The spring 2009 issue of the National Research Defense Council's Onearth magazine features a cover story about Jigar Shah (BSME 1996), a devoted environmentalist and champion of market economics who built North America's largest and most successful provider of solar energy. The article, "How to Sell the Sun," describes how Shah made solar energy more viable by allowing customers to buy solar power without investing in expensive equipment.
