GP: Re: renewable energy comany?

[John Canivan <canivan@optonline.net>]

Hi Matt
I think it's wonderful that you've decided to apply your business expertise
to the field of renewable energy.
Have you ever thought about solar hot water systems. I've heard they are the
most cost effective with the quickest payback.  Not everyone would be a good
candidate for solar hot water because of roof orientation and so on, but
there are a growing number of viable candidates.
I have a simple high quality solar hot water system that I'd like to find a
world market for. Is there some way you can help me set up a licensing
agreement for people who would like to manufacture and install this system.
At this time I am just selling a book called "How to Build a Solar Hot Water
System".
Many people have a interest in solar but they don't have the time or skills
necessary to build and install there own system. A licensing agreement could
create jobs for skilled manufacturers and installers all over the world.
Any ideas on how to promote something like this?
