C-Sweet: Solar Power’s Social Scene
by Matt Lugar, VP Sales and Marketing, Tioga Energy
The fact that I am writing this post at almost 2am speaks directly to the enthusiasm and excitment around the celebrations happening all over downtown San Diego this week. There have now been three nights straight of various parties and gatherings that have been hosted by companies and organizations who want to show their appreciation for their customers, partners, each other, and well… just about anyone who wants to celebrate the continued growth and strength of our industry. It is not lost on all of us who have wandered the streets of San Diego’s Gaslamp District and waterfront that we seem to be an industry almost alone in the world in our joy and excitement while global financial markets shake.
Could it even be appropriate and logical that our trajectory as an industry will help the rebuilding of the economy? Ok, that’s a little heavy, but there is no doubt that the leaders of the solar industry say they believe this to be true… and some even more so as the nights wore on and glasses were emptied. It has been great seeing old friends, colleagues and business partners again, and meeting all the newbies who have finally seen the light that solar is great place to be. Here’s to being part of the solution! Now let’s all get back to work and sell some megawatts…
