Hello there solar enthusiasts! Today I’m delighted to bring you exciting news from the sunny world of solar where innovation never sleeps – quite like our solar panels soaking up every drop of sunlight they find!
To start off, a big shoutout goes to SunPower who recently appointed Tony Garzolini as executive vice president and chief revenue officer. Clearly, solar companies like SunPower are making intentional strides in laying a strong financial ground to mold a sunny future.
Similarly, Joe Powell has reached a significant milestone in his illustrious career. The founding executive executive director of the Energy Transition Institute at the University of Houston, Powell just got appointed to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Industrial Technology Innovation Advisory Committee (ITIAC). Wearing this prestigious hat, he has a mandate that includes identifying future investment opportunities and technical assistance programs. He’s also expected to play key roles in catalyzing the transfer of decarbonization technologies from labs to the marketplace. It’s a monumental step towards the solar future we’re championing.
In related news, the global lithium supplier of the EV battery supply chain, Piedmont Lithium appointed Dawne Hickton to its board of directors. Hickton’s vast experience in the aerospace, energy, and metals industries is surely going to be a game-changer for the company.
And speaking of game-changers, let us shine some light on some of the changes happening in the field.
Anatoliy Zeltser started a new position as Director of Construction at VC Renewables. JoEllen Billotte has taken up the mantle of Senior Project Developer at National Renewable Solutions. At Attentive Energy, Erik Strand has started contributing as Risk & Interface Lead. Greenskies Clean Focus welcomed Daniel Edelson as their new Director of Business Development.
A special mention must go to the position of VP of Solar Project Origination, a role offering a unique opportunity to drive growth, innovation, and impact in the renewable energy sector. This senior-level position involves leading the origination for renewable energy projects and building strategic partnerships. It truly intertwines all significant aspects such as market strategy development, negotiation, risk analysis, and project development.
Moreover, the VP of Origination is expected to represent the company at industry conferences, forums, and networking events, which essentially puts them in a position to shape the industry narrative.
Installing solar panels for your home might seem like a relatively small step compared to these top-echelon moves, but remember it’s each such small step that collectively paves the way for a greener future.
A solar array for home is no longer a dream of the future but rather the reality of the present. If you’re considering this route, there couldn’t be a better time to take the plunge. With an increasing number of solar companies to choose from, the power to make an environmentally-conscious choice is literally at your fingertips!
Before I sign off, remember, we’re all a part of this green wave, and every push forward, no matter how small, adds serious momentum to the cause. Until the next sunbeam of news, soak up the sun (or should I say, let your solar panels do so)!
