mini Bamboo Pollen Sifter Box

Handsome and efficient, this Bamboo Pollen Sifter Box is made from high-quality bamboo and features a 100 micron mesh screen in the middle, to help filter the pollen from your herb.

The big gift under the tree. “The Armoire” is the ultimate in home growing.

The Armoire is such a substantial and beautifully designed piece of furniture that even your most disapproving aunt won’t suspect you own a robust home grow system that could save you thousands per year in comparison to a dispensary.

The Armoire requires only two minutes of care daily to garner an impressive yield of 3-5 oz of dried, hand-crafted flower in as little as 60 days.

Emerson Bearing Boston expands line of innovative bearing solution for heavy load applications

September 15, 2020 //  by admin

From military and defense equipment to mining, manufacturing, transportation and even industrial bottling technologies, bearing selection plays a critical role when it comes to heavy load applications that require great freedom of movement.

Emerson Bearing

Emerson Bearing, based in Boston, is expanding their line of Slewing Ring Bearings, an innovative bearing solution that offers a number of unique benefits over other ball and roller bearings.

Precision slewing ring bearings are a type of angular bearing that consist of two concentric rings with balls or rollers that enhance movement in load-bearing and power transmission applications. The two rings may be constructed with toothed gears to increase torque and can facilitate movement in any direction from the center of the bearing.

What Sets Slewing Ring Bearings Apart

Slewing ring bearings have the load carrying capacity as well as high material stiffness to ensure sufficient support in rigid bearing applications. They also provide 360-degree joint support for complex load bearing systems, which allows for concurrent movement on multiple axes. Slewing ring bearings have a shaftless design and are valuable for their low-friction and freedom of movement. All of these advantages result in an extended service life.

The versatility and efficiency of slewing ring bearings makes them ideal for use in a range of industries. Common applications include:

– Missile launchers, tank turrets and optical devices in the Military and Defense industry. Slewing ring bearings are often used in military and defense equipment that must direct heavy loads with a high degree of precision. 

– The construction industry, particularly in load-bearing and lifting applications such as lifts, cranes, hydraulic excavators and borers. 

– Industrial bottling applications including sanitization, washing capping, and labeling functions. The 360-degree rotation of slewing rings makes them especially useful.

– Mining excavation and tunnel boring, where equipment must be able to move freely under heavy loads.

– Transportation such as trains, trams, and subways. Slewing rings are often used to facilitate free and easy vehicle movement.

“Our bearing experts can assist in determining which bearing technologies would be most suitable by taking into consideration the specifications, recommendations, maintenance strategies, fatigue life and wear resistance of bearings in relation to the application,” explained Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing Boston.

To learn more about Emerson Bearing’s precision slewing ring bearings and how they can improve operations, visit EmersonBearing.com or call 800-225-4587.
