Today I officially became the CEO of Decasun LLC.
Decasun is a solar panel company. More specifically we are a HCPV solar company that is making standard sized rooftop panels that can do two axis tracking with no external moving parts and mount just like normal panels. Which means nothing to you if you don’t follow solar panel technologies, however, just remember we make an extremely efficient panel, that is easy to install, at a very low price which = super cheap electricity.
Now some may ask why join a business in a field that is seemingly very crowded and overfunded? My answer, “It works.” I see the technology working in the sun everyday. The founders and engineers just get it - they come from the hard drive industry and understand how to design products for low cost and high performance. And the problems we are solving are not fundamental science questions but rather manageable mechanical design and manufacturing issues. Decasun is not reinventing the wheel - we are cleverly assembling parts differently than the other guys and layering in our novel optical designs (our secret sauce). The demand for cheap electricity will never go away - so if we deliver on price and performance - the market will be there.
Well day one is over. Great first day - fantastic team - funky offices - lots of stuff to learn and tons of fun. I even got to meet with some potential investors.
Oh and those who know me know - the name will probably change:)
Congratulations Paul! Awesome news.

Congratulations Paul, I know this is something you have worked towards for a little while. Now if you and I could come up with solar powered digital comics...the world would shudder. :)

Fabulous, Paul! I wish you much success in your new business! I have solar panels, and our bill went from $800 a month to ZERO! Totally worth the investment!

Buildings are not cheap and not everyone can buy it. Nevertheless, loan are created to support people in such cases.
