It is was great to have Gary Gerber of Sun Light & Power together with Bob Kingery of Southern Energy Management last week in NC. We are grateful to be working with two such impactful leaders in the solar industry.

Our installation at Southern Energy Management in Raleigh-Durham, NC seems to have some gravitational pull.
As SEM would readily admit, their offices are not exactly on Times Square. But in spite of the industrial surroundings, the Spotlight system is attracting a steady stream of visitors. CEOs, government leaders, and community leaders have all made a point to see this new and novel solar system/sculpture/thing. This is exactly the type of benefit we are trying to bring to our Certified Integrator partners. It comes down to delivering new value to commercial buyers of solar.
One CEO and community leader who visited our installation today looked up at it and said “Now, I get it!” He was the latest of several to say the same thing. They get that a visible and striking solar system will start conversations among visitors to a property — about clean energy, the environment, and the positive impact measures the property owner has taken. And thus, the property will be differentiated, the owner will earn a reputation for leadership, and more people will consider solar power.
We installed our new product, Lift, at the offices of Southern Energy Management in Raleigh-Durham, NC. SEM has been a fantastic partner, and was our first Spotlight Solar Certified Integrator.
Many thanks to Budway (really), Jimmy, and Nate for doing a first rate job with something brand new and novel — in the bitter cold and rain no less. We started off on a bad foot by asking them for a pre-build planning meeting right before Christmas, starting at 5:00. But they brought a great attitude (typical of Southern Energy), and made the job in January look easy.
In fact, the installation was remarkably easy. The team had to think things through for the first time, so that took a little time, but everything went together well on the first try. Credit to Rob Surra, Spotlight’s leader of product development, for a great design that prioritizes installation.
Thanks as well to Max, David B, James, and JJ at Southern Energy Management. And most of all, thanks to Bob and Maria Kingery, co-founders of SEM, for their unwavering support of Spotlight Solar. They run a terrific company that serves customers, and higher purposes, extremely well. We’re privileged to have their partnership.
