Chris Foss here from thechrisfossshow.com. Hey, we're here at the CES 2023.

We're going to be interviewing the CEO of Blue Addy. There we go. Introduce yourself, if you would, please. Okay. Good to see you again, Chris. Okay. My name is Loman. I'm the CEO of Blue Yeti Power Incorporation.

I'm representing our group, okay, to do this show, this biggest show, okay? All right. Well, thank you for having us. What's the booth number here? It's 9335. 9335. North Hall, okay. So come and see it in North Hall.

North Hall. And we're going to be talking to Lou Eddie. Yeah. And you can check it out online. What's the dot com for Lou Eddie? It's B-L-U-E-T-T-I-P-O-W-E-R dot C-O-M. There you go. Give us an overview of what Lou Eddie is and what you guys do.

Lou Eddie actually is a China manufacturing background company. I call it in China. We have now last year, I remember I told you we have only one factory, but up to now we have three factories because we have a lot of market demands. Okay. We have 2,500 employees globally. We have 300 engineers working from headquarters. And this year, except for the USA company, we also have our Canadian company, Mexico

company, and all the major countries like Spain, Italy, and Germany, and the UK and France. Then it looks, we have all, we opened all of the offices last year. There you go. Alright, so you got some great stuff going on. Let's go over what you guys have going on at CES. This is something I would like to stress

because this is a very important part. It is called an EP900 and B500. EP900 is this one. It's a 9000 hybrid inverter with 3 MPPT inside and 2 ACDC inverters inside. It's a very powerful inverter. Nice. Okay. Then there are the batteries. B500 battery, battery pack, battery pad. So this inverter can drive the battery and work with your home system. Work with your home system to not only providing backup, also can sell the power back to the grid operator. Okay.

Okay. So my engineer would like to show you. Mr. Are you okay? Yes. Mr. Chen Ping Liu, our engineer, will let you know how this system works. Okay, let's hand it over to him.

And go. My name is Jianping. This system I built here, this is the home panel from the utility. So normally we separate the extension load and the non-essential load using the transfer switch. So, using the home panel, we give the power to the non-essential load. Then we can charge the system using the grid and also use the PV system here, then this system built in the home is a bypass. So we can use the trans-switch to the essential load. Always, on the grid shutdown, the essential load is still working. Nice, nice. So these are great for emergencies. Can you use these for like solar or anything like that?

Yes, the solar system charges from here. Okay. Can charge our battery. So you can hook it all up and basically have your own power when the power goes out and back up at any time. Yes. Awesome, awesome. Can I have some time to show you the app? Yes. Awesome. Awesome. Can he get some time to show you the app? Yes. Yeah, we have the Bluetooth app.

We just use the Bluetooth app. Then you can use the Bluetooth to connect with our equipment. Then you can see from here the battery. Yeah, you can see the battery. This is the IoT box. Yeah, the Bluetooth box. Okay. For example, now this system will have two batteries. So battery one, battery two, and now the percentage storage is like this. Then from here, we can have the AC output, AC input. Yeah. And also here is the solar. So you can monitor everything from here? Yeah, yeah. That's awesome.

Yes. This one is the grid. This one is from the system. This one is from the solar. Awesome, wow, that is great. Okay, next what do we have up in the booth? So, right, this is a very classical product, AC 300, 3000 watts in water. And still, many customers still buy this.

This is still mainstream because we offer this recreational vehicle, TV service. It's very important for the RVN campus. Also, let me stress something. We have a program. It's called the LAEF program. Love. Every customer who purchases this system, we will donate a single solid tape for an African family. Oh, wow. That's pretty awesome. Yes, they open this box.

This box is 014890. It means we almost sold 15,000. Oh, wow. That's a lot of help you're providing to people. Yeah, yeah. So these are pretty intense systems. Right.

This has a DC and AC two-part. Yeah, you can talk here. You turn on the DC, turn off the DC, turn on the AC, turn off the AC. Very easy. Nice. AC, then on the AC, then off the AC. Very easy. They show you how much power from your solar, how much power you charge from the grid, how much do you consume from the DC, how much do you consume for your AC. Nice. And like how much power would you

have, depending upon I guess how you use it I guess. I say for outdoor life, don't run heavy duty equipment. Don't always 24 hours heater or AC. Some standard life, I think one battery is for one day. One battery for one day. That's crazy. It's a daily pack. Okay, if you want two days you can buy one more battery. Maximum distance water and full battery. So just buy this cable. This cable can do both power and the communication. But this cable is the first generation. I will show you another one.

That's a better feeling. Okay. Okay. Let's do that. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So what do you have next? Okay, all right, Chris.

This is the biggest monster. It's a monster? It's a monster in the show ground. First, let me know the teeth. Okay, see the teeth here. The teeth of the monster. This is L14 30 ampere. This is TD30 30 ampere.

This is NEMA 50 ampere. 50 ampere. It's very big. It's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. So we basically built up this location as a simulation of some stationary. Like when you drive your RV or camper to the parking lot, you can see this one. Now you own this in mobile way. Okay. So this one can maximum hook up six batteries. Look at here. One, two, three, four, five, six. Wow. So yeah, the yellow parts means this battery one and battery two. That better charge my phone. Yeah. So look at here. we have a big, this one is the second generation cable. First you can unlock and get it out. It's hard swamping. Yeah.

Hard swamp. Very dirty. We redesigned the angle. Uh huh. Fitting very good. When you plug in, you hear the leak, then lock lock it in very beautiful very durable yeah it's better than the last generation okay so much better yeah much better these are nice this is launched the last was launched last year this is

380 380 watts the biggest us power is the biggest power we can offer from the PV panel parts. Okay. Yeah. Still the mobile one. It's a little bit heavy. Okay. Nice. They are the 200.

It just folds up like that. Yeah. No, no. That one is smaller one. Oh, that's smaller. That's 200. This is 350. Okay.

The bigger size. So it folds up probably much bigger. That's crazy, though. Okay. I mean, it really is wild how far solar has come and back-up power generation has come and everything else. This is just a cool, nice little one. Yep. $299, too.

Well, actually, we do promotion. Oh, yeah? You never pay $299. You pay $269. Oh. Oh, yeah. Don't worry. We we have coupons okay there you go right this is the most affordable power station okay this coming with uh the the brand new panel is much more better than this one okay that's the old panel. That's a new panel. This is the new version? Yes, new version. It has also the UPS function. UPS function and also has the IoT function. You can control the system by a phone. By a phone app? Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. There you go. So it's got a nice little

handle on it so you can just carry it wherever you go. That's very nice. I should probably have one that I can carry around the show to church. You are the right customer. Let me tell you some numbers. In the first three months after launching, we sold 200,000 to 250,000 pieces. Wow. Yeah, a lot. That's pretty awesome. I didn't get the accurate number, but

I know roughly like that number. That is awesome, man. That is awesome. That's it? That's it. Well, thank you very much. It's booth 9335 in North Hall. Come by and see Blue Eddie, guys. Thank you very much for hosting us.

Thank you, Chris. Take care. Thank you.
