GreenRay Solar Appoints Mark Goodreau as VP of Sales & Business Development

WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

GreenRay Inc., a Massachusetts-based solar start up, announced today that Mark Goodreau has been appointed to the role of Vice President of Sales and Business Development. Goodreau will lead global sales and business development strategy and execution for GreenRay.

The company has hired Goodreau to drive the sales growth of GreenRay's AC module systems through solar dealers including PV system installers, roofers, electrical contractors, retailers, and others emerging channels. Goodreau will also be responsible for developing relationships with module manufacturers, electric utilities, and other strategic partners to deliver fully integrated AC module solutions.

Prior to joining GreenRay, Goodreau spent four years in the photovoltaic industry, most recently as President of Gloria Spire Solar, a joint venture between solar industry pioneer Spire Corporation and Taiwanese module manufacturer Gloria Solar. Prior to this, Goodreau worked at Spire Corporation as General Manager of their solar systems business unit. Under his leadership, Gloria Spire was formed and developed into a strong national player in the commercial PV system market.

Mr. Goodreau brings twenty years of experience with fast-growing technology companies to his role at GreenRay. In addition to his executive positions in the solar industry, Mr. Goodreau has held senior marketing and business development roles at Hasbro Interactive, a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc., and PictureTel Corporation. He began his career in the semiconductor industry with Texas Instruments.

"Mark brings tremendous experience and industry knowledge to the company, and we are very excited to have him leading our efforts to build strategic business relationships," said Miles C. Russell, CEO of GreenRay, Inc. "As we head into market launch of the SunSine AC Module, Mark is in the prime position to help drive our success."

GreenRay calls its flagship product the SunSine AC module the “world’s first solar appliance” because it integrates into a single package the separate components found in typical photovoltaic (PV) systems such as the PV panel, grid tie inverter, mounting hardware, and wiring. Each SunSine AC module contains a proprietary micro inverter that converts the sunlight the unit collects into AC electricity which is then fed into the electrical distribution panel supplying power to the home.

GreenRay is launching its patented AC module system in mid-2010.
