We are grateful for her dedication and commitment to the Company and wish her all the best as she embarks upon her next chapter.”
Tech continued, “We appreciate Sarah’s contributions and are confident she will find continued success as an early stage investor in companies that are creating a decarbonized global economy. Through her firm, Voyager Ventures, Sarah is making a difference in the world. We look forward to seeing many successful ventures from her in the years ahead.”

We are positioned to be a leading provider of solutions to help homeowners create a cleaner and more sustainable future. The Company appreciates all the hard work from the team to transition the Company into a pure play distributed energy platform that maximizes investor value," said Mr. Hayes. “I am particularly grateful for the leadership contributions from Deb and Sarah over the years.”
