The TH Interview: The Home Depot’s Green Man, Ron Jarvis (Part 1)
Thursday, November 29th, 2007
The Home Depot is reluctant to call itself a green company—maybe because of the contradictions built into being the country’s second largest retailer—but green has indeed become a guiding light for this 90-billion-dollar corporate behemoth. The company has partnered with BP in California to make home solar a plug-and-play item, has made alliances with universities to advance energy efficiency, and is working hard to peddle its Eco Options line, a series of products screened to meet standards of sustainable forestry, energy efficiency, clean water, and healthy homes. Ron Jarvis is the green man in the orange apron, and he’s at the front lines of this amorphous and very hot topic that is mega-corporate sustainability.

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007The solar industry is itching to bring PV to grid parity with fossil sources of energy, and the burden of this task is carried primarily by manufacturers and politicians. This week, we’re talking with two different types of manufacturers about their methods of lowering the cost of PV and how the recent debacle over the energy bill in Washington may impact their business.
Firstly, Charlie Gay, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the Solar Business Group at Applied Materials talks to us about the company’s new SunFab integrated thin film manufacturing line. Charlie has had a long career in the solar industry, and he’ll talk about primary trends in the cost reduction of PV.
Secondly, Denis Du Bois of Energy Priorities Magazine has an interview with Bob Ford, CEO of Solaicx, a manufacturer of monocrystalline silicon ingots and wafers. Bob will tell us about Solaicx’s advanced manufacturing technology, how the company plans to scale up operations, and the importance of the investment tax credit for the solar industry.
