CEO John Tuttle points the way forward
Wow. Two of my favorite companies in the news back to back = ) yay.
"We strongly believe that the global demand for non-fossil fuel energy solutions, the continued shortage of Silicon solar cells, the progress and experience we have achieved to date, and the support and encouragement from our stakeholders have converged to create a window of opportunity that has driven us to accelerate the deployment of our manufacturing capabilities. To accomplish this we have developed an execution plan that includes a number of near term achievable milestones. The purpose of releasing this plan to our Stakeholders is to provide a framework for monitoring our progress in the coming months and years." And the plan has been working out for them, as they are one of the newest shining stars of the solar world. So click and read up on the plan for the next phase of DayStar taking over! |

OK It's an article about Troy New York and their new Tech Valley. But who are the two examples of the turnaround and rebirth?? None other than DayStar and Plug Power! ...and if you've been reading this for anytime now, you know just how much i love these two companies!! So you can imagine how happy I was to read an article in the Troy Record, talking about both of these companies! Hmmm will there be a daystar solar powered electolyzer on the horizon? That would just be too kewl. |

Mr. Jack McCaffrey has been names to the position of Vice President of Manufacturing at good 'ol DayStar (who you probably know i dig so much!) He was Vice President of Manufacturing and Engineering at Evergreen Solar. As they say, his efforts helped Evergreen Solar transition from its pre-IPO origins to a successfully publicly-traded pure-play solar company, achieve production capacity growth from 250kW to 13 MW, and increase revenues from $400k to nearly $40 million in just over five years time ((not to mention that he was in charge of feedstocks while Evergreen was busy being incredible). Jack is the 43rd employee CEO Dr. John Tuttle has hired. They had 7 last year. |

| Commander Tuttle speaks out from the Day Star! |
[Sep. 8th, 2005|07:11 am] |
about a week ago i wrote something about how there is almost no SoG-Si (solar grade silicon) available and it's causing quite a few problems in the PV Solar industry
...well one of the shinning "stars" out there is DayStar Technologies they make silicon free solar panels. Some of their products are simply amazing and a nice new change from PV Panels which haven't changed much since the 70's. So I was pleased as punch to read a letter DayStar CEO, John Tuttle (no, not Buttle) wrote this week to his investors (and you aren't one yet... after you read this you may well be)
Fully acknowledging the SoG-Si dearth, he point to how this is amazing for his company and products. He mentions a deal with the German solar park builder Blitzstrom GmbH for 30MW of panels, a Chinese company who is picking up 500Kw (that's +5000 panels), and they're ramping up their production facilities as well... planning on producing 100MW/yr in their "Gen-III plant" (?)
Great news all around! Something to be happy about.... and we have this guy, John Tuttle to thank (no not the political looking guy in red tie, the happy guy), Thank you commander Tuttle of the DayStar!
