Cleantech Geek Thoughts on the Move Series – At this series I will be producing short videos on the move from various locations. On this series I will be giving you my thoughts on issues that startups and companies face. From sales, marketing and leadership to sustainability and carbon footprint reduction. I will be sharing with you my point of view, my experiences, insights and personal leanings.

At this video I am discussing about the necessity of developing sales processes that you and your team can follow and the importance of selling on value and not on price or time. You do that, by demonstrating that you clearly understand the problems of your clients and by providing them with a methodology and a road-map of how you will solve their problems with your products or services. So my advice, create sales processes that you and your team can follow, understand the problem you are solving and provide a clear pathway of how you will do that! Sell on value not on price? Please watch the video and leave your comments below!

I will be sharing with you my point of view, my experiences, insights and personal leanings.

At this video I am discussing about a common mistake that many early stage startups do. We see more early stage startups concentrating on pitching for investment, running from pitching event to pitching event and completely neglecting sales which is the only thing that will sustain them and allow them to grow. Furthermore market validation through sales is guaranteed to bring in investors. So my advice, stop pitching for investment and start selling! Please watch the video and leave your comments below!

Solar Asset Management: Why it needs to evolve

/in , , /by

by Ypatios Moysiadis

The solar industry has entered a new age of maturity. New opportunities and challenges are knocking on our door.  Conventional oil companies are racing to become the world’s biggest power firms. All the while utilities are looking to diversify their assets away from fossil fuels to cleaner and easily deployed renewable energy assets. Infrastructure funds are investing in solar and larger institutional investors want a slice of the market as it offers a predictable income for the long-term future.

With the massive reduction in solar project expenditure, we see new countries investing in solar and  “old markets” remerging in Europe, such as Spain, Italy and France. Asset owners are now faced with the new challenge of managing assets across different geographies, with different regulatory and environmental challenges, not to mention different business models (subsidised, power purchase agreements (PPAs), pure merchant, etc.).

This creates a perplexing scenario for service companies and, in particular, solar asset managers.

In order to assist service companies and asset managers’ transition to this new solar reality, asset management needs to evolve.
