Akeena Solar, Inc. (OTC BB: AKNS), a designer and installer of solar power systems, has opened an Orange County regional office to serve the exponentially growing demand for solar energy among residential and commercial customers in the area. According to the California Energy Commission, the market for photovoltaic systems in Orange County has been experiencing an average 190 percent growth rate since 2003.
“Our stated goal has been to grow our revenues by opening up new offices in solar friendly regions. We opened an office last quarter in Fresno, California and this is our first new office in Southern California,” said Barry Cinnamon, Chief Executive Officer of Akeena Solar
“Over the past twelve months, Southern California Edison has increased its electricity rates three times, thus further heightening the demand for solar power systems,” said Cinnamon. “We believe demand in the Orange County area will continue to grow as energy prices continue to spiral upwards, the state government continues to offer economic incentives to ‘go solar,’ and the desire for alternative power sources with a low environmental impact continues to balloon.”
The new Akeena facility is located in Laguna Hills and the company has begun installing solar power systems in residences and small businesses in Orange County and surrounding areas.
