I live just outside of Salt lake City, Utah in a city called Bountiful. I want to start my own pv system biz. I have interested commercial building and residential owners. I also have contractors ready to become involved in installation. I am sort of at a stand still on what to do as far as start up cost. I am a person that really wants to help make a difference in the betterment of our environment. I have always had an interest in solar power. I think i have enough knowledge of the process to get people interested in purchasing a system both residential and commercial. I need to get pricing info and some funding tips. Thank you very much!

Chinese manufacturers are unnecessarily diluting the third world market. There should have minimum restriction on their style otherwise they will deprive the quality panel manufacturers and the customers as well.

Sir,
I will like to introduce you to a business that can change both of our life. My boss wants to come to India and buy some chemical for animal drugs and we can get this chemical only in India.
I will give you the contact of the local dealer in India so that you can buy from them and sell to my boss at a very high price. The local dealer is selling the chemical at the rate of $35,000 dollars and my boss will buy it from you at the rate of $65,000 dollars per one liter Gallon. And you and I will share the gain you will make from my boss.
If you are interested I will forward the full contact of my boss to you, so that you can contact him for more discussion regarding the business and I will still give you the contact of the local dealer in India.
I’m waiting to hear from you.
