Customer Review

"To Whom it May Concern:

I would just like to share my gratitude regarding the installation of my solar array last Thursday and Friday.  Kevin was the Foreman, and I can say that he and his crew were a true class act.  Everyone involved worked hard, and they were all a pleasure to be around and deal with.  I took the day off of work to ensure that nothing would go wrong, but it was very clear to me that I did not need to be there.  Any issue that they ran into, they were able to solve.  They didn't take any shortcuts, and they took pride in their craftsmanship.

My array was up and producing around noon on Friday, and it seems to be working great.  I will be recommending Monolith to anyone that is thinking of going solar, and I will specifically recommend the crew you sent my way to be made part of their deal.

If you have any questions regarding what I have stated above, please do not hesitate to contact me."

Take care.

Why the Solar Industry Needs More Women

Today, women make up 51% of professional workers in the United States.  This is a major achievement from 1972, when women represented just 38 percent of the workforce.¹ Since then, many opportunities have opened for women in technical fields such as science, math and engineering.  According to the Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census, nineteen percent of all solar workers were women in 2013, representing 26,738 solar workers². The women at Monolith Solar Associates are proud to assist this upward trend of female workers in a male dominated industry.  With the solar industry at the brink of a major expansion in the United States, there are endless opportunities for women to thrive in this business.  In the last decade, the solar industry created 100,000 new jobs³. The renewable energy industry in general is a great opportunity for women all around the world.

Steve Erby, vice president of Monolith SolarAssociates, has two ambitious goals for the solar company to reach within the next year: Move into the Vista Technology Park by January and add up to 50 employees.

"January is a very aggressive move-in date, but I'm a very big believer in setting goals," Erby says.

Since the company started in 2009, operating out of Erby's garage, the size of its solar projects has grown. Monolith's new location in the Vista Technology Campus will feature a 2 million-watt system. During Monolith's early years, the largest project the company completed was a 25,000-watt system.The company will hire between 40 and 50 people, adding to the 60 current employees. That growth is driven by a number of large projects, including a solar farm for Rensselaer County. Monolith is also working on solar farms for Schenectady County and the Sage Colleges, among others.

"People are realizing solar is here to stay and it"s in for the long haul," Erby says.

MONOLITH'S OFFICE SPACE IN RENSSELAER IS OVERCROWDED, ERBY SAYS. THE 16,000-SQUARE-FOOT OFFICE SPACE AT VISTA WILL BE FOUR TIMES LARGER THAN THE RENSSELAER LOCATION.
