New Job!
It’s been a while since my last blog entry, but that’s been mainly because I’ve been busy doing the things that I could be blogging about. It’s been hard to blog while studying in my Solar Technology-turned-PV System Design class, and just as it was ending I landed myself a new job!
I now work as a solar specialist at Sundogs Solutions, a company that does home performance, weatherization, renewable energy, and green building. We are working to expand the solar side of our business, and thus I find myself playing an important role in the company. I just started on May 10 and already I have a ton to do!
It’s been great so far, and it’s exciting where I will soon be headed. I will be in charge of both solar thermal and PV installations. I’ve already done my first PV design project, coming up with the system and pricing it down to the last screw.
I can’t wait to get solar on more homes and businesses. Everyday I walk around and see empty rooftops that would be prime real estate for solar panels. There is so much space! Business will be neverending, and so will my work. So stay tuned for my next blog entry…it might be a while.
What it’s like to start a new blog
I’ve been thinking of starting a blog for a long time now. It wasn’t until my husband suggested that I do a blog that the idea finally began to take shape. I tried thinking of what I could write about that would be of relevance to people, since my interests tend to be rather narrow and not so popular compared to the topics of most blogs (physics, ecology, etc.). So I settled on writing a green blog – I thought the topic would be broad enough to give me a chance to incorporate some of my other fields of interest – while not boring my readers to death with the topics that are so dear to me.
The Place Where Green Ideas are Born
So that’s the tagline of my blog; it’s meant to capture the fact that every word on this blog originates from a creative event somewhere in my head. Read more…
