Boots on the Roof Alumni Succeed in the Solar World!

September 12, 2009

Welcome back, dedicated reader! Thanks for visiting.






The opportunities in solar energy are there.  We’re proud to say that Boots on the Roof Alumni are making an impact and becoming successful in their new roles.  After taking classes and learning  to install, design and sell solar energy to homeowners and business, our alumni go out into the country and either build up their current business into solar businesses or get hired by a green business. 

 One of our own alumni, Geoff Mirkin is accomplishing a lot in the solar energy market!  Geoff and his partner, Al Gleeson, started their own business, Solar Energy World – check them out!  This company designs and installs photovoltaic solar panels and hot water heaters.   Geoff took classes at Boots on the Roof!   He enhanced his knowledge and learned how to install solar panels.  Then, he went out to the world of solar and applied his skills. Geoff is even featured in the Maryland gazette. Geoff is not the only person in Maryland to be successful in the solar market industry.  Maryland claims leadership in clean energy and energy efficiency policies and programs.  Claim away!  This puts more Marylanders to work through the creation of green collar jobs!  We like this idea.  Keep it up. 

Boots on the Roof alumni are doing an awesome job opening up the solar industry. They have accomplished a lot in a short amount of time and are well on their way to opening the industry even more.  You can sign up on the blog and check out the highlights in the newsletter to keep up with many accomplishments of the Boots on the Roof Alumni.

The solar revolution-  a real exchange of money for goods, a real economy, tangible change you can see to believe.  You too can take on the challenge to join in the renewable energy revolution.  Clean energy and green building are just beginning, get in while the getting’s good.
