We asked solar professionals attending Solar Power International in Las Vegas this week why they’re making the trip. This is what they said:
Rick Gilbert
Vice President
Solar Source
“Being a Florida-based company, solar policy topics are of great interest to us. We deal with some of the most unfavorable energy policy in the U.S., so we always have a keen interest in these discussions. I’ll admit the block party is my favorite part, though, because we get to mingle with all our industry partners, many of whom we are doing business with by phone all year long.”
Carter Lavin
Business Development Manager
Solar Marketing Group

“I don’t have a lot of time between meetings and visiting booths, so I can’t attend most of the panels, but Quick Talks are great because they are interesting informational sessions that fit my schedule.”
Mehmet Cercioglu
Director of Business Development
Sunvalley Solar Inc.

“Solar Power International is an opportunity to catch up the industry’s progress and learn about the new trends shaping our future. In this very dynamic industry we all have to adapt fast and learn to work together. I am most looking forward to get together with our friends in the industry.”
Ben Danner
Partner

“We’re looking forward to seeing the latest in energy storage for our residential customers. More than ever, our homeowners want energy security and reliability. Since many are in unregulated energy markets, the price point is fast approaching where storing one’s energy for nighttime use makes more economic sense than selling it back to the grid.”
