For many of us, our first real experience with solar started with a solar powered calculator.  It’s safe to say that solar has come a long way since that time.  It has become more efficient, more accessible, and is being produced in many forms that increase the flexibility of its uses.

Solar technology is being integrated into laptop bags, tents, street signs, satellites, space stations, and even into the roofs of our cars and the garages that we park them in.

The truth is, that we have just recently started to unlock the real potential of our oldest power plant, the sun.

That potential reaches into our lives in the personal devices listed above, but also has a huge impact on our businesses as well.  Electricity can be one of the largest monthly expenses that a business incurs, and in today’s competitive business environment, minimizing operations costs is a must.

As a former office and project manager in the commercial real estate arena, it is the potential impact on business that I am passionate about.
