Virtus Energy & PowerLight Team for Solar PV in Texas
Berkeley CA, November 15, 2002. Virtus Energy Research Associates and PowerLight Corporation announced today that the companies have entered into a strategic distribution agreement in Texas. Virtus Energy will become PowerLight's representative in the Lone Star State for the sale of large-scale solar electric systems.
"Virtus Energy is pleased to represent PowerLight's leading commercial-scale solar products in Texas," said Virtus Energy President Mike Sloan. "We're excited that they're joining us in pursuing the vision of putting on-site solar generation on every roof and parking lot in the State."
"Texas has unparalleled potential for use of solar technologies, but currently, demand is relatively light," continued Sloan. "We're looking forward to collaborating with PowerLight to expand the use of solar energy by businesses and government agencies in Texas.
Virtus will continue to play an important role in stimulating Texas' solar electric market by supporting legislative and regulatory efforts to promote the greater use of solar power, and by supporting project development for commercial applications.
"PowerLight is honored to be associated with Virtus Energy, a well-respected member of the renewable energy community in Texas," said Dan Shugar, President of PowerLight. "This strategic partnership with Virtus Energy will help us achieve our goal of wider deployment of solar power."
