Solar: The Bigger Picture

Hi Everyone,

For the presentation on Gove Solar's Tri-Tier system, we focused on the development of the Tri-Tier system for commercial applications - Home Depot sized roofs. In order to really do the solar development justice, I wanted to explain some other phases of the solar development.

I mentioned how Blair Builders is a customer that I have on board and eager to get the Tri-Tier system on roof tops they own. Blair is also a substantially large land owner in Massachusetts. I'm currently in litigation with Blair to help them develop 6mW (=6,000,000 watts) solar farms on some plots of land that they have available and are un able to install houses on. I couldn't go into this aspect of the solar development in detail because its a business proposal in itself. I chose to stick with the Tri Tier system because it was something that I had least development on, from a business stand point.

So, for a compelling story, I hope to be breaking ground with Blair in early 2013. I alluding to installing conventional solar systems to serve as revenue generation for the Tri-Tier system. The solar farm installations is the revenue. This is what REALLY allows me to pay back a $155,000 to $205,000 loan in under 1 year.

For the Tri-Tier system, I'm finalizing a second loan to get the first freemium project installed by March. The idea is to develop the Tri-Tier system and use it to enhance the energy performance of solar farms as well. Essentially, I came out of the class with 3 business proposal documents, the second of the 3rd which I focused the class on and the 3rd of which I haven't written yet.
