Akeena, Westinghouse Create Westinghouse Solar

The groundbreaking announcement of Westinghouse Solar, a newly formed partnership between Akeena Solar and the world wide brand name Westinghouse, has been hailed as a pivotal step in making solar energy more mainstream.

Here's what people are saying:

CBS News contributor and GreenTech Media editor-in-Chief writes that Westinghouse Solar "will bring a level of trust and comfort when it comes to buying solar."

Gartner Research explains that, "folks did not recognize most of the [solar] brands we mentioned to them, even the multinationals."Westinghouse Solar addresses that issue, and as CNBC reports, it receives "all the benefits of the years and money spent on building that brand and immediately leverages generations of messaging that was consistent and that spoke to quality."

In fact, Investor Business Daily reports that this "could start a trend."

Reuters says that Akeena is "putting all the pieces together that will make a very strong product as the solar industry moves from early adapters to mainstream consumers."

Finally, Renewable Energy World sums it up by saying that "the move is big -- it makes the panels instantly recognizable to millions of Americans. Combine that with the shelf space being provided by Lowes, and you have a "mainstream" product."

This announcement has been featured in financial and solar print, broadcast and online news outlets throughout the nation. Stay tuned as Westinghouse Solar begins to reach consumers this summer. In the interim, here is a video interview about this revolutionary announcement:
