Blogger Featured in Solar Today Magazine


Getting publicity is sure great but for someone like me it's a little difficult to "toot my own horn." Still, if you have spare time during lunch or whenever, take a look.

Many thanks to author and friend Dr. Mary Beth McCabe for interviewing me and writing this article which was totally unsolicited by this writer or Clary Solar. Mary Beth owns Sun Marketing and specializes in the marketing and promotions of solar power from assisting individual installers with building image to strategic planning for solar integrators and manufacturers. She can be contacted at mbmccabe@sunmarketing.net.

Also, special thanks to both Mary Beth and her husband, Allen Shubat, for purchasing a 6.9kWdc system. It is always impressive when people actually practice what they preach. --DB

June: Dow, NASDAQ, Solar Drop More


Month finishes strong though


The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 158 points during June to finish at 12412, about a 1.3% decline. The NASDAQ fell 60 points during the month to end at 60.22, a 2.17% slip. Issues in the 20 Solar Stocks Index (20SSI) however finished nearly flat from May finishing at 391 points, just a 2.5 point slip or .6%.

Despite weak performance for solar stocks this year, the industry continues to be one of the few bright growth sectors. Spain's and Italy's reduction in solar feed-in tariffs have led to a glut in panel inventories and unprecedented low wholesale pricing worldwide.
