earth, the final frontier

Clean Energy, Clean Environment

We are at a cross roads in human history, we can choose to continue on as we have been, or we can make a change to improve our future and quite possibly the future for several generations to come. We are here to promote energy independence, a better environment, a secure future and a higher return on investment for your hard earned dollar. It is what I believe in, it is why I am in the solar business.

Why I want to start my own solar business

30 Jun 07 | General

I feel very strongly that we are either the solution to our energy problems or the perpetuator of them. We can either continue to burn fossil fuels and cause environmental damage or we can change to renewable energy. We can either continue our addiction to middle east oil, or we can kick the habit once and for all.

small-wind-turbine.jpg This blog is going to chronicle the start up of a Alternative Energy business in upstate New York. I plan to discuss what training is needed, the quality, cost and value of the training received, and where it occurred. I also want to detail things like a business plan, marketing, loans, tools, and what ever else will be required. I do not know if this endeavor will succeed or fail, but I am gambling a lot on the outcome, so no matter what, it will be interesting.

The types of business and installations I am looking for are solar electric (photovoltaic) solar thermal (domestic hot water and space heating), geothermal, possibly wind power and micro hydro power provided if I can get the training and certification for that type of work.

I have also started an Alternative Energy Wiki as a part of this site where others can contribute knowledge.

    I’m commenting a little late on this post, but Good Luck! We’re doing similar things to you here at A&R Solar. If you would like a second point of view on the business or solar sides let me know!

    Hi,

    I ran across your site while trying to find information on starting a solar roofing business in my state, my husband and I
    are kinda in your situation except I am the one with the job and he is still looking. Did you happen to get any grants to start your business if so I would like more information on that or if you have any information on the solar roof verses the panel would be cool as well. Good luck to you with your business

    I heard about this start up solar business site and was actually searching for it when I came across your post. I found it shortly after and thought I would give you the link encase you were interested in it too. NABCEP has some info but not really what I needed to actually run the business and I found this site very helpful. http://solarbusinessstartup.com/ Good luck with the business hope this helps.
