He is the author of over twenty publications on PV technology and several PV patents. He began his career conducting thin film PV research at the University of Delaware where he received a Ph.D. in Applied Science (EE) and an M.E.E. He also holds both a B.S. and a B.A. from Swarthmore College.
Beamreach Solar recently and for flat commercial roofs. Sprint''s light weight allows it to be installed on millions of commercial roofs that cannot currently support heavy conventional solar systems, dramatically expanding the market for commercial solar power systems. In addition, Sprint''s high power capacity, ultra-fast install process, and other unique features provide commercial customers with a better return on investment and a lower cost of electricity than conventional solar power systems.
Beamreach Solar will be exhibiting Sprint at this week at . It will also be at (SPI) on September 12-15 and at other trade shows and conferences over the coming months.
Beamreach Solar breaks through barriers in the solar market, moving us closer to a world where clean energy is everywhere. Born from proven technology, inspired by design and driven by performance, Beamreach Solar''s innovative solar technology enables the commercialization of groundbreaking rooftop solar products. With solar systems that are light, high performance and fast to install, Beamreach Solar delivers more value to solar installers, developers, roofers and commercial solar customers than conventional photovoltaic (PV) solar systems.
