This site was just started in Jan 2014 and through the years I added additional content to it. My intention is to add evergreen content to the site to avoid outdated posts. I did take a break for a few years and had a webhost failure in 2024 that took this site offline for a while.

I am a solar electric systems expert with 36+ years of real-world industry experience. I have spent a vast majority of that time designing solutions for customers’ photovoltaic needs. I specialized in designing systems for every application of solar including off grid, residential, commercial, and utility scale systems. My extensive knowledge and experiences with systems of all shapes, sizes, and types is the value I bring to my customers to help them succeed.

My career in solar started in 1989 working for a solar installer and equipment distributor for 14 years. I later used my installation knowledge at AstroPower to manage their east coast installations and train their network on solar installers. While at GE Energy I was the applications engineering team leader overseeing all solar system designs, lead trainer and provided customer and sales support. While at GE Energy I trained over 550 of United Electric’s customers as they started their solar product group. I found United Electric’s vision of distributing solar very appealing and joined them to become their Solar Product Manager.

After United Electric I joined C2 Energy Capital and as Director of Asset Management where I oversaw $300 million of renewable assets and more than 130 operational commercial solar projects. C2 sold a portion of their projects to EDP Renewables and I joined that team growing the assets to over 540 commercial projects. With the team that I built at these companies, once the systems are constructed, we are focused on operating and maintaining safe, reliable projects ensuring accountability for performance.

At present I am the Director at Dispatch Energy leading efforts to grow their portfolio of solar and fuel cell projects.
