Success at Solar Power International 2010!

Hello Everyone!

Deane and Paige have returned from L.A. with great new contacts and tons of awesome ideas! They also learned some new exciting trends at SPI,
including the fact that many foreign solar companies are actively seeking
manufacturing sites in North America in order to capture an exploding U.S.
market, and in order to meet local content requirements now in place in
Ontario, Canada.

It's Deane outside of the Los Angeles Convention Center, all ready for SPI 2010!

Closed Plants Offer New Job Opportunities

Hello Everyone! We have officially kicked off our marketing campaign designed to assist communities that are facing new challenges stemming from closing plants.  With all of our experience, especially that in Moraine, Ohio helping breathe new life into the closed GM plant alongside our consulting partner AngelouEconomics, we are confident that we can help get these communities back on their feet. Though the plant closings have created hardships for many, these vacant plants really can breed new job opportunities.

Full speed ahead, Deane and Emily
