SolarAcademy

Day 1

Dear family, friends, and colleagues,

In the past years, many of you heard me talk about my intention to start a learning platform called SolarAcademy – something like Khan Academy for the solar industry and more.

Over the past decade, we held numerous and lengthy debates at CivicSolar about whether or not to do this within CivicSolar. Well, now that CivicSolar has found a good home, the day has come.

Better late than never.

Today, I am reaching out to you to let you know that we are officially launching SolarAcademy with the intention to create a platform where property owners and solar industry professionals meet to learn from each other about how to more efficiently and more collaboratively create local sustainable energy solutions for their buildings and communities.

At CivicSolar, we were great at providing deep technical knowledge to contractors about solar energy equipment. And, we made money by selling equipment.

At SolarAcademy, our intention is to further expand and accelerate this know-how flow and learning. We plan to provide most of this information for free while monetizing a small percentage of the information and offering some marketing services at modest rates.

At SolarAcademy, we plan to test some new ways of doing business.

If you are reading this and wondering how SolarAcademy can help you or vice versa, we urge you to check out some of the sections at SolarAcademy.com. Feel free to reach out to us by replying to this email.

One final note about our long term intention. Our intention is that SolarAcademy evolves into a social learning platform which will be about accelerating the “power transition of humanity”. What we mean by power transition is not only the move from dark/fossil fuels to light/clean energy (mostly solar + batteries) but also the move from a paradigm of “power over others,” to a paradigm of “power with others”… through accelerated learning and sharing of knowledge.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Kerim
