INDUSTRY INNOVATOR
As an energy provider whose earnings are
dependent on system performance, Main
Street Power has a vested interest in optimiz-
ing power production. Hinckley and oth-
ers at the company are keenly aware of new
technology and methodologies that could
lead to greater efficiencies in solar products.
He is encouraged by research relating to
augmentations known as “optimizers,” which
connect to each solar panel to help balance
communications between the modules, and
optimizing (or increasing) the output of
electricity. Main Street Power’s future is
focused on staying at the forefront of solar
industry. With successful installation expe-
rience and valued customer relationships,
Main Street Power has not only generated
a reputation for service and quality, but has
proof of the economic and environmental
benefits they provide.
Having cut their teeth in the North
American commercial and residential mar-
kets, Main Street Power is now looking to
enter the international marketplace for new
opportunities. In China and India alone
there are more than 1.2 billion people, and
as these countries continue to grow, so too
will the need for more energy. That demand,
coupled with diminishing natural resources
around the world, compels the delivery of
new energy alternatives to power generation.
