We brought it, we rocked it, we won it. Inovateus’ own Rev. Ray and the Everlasting Incentives took top honors at the sixth annual Solar Battle of the Bands during Intersolar North America 2016 in San Francisco. The music from all the bands was great and the competition was fierce fun, but our boy-band flavored funk ‘n’ roll captured the hips …
Inovateus has enjoyed some solid local and regional media coverage over the past several years. We’re keen on getting the good word out about solar in our own area, so we’re happy when Midwest-based journalists write about what we’re doing or include us as sources in their stories. The latest local news coverage focuses on our project at Michigan State …
Nothing is more American than the Fourth of July. The national holiday celebrating our revolutionary past and declaration of independence from the English brings us together in a pyrotechnic-fueled burst of patriotic fervor. Here at Inovateus, July 4th also reminds us that we are involved in a modern revolution—the solar revolution—proudly helping to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to …
The onset of late spring and early summer not only signals the welcome annual warming trend, but the arrival of energy fair season in the Midwest. After making the trip to Wisconsin for the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair, members of the Inovateus Solar team attended another fair closer to our Michiana homes—the Michigan Renewable Energy Fair—on June 24-25. Founded in 2007, …
Many of those walking around the Energy Fair in bucolic Custer, Wisconsin, were regulars who had attended many previous events. But for us first-timers, the down-home get-together of thousands of activists, businesspeople and just plain folks was a refreshingly grasssroots affair. Celebrating its 27th year, the annual fair put on by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) gathered together an interesting cross-section of people and …
Intersolar North America, the first of the two annual U.S. solar industry main events, takes place July 12-14 in San Francisco—and key members of the Inovateus team will be there. Although we are not exhibiting this year, Inovateus will be spreading our message of building a brilliant tomorrow from the conference rooms to the tradeshow floor, from a live social …
As part of the Inovateus Solar blog, we’ll be giving readers regular updates about some of our solar projects, sharing a few details and photos about the progress. Between projects already under construction or about to have boots on the ground soon, Inovateus has more than 100 megawatts (MW) of utility, commercial and university solar power plant sites in the …
Imagine being surrounded by leaders from Fortune’s “Fastest Growing Companies” along with CEOs and executive team members of the country’s leading midsized firms. OK, are you there? Now imagine a line-up of speakers and presentations from some of the world’s leading business authors and entrepreneurs. As imaginative as I am, I prefer the real thing. Thanks to our forward-thinking approach …
Like many business owners in our solar partner network, we were once new solar installers, and I had to think about those early solar start-up years when I gave the keynote address to the new recipients of the “40 under 40” award in northern Indiana and southern Michigan a few weeks ago. I was honored to be awarded the “40 …
The GTM Solar Summit has become one of the most informative conferences on the circuit. The folks at Greentech Media put together a compelling program, combining market trend updates, topical panels, thought-provoking keynotes, and valuable networking opportunities. And for someone like me thawing out from the Midwestern winter, a strong dose of Arizona sunshine is an added bonus. My key …
As a national solar company based in Indiana, we love how solar power is growing in our own backyard, especially when it’s large megawatt-scale solar plants that will help transition the Midwest to cleaner power. We’d like to give a shout-out to Bloomington, Indiana-based generation and transmission (G&T) rural electric co-op Hoosier Energy, which is building 10 solar photovoltaic (PV) farms …
When most people think about IndyCars, solar isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But that could be changing with our new solar advocacy partnership with Indianapolis 500 racecar driver Stefan Wilson and his #ThinkSolar campaign. For the past several months, our Inovateus solar team has been advising Stefan on the campaign and its mission is to spread awareness …
