Green Economics & Ethical Business
We at the Rainbow Power Company are employed in an industry with a primary objective of turning the tide away from environmental destruction and towards environmental harmony.
We frequently hear businesses claim that they hold environmental concerns above all else, but often this attitude is taken in order to increase sales and is only a public relations facade.

Rainbow Power Company performs a number of functions based on social ethics and environmental sustainability. Our aims and objectives include the following:
  • To manufacture, wholesale, retail and demonstrate by example all manner of devices powered by Renewable Energy sources.
  • To trade in only high quality, user friendly, efficient, cost effective products, supported by reliable up-to-date advice and after sales service.
  • To educate the general public in all aspects of using energy from renewable sources, and living and developing in a sustainable way.
  • To aid developing countries of the world in improving their living standards by educating and trading with them in renewable energy products.
