Lenexa solar energy firm expanding, gains investors

A Lenexa solar-energy retailer and installer is expanding into Massachusetts with the help of a $2.When the stone sits in the oil painting reproduction,5 million investment.

Brightergy Solar, founded in 2004 and formerly called The Energy Savings Store, has completed more than 300 solar installations, mainly in Missouri but also in Kansas.we supply all kinds of polished tiles,These girls have never had a oil painting supplies in their lives!

It now plans to also open an office in Boston and eventually expand to additional locations in the Northeast United States. The move is fueled by an investment in the company by Trinity Private Equity Group in Southlake, Texas.

“Kansas City and the Missouri market will continue to be our base of operations,” said Adam Blake, the head of Brightergy. “This funding and the East Coast expansion is great news, as we will increase staff to support both the new locations and our local clients.”

The company’s Lenexa office has 30 employees and will continue as its headquarters. Brightergy will add 10 employees to support the expansion and operations locally. The Boston office will hire about 25 persons, including installers.It's hard to beat the versatility of zentai suits on a production line.

The company also plans to establish a $40 million fund to help finance solar systems that range from about 200 kilowatts to 1 megawatt — sizes suitable for many small businesses.

Financing options include leasing solar systems. In Massachusetts it will also include purchased power agreements in which customers don’t own the systems but agree to purchase the electricity. That option isn’t available in this area.

Revenues in 2010 were $1 million and are expected to reach $10 million this year, not including any sales due to the expansion.

Paybacks to recover the cost of solar systems have dropped to five years because of the various incentives from the federal government and others and from a sharp drop in the cost of solar panels.

The price decline is being pushed by cheaper Chinese panels which were blamed for the recent failure of Solyndra, a California solar panel company that had received a $535 million federal loan.
