We’re pleased to announce that beginning on September 6, Sun First! Solar will be running a TV ad promotion with SunPower, a leading provider in solar technologies.
The SunPower TV ad will air in Sun First! Solar’s Marin and Napa/Sonoma regions.
Since their founding more than twenty five years ago, SunPower achieved major industry recognition because of their delivery of highly efficient solar cells, solar panels and solar energy systems. Their renowned solar technology placed them as the leading developer in solar solutions for homes, small businesses, and commercial buildings.
SunPower’s path to success began in the 1970s. During this time, co-founder Dr. Richard Swanson searched for solutions to the oil crisis, while also working towards his doctorate in engineering at Stanford University. He then began brainstorming how to provide alternative energy sources. Already fascinated by the use of solar cells on satellites, he remained curious as to how to make cells more cost-effective. He set out on his mission.
Fifteen years later, while teaching electrical engineering at Stanford, Dr. Swanson received grants from the Electric Power Research Institute and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to help fund his solar power research. These funds, as well as other financial support, helped launched SunPower as a corporation in 1985. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Swanson met his team of solar energy experts.
Forty years later, SunPower stands the world leader and provider of solar energy. They’ve worked with major customers including Honda Motor Company, and they’ve partnered with organizations and companies including the U.S. Air Force Academy and Ford.
