On Tuesday, September 16, 2008 Jon Costanza was honored, with other Pennsylvania 'Green Power Heros,' at a PennFuture luncheon in Philadelphia. In front of a crowd of PA renewable energy enthusiasts and activists, Jon was recognized for his 33+ years of experience and dedication to the solar industry in Pennsylvania.
He was awarded the "Green Power Pioneer" award for his "continued efforts to grow the solar energy industry in Pennsylvania and participation in the Great Green Jobs Campaign."
Jon's award was well deserved and it was wonderful to see him recognized for his commitment and hard work.
Other winners included the Phillies, the Pittsburg Children's Museum and several organic farms for their promotion and use of renewable energy. Several PA power companies that sell large amounts of wind and solar power were also awarded. Optimism and anticipation defined the mood of the luncheon, as we celebrated the growth of solar and wind and other environmental achievements in our state.
All of us at SunPower are thrilled to see the rise in use and increasing mainstream conciousness of solar energy in Pennsylvania. It's time to go solar!
