READ THIS THOROUGHLY AND CALL IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS (602-329-1388).

Experienced salespeople wanted for our fast growing solar energy business in Tempe, Arizona.

We give you the leads — you make the presentations in the customer’s home. (M-Th 5-9pm; Sat.9-3pm)

100% commission – $1,000 per sale (our salespeople earn $6,000 – $14,000 per month).

UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITY FOR THE EXPERIENCED, COMMITTED SALESPERSON (we are expanding
nationally and our best salespeople can choose where they want to work — and even have
management opportunities).

You must:

1. Absolutely love sales (you KNOW if your’e a true salesperson – if you don’t, this job is likely not for you — sorry);

2. Not be afraid of people (our best salespeople who make six figures get rejected 2 out of every 3 times);

3. Believe in America’s transition into solar energy (the time for solar has finally arrived and it will stay);

4. Look presentable and be able to communicate well with people;

5. Have reliable transportation (daily travel to leads).

6. PREFER A SMILE OVER A SCOWL!

You don’t cold call!!!!! You are given pre-screened leads on a daily basis. Appointments are set after 5:00 p.m.

Come to our office at 1625 West University Drive, Suite 117, Tempe, AZ 85281 on Monday @ 4:00 p.m.

3-day Training (NOT PAID) Tuesday thru Thursday (12 p.m.-4 p.m.) – you will go out on a few “ride alongs” in the evenings.

Our solar products pay for themselves through energy savings and current incentives (tax credits & utility rebates)

so you don’t ask for money!!! Your job basically is to educate customers that their monthly utility bill can continue

going to the “grid” or toward reducing their bill and saving America from its dependence on foreign oil.

If you’re the right person, you can be making $6,000 to $14,000 per month right away.

RSVP for the Monday meeting. (602-329-1388). See u there!

I have always admired Obama’s attitude towards green technologies. During a speech in Georgetown, he continued encouraging the biofuel industry and telling people that “the only way for America’s energy supply to be truly secure is by permanently reducing our dependence on oil.”

Thanks to various reports coming out of Texas, we have unearthed another clean energy Grinch.

This one is El Paso Electric, which in June of 2010 changed its rate for buying energy from installed residential solar energy systems. That rate, which is set at 12 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for most of the utility’s service area, is only 3 cents per kWh for the El Paso area.

Meanwhile, since March, the utility has abandoned net metering and gotten approval from the Texas Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to do the following:

• Charge solar energy system customers a $15 service fee (purportedly to integrate their energy into the grid)
• Charge solar customers full price (12 cents per kWh) for electricity they buy
• Pay only 2.5 to 3 cents per kWh of electricity the customer generates from solar panels and adds to the grid (visit this page for a better explanation of events).

This has left some El Paso Electric customers paying up to $100 per month, even where installed solar energy systems are delivering more energy to the grid than the home uses.

El Paso Electric defends itself by saying that the PUC ordered the rate (change). A PUC spokesman demurs, saying current law empowers utilities to lower their electricity buyback rates, but doesn’t demand that they do so.

The solution is, of course, net metering, which spins an electric meter backward for energy generated from solar, and forward for energy purchased. This measure, designed to improve the uptake of “green” energy systems like solar, compensates customers toward the cost of their solar energy systems, reducing the payback period and encouraging homeowners who might otherwise install a pool to think clean energy instead.

Some argue that net metering penalized those without solar energy systems; i.e., the poor, who can’t afford solar energy any more than they can afford larger utility bills. But in fact the burden of cost could (and should) fall on utilities, which like corporations nationwide reap huge profits for shareholders and executive salaries (El Paso’s profit was over $100 million in 2010), yet often pay no taxes.

Economics aside, it’s this kind of behavior that consistently puts our “green energy future” out of reach.

BEDFORD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Spire Corporation (Nasdaq: SPIR), a global solar company providing capital equipment and turn-key manufacturing lines to produce photovoltaic (PV) modules, announced today that it will provide the Spi-Sun Simulator™ 4600SLP to the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy (JRC ISPRA). Spi-Sun Simulators are now used in more than thirty testing laboratories around the world to qualify PV modules.
   
The European Solar Test Installation (ESTI) lab in Ispra, Italy began certifying solar modules almost 20 years ago, based on their own industry standard “Ispra 503”. Eventually this standard was adopted by the International Electro Technical Commission (IEC) as the basis for the crystalline modules standard (IEC 61215), and later as the thin-film modules standard (IEC 61646).

Roger G. Little, Chairman and CEO of Spire Corporation, said, “With a Class AAA rating, Spire’s Simulators have become the industry standard for PV module testing, as demonstrated by utilization in over thirty test labs worldwide. Our proprietary method of controlling the Simulator’s pulse length, its large irradiance range, and its superior spectral control provide test labs with a powerful tool for assessing PV module performance during development or qualification. Spire’s Simulators are also ideally suited for production manufacturing environments, and there are currently hundreds used in manufacturing facilities throughout the world.”

VICTORIA, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Carmanah Technologies (TSX: CMH) is pleased to announce a sale worth over $625,000 USD for Carmanah EG340 solar lights to illuminate a road network at a large industrial facility in Latin America.

This sale represents the first installation of the EG340 solar lights for a roadway lighting application. According to the facility owners, the company will save hundreds of MWh of electricity per year by introducing solar powered lighting into their operations. The EG340 Carmanah solar powered lights were specifically designed to meet the cost point, lighting and performance specifications for Latin American countries. One of the key reasons the EG340 was chosen was the low maintenance requirements for the lights – another cost saving advantage. The solar light also fit in well with the national Government’s support for renewable energy products.

Applications that the EG340 solar lights are ideal for include; public roadways, parking lots, perimeter lighting, and other area lighting applications. The EG340 lights offer adaptive lighting, standard IES light distributions, 6000K and 4300K color temperature options, as well as Carmanah’s patented Energy Management System.

Carmanah CEO, Ted Lattimore said, “Part of Carmanah’s strategic business plan is to be the world leader in the development and provision of solar powered lighting solutions. This installation of the EG340 for roadway lighting in Latin America will be a credible reference for any group considering the use of solar powered LED lights to illuminate a road network, from an organization in an industry where safe and reliable performance from any equipment deployed at their facility is mandatory. It is also another significant example of Carmanah’s continued progress towards achieving our strategic business plan.”

The EG340 has already experienced significant success illuminating pathways and park areas in Latin America. Since its release in January 2011, year to date booked sales of the EG340 and EG320 solar lights are nearing $1M USD for this exciting new product series. This sale is yet another success for Mr. Fernando Entrena and Ms. Iliana Fernandez of Carmanah Authorized Distributor, Iner Consultores.
