Monday 03 April 2017

Sun Works has appointed Kevin Keen as a non-executive director.

The local technology company are Jersey’s only dedicated Solar Photovoltaic installer.

Mr Keen said: “It is rather ironic that the sunniest place in the British Isles is so far behind everywhere else in terms of the number of solar panels you see around.  I hope that I can help raise local awareness and at a time where there is such an international buzz around new battery technologies and electric transport and ensure that Sun Works is at the centre of those developments in Jersey. 

As well as a number of private houses, Sun Works have completed installations for a variety of establishments such as the new Co-op at Grouville, Homefield Growers at St. Clements, and D’Auvergne School.

They are also authorized installers for Tesla Powerwall batteries which can be used to store solar electricity production for use out of daylight hours.

Mr Keen added: “I really believe in solar power as a technology and am pleased that Sun Works have positioned themselves as an end to end provider organising everything from survey and design, through installation and integration of smart devices.” 

Speaking of Mr Keen’s appointment, Managing Director Mark Brandon commented: “Kevin has contributed a huge amount to many larger, established organisations, so we are delighted that he has accepted an appointment with a young company where the technology is constantly changing.  We believe he can offer us great perspective and experience.”
