To me, there is no better feeling in the world than taking the dancefloor on a groovy, percussive journey with an eclectic mix of sounds ranging from loungey downtempo to classic club anthems to rare tech house gems hidden in my record crates. Deejaying is both an art and a science, much like developing solar projects and contributing to the …

You wouldn’t think that solar and motorcycles go together, but my Inovateus solar poster was inspired by my love of being outside and soaking up some sun on the road. Of course, riding a motorcycle is an activity that doesn’t necessarily require the sun, but a beautiful sunny day definitely makes it a lot more enjoyable. In fact, if you ever …

When we started the Inovateus blog in May, we wanted it to be a source of solar news and information about the progress of our projects, as well as a source of thought leadership for the industry. But Inovateus is more than just a solar company, we’re also a team of devoted solar advocates with other talents and passions. As …

With the holidays just around the corner, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on some of the amazing accomplishments that made 2016 the best year yet for Inovateus, and thank everyone that made it possible. As you well know, Inovateus is comprised of a dedicated team of solar fanatics (if you have any doubts about this just take …

“Merciful Minerva!” was a phrase I was happily familiar with as a child. At five years of age, I was glued to the television set every Tuesday evening to watch my heroine, Wonder Woman, take on the bad guys and utter those words at least once an episode. Whether it was a catastrophic event or an individual taking advantage of the less …

As you might have noticed from previous solar poster people and events, we’re pretty musical here at Inovateus Solar, and that includes me. For more than 10 years, I’ve played guitar, and it remains one of my favorite things to do. I’m very fond of my gorgeous Taylor 414ce, which has a rich tone, great resonance and fluid action. I …

Solar is an international industry, and I’m an example of how countries are mutually supporting the solar (r)evolution. Since I’m an electrical engineer from Colombia, I joined Inovateus Solar for one month through the YLAI Fellowship program. YLAI, which stands for the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative, was started by the Obama Administration. The program places entrepreneurs from various countries …

My Inovateus solar poster was inspired by “da Bears.”  Not the big furry ones, but the ones who inhabit Soldier Field. I grew up an avid Chicago sports fan, and with all love and due respect to the Cubbies, I’ve been a huge Chicago Bears ever since I was a young cub. Like solar power, the Bears were long lasting, …

I recently attended the annual conference hosted by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). Hundreds of schools, vendors, and other interested parties came to the conference at the Baltimore Conference Center, which is located adjacent to the city’s picturesque inner harbor. The energy and enthusiasm at the event bode well for where the country’s colleges …

After months of phone calls, coffee and lunch meetings, and harnessing small world/Notre Dame community connections, we’re happy to announce the appointment of two outstanding individuals to the Inovateus Solar board of directors: Gary Gigot, co-founder and CEO of Vennli, and Tim Sutherland, founder, chairman and CEO of Middleburg Capital Development. These additions come at a significant turning point for …

From a young age, I have had an affinity for the outdoors, and over time that affinity has developed into a strong passion to protect the environment. My solar poster, “Solar Traveler,” captures my love of exploring the outdoors as well as my enthusiasm for solar energy all in one. During the summer of 2015, I embarked on a 100-day …

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays at Inovateus Solar. Not only do we enjoy being surrounded by family and friends and tucking into a nap-inducing feast of turkey with all the fixings, the holiday also offers a chance to reflect on what we are thankful for, both in our personal and professional lives. We are thankful for the Kokomo …
