in the U.S. market,” Burkett explains.
Burkett has an extensive background in
the management of construction and con-
struction materials fabrication companies.
During his 20-plus-year career, Burkett has
sold, developed and financed a variety of
construction-related projects. At ESA Re-
newables, he is responsible for all aspects of
the company’s operations and performance,
including project sales, the company’s future
development, and their continuing opera-
tions.
Today, ESA’s shareholders include a large
bank as well as various independent inves-
tors. That kind of strong financial backing
gives ESA the capability to finance installa-
tions internally.
“We work with investors that want results
and a guarantee and return on their invest-
ment they’re looking for,” Burkett says. “We
work with financial institutes, take their in-
vestment and produce a targeted ROI for
them. We’ve given them the assurance and
responsibility that the projects are done in
accordance with all of the highest standards
available.” “Everyone respects the ESA brand
more because of what we’ve done and who
we’ve partnered with.”
