Dear Solar Depot and DC Power customers,
BP Solar CEO, Mike Petrucci, announced that BP Solar will shift its strategic direction to focus on large-scale project development activities and will exit the distributed sales business by the end of 2011. As module inventories sell-out, BP Solar modules will no longer be available through distributors or to independent sales or installation businesses.
This is a global decision, made after extensive study and consideration of how BP Solar can best achieve its long term goals. This initiative will provide a tighter focus on an important area of growth in the solar market, and one in which BP Solar has a distinct advantage due to its capability and expertise in large-scale design, development and project management.
Importantly, you should feel confident that BP Solar warranties are unaffected and that BP Solar will continue to support their warranties within the restructured organization. BP Solar will meet all warranty obligations to distributors, installers and end customers.
The team at BP Solar would like to extend their gratitude and heartfelt thanks for all your support, your business, and your friendship.
Solar Depot & DC Power Systems, BP's largest distributor, has BP modules in stock to support all projects that have been designed with those modules. New project orders will be fulfilled as long as stock remains. Speak to your Solar Depot or DC Power salesperson to reserve the quantity you require.
Daniel Marino
COO

They are exiting the US market - so much for Obamaeconomics.- high tech future.
What a shame and a blackeye - especially for Marylanders. They were a cornerstone industry for Frederick County, Maryland.
They had a presence in Frederick since 1980 - 31 years. Another Maryland firm bites the dust!

Another one of the obamaeconomics down the drain!
Just could not convince the kool aid drinkers of that last election.
translation,
we the tax payers will no longer pay you to produce and then profit from solar energy.
buy your own darn materials !'Oh, thats right , its not actually profitable that way.
GoodBye
I'll tell you something about the Obama Administration. If Obama officials don't stop insulting the British and also keep pressing for outlandish penalties for the gulf disaster - we citizens here in the US might just find next war being waged against the British.
I thought that one of Obama's key campaign pledges promised better relations with the rest of the world. We'll now - you can 'nip that promise in the bud' as he has distroyed that premise.
BP is going union and supplying only Gov't contracts. That's because if every Tom, Dick, and Harry had their own solar installer fill their roof with panels, the government wouldn't hold the winning hand in the cost of energy! This kills small business and keeps us all beholdin' to the GRID.
Wake up, people, and get your solar panels up soon!
