Business Facilities - October 2008 - (Page 9) Hot Spot for Solar ith an average of 321 days of sun, a high semiconductor workforce concentration, and a lower cost of doing business compared to California, Greater Phoenix is emerging as a leader in the solar industry. Greater Phoenix is now the world’s fourth largest solar market and is home to companies such as American Solar Electric, Green Ideas, Inc., ETA Engineering Inc., Kyocera Solar, Inc., and First Solar. In June 2008, California-based SolarCity, one of the fastest growing solar power companies in the country, announced it is expanding its operations in Phoenix. The company is transferring regional operations to a new 8,200-square-foot facility, which it plans to use as a base to install solar electricity systems for area businesses and residents. “SolarCity is an innovative company, and its unique SolarLease program will promote and accelerate the adoption of solar across the region,” says Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) President and CEO Barry Broome. GPEC, comprised of 18 communities, Maricopa County, and more than 140 private-sector companies, serves as a catalyst to strengthen the region’s economic base and promote Arizona’s sustainable industry. Its efforts are helping create high-wage jobs, while generating foreign direct investment. Last year, GPEC’s international sales missions drew four sustainable U.K. companies to open sites in Greater Phoenix, generating more than 1,000 jobs and $11 million in capital investment. In addition, Abengoa Solar, an energy company from Spain, is participating in a proj- W ect in Greater Phoenix that will produce enough energy to serve 70,000 people. Last month, GPEC launched the Greening Greater Phoenix Pow- ered by SolarCity initiative with a goal to draw more national and international renewable energy companies to the region.
