About This Blog

Posted on 10:04 PM by Unknown
Welcome to the Solar Strategies Blog.

This blog is dedicated to solar market development. My goal is to share advice, resources and insights I think will help solar suppliers be more successful today and tomorrow. I’ll talk about where the solar industry is now and where it’s going, focusing on the market-development techniques, ideas and strategies I believe will make a difference.

I invite you to participate. Please post comments, start a discussion or send me your feedback directly. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
