Renewable Sales is Silver Sponsor for NESEA's Building Energy 11

Renewable Sales, a photovoltaic and solar thermal products distributor is proud to be a sponsor of the 2011 Building Energy Conference and Trade Show. Renewable Sales will be displaying equipment from their manufacturer partners: Evergreen Solar, Solectria Renewables, Heliodyne and Constellation Racking. “We are looking forward to working with our partners. The Trade Show provides us an excellent opportunity to showcase local products and highlight the fact that electrical contractors and developers can be fully serviced by New England based companies,” states Kevin Price, CEO of the Holliston based company.

Renewable Sales, LLC has been instrumental in provisioning solar projects since 2008. It recently supplied equipment for photovoltaic systems to 15 Commonwealth of Massachusetts facilities. These projects will deliver over 2 megawatts (MW) of power through 11,000 solar panels. The panels will be built by Marlborough-based Evergreen Solar, and Ostrow Electric Co. of Worcester will install the equipment.

During the Building Energy 11 show, Renewable Sales will be introducing new solar panels from Evergreen Solar. These new panels include the ES-E 220 watt model with increased wattage, increased voltage and zero negative tolerance ratings.

We look forward to seeing you in March. Happy Holidays from the Renewable Sales Team.

Congrats Alteris – "Sun for Rent"

Hi Everyone:

Longtime NESEA member Alteris Renewables (formerly SolarWrights and Solar Works) recently announced that the company is installing SunRun‘s residential “Solar as a Service” in Massachusetts.

With this new game-changing program, upfront costs plummet from $30,000 to as little as $1,000 for customers to be able to install solar electric systems on their homes. Customers will enjoy savings from day one with locked-in rates for the next 18 years – a valuable protection from future electric rate increases. They can also make a good return on their initial investment.

By turning solar into a user-friendly household service like cable, SunRun and Alteris achieved incredible coverage this last Sunday in the Boston Globe – pitched by yours truly ;)

Called, “Sun for Rent,” this article was written by one of the top reporters in the field, Beth Daley.  In addition to dominating nearly the entire front page of the Money and Careers section, it was the most emailed Globe article the entire day.

It was a pleasure working with Alteris (particulary Ron French and Bill Kenzar) on this project.

Go Alteris!
