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 with a higher return on investment for your hard earned money. 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!
