New Idea

A solar survey app that has been approved for sale on iTunes. The UK Solar Survey app for UK home owners uses the iPhone to do a "self survey" and see if energy consumption, orientation, shading, roof space and application are correct for PV. Consumers enter details about their property and use their finger to draw the obstructions and shading on the roof space, then the software's algorithms do the rest.

Andy Proctor, creator of the app, saw the iPhone as the best platform with it's built in compass and access to customers interested in PV with iTunes.

The benefit is an independent result that you can then compare with your quote from a PV company and interrogate the quote, the company and the price.

You can also check out the feasibility before contacting an installer, as well as selecting to have MCS installers contact you after seeing your results, should you choose to offer this information to the installers on the UK Solar Survey database of installers.

The UK Solar Survey website has more information and the app can be downloaded on iTunes.

The android and web-based version are due out Q4 of 2011

‘I am delighted to be heading up UK sales for Trina Solar, their commitment to quality and value was evident to me from my earliest meetings with them. As a career sales director I know your level of success is ultimately decided by the products and support you offer to clients. After extensively researching the PV market Trina Solar quickly became an obvious target for me. Clearly, we face challenging times with confusion around the UK FIT level and a global manufacturing consolidation in PV, it was on this basis I that I decided to join an organization that had the vision and commercial positioning to win through and establish itself as a market leader around the world over the next few years. Partnering with the right companies will be vital during these tumultuous times and I look forward to working with key UK industry stakeholders to achieve good outcomes. I am genuinely excited about expanding Trina Solar brand awareness in the UK and forging long term strategic partnerships to achieve greater market share across the segments.’

Rushin has 25 years+ in senior sales and business development positions and has spent the last 3 years as Business Development Director at Mark Group. Richard was responsible for all Public Sector sales activity across the UK mainland and specializes in Renewable Technologies.
