    SOLAR BIGGIE INTEGRATING VERTICALLY

    This is similar to when oil giants like Standard Oil, Phillips and Gulf started buying up retail [service] stations in the 1920s.

    The next question: How big can a solar energy company get?


    Electron Solar Energy Expands To Include Installation Services; Installation Team Now Available Anywhere In The World, Creates New, High-Margin Revenue Stream
    October 11, 2007 (Business Wire via Yahoo Finance)

    WHO
    Electron Solar Energy (Christopher Quinn, President/CEO)

    The Eletron Solar online store offers all these services -- and there's just enough room in the lower right corner to add buttons for installation and maintenance services. (click to enlarge)

    WHAT
    Electron Solar Energy, international distributor, launched a solar energy system installation operation.

    WHEN
    - New service operation launched October 11.
    - 2011: 67,492 homes with photovoltaic (pv) solar energy systems expected, 4 times the 2006 number.
    - 2006 spending on solar pv: $61.5 million. 2007: $185.2 million projected. 2010: $409.9 million projected.

    WHERE
    Electron Solar Energy, based in Miami, Florida, has operations in nearly 20 countries.

    WHY
    - Electron Solar Energy sells its own sealed batteries, inverters, converters, Solar Panels, Related components, and gas and diesel generators.
    - Installation teams to be in-house. Electron Solar Energy intends to thereby control service quality and price. “One-stop shopping” is expected to make solar energy more accessible.

    Electron Solar also operates this concentrating solar installation in Spain.

    QUOTES
    - Quinn: "By providing an end-to-end supply chain for the incorporation of solar paneling for electricity, we expect to open up new opportunities to improve the customer experience, while creating a new high-margin revenue stream for the Company…Domestic customers can receive a fast on site project cost estimate and installation, while international customers can reserve the team for several days to oversee pre-planned project installations abroad…With our installation services in place, we can readily capitalize on the anticipated rapid growth of at-home solar energy deployment, regardless of the size of the residence or where it is located…"
