Wednesday, 17 Apr, 2013 | Leave a comment Dear reader, the Renewable Energy Industry is in turmoil. Bosch, for example, after losing 1 Billion €uros (~ 1.3 Billion AUD) in 2012, bailed out the Solar Panel Manufacturing Industry. So did Love Energy (my former employer), which got into financial trouble and went into administration (yes, they also stocked Bosch Solar Panels). During my ICT Supervisor -role at Love Energy I: Supported all User's request. Maintained Active Directory and all other User-centered solutions (Assets, Phone System, Passwords, Datacenter, etc.). Designed and deployed SMA Solar PV Monitoring solutions. Lead the JMS Task Force (JMS was Love Energy's custom CRM - at the center of the solar business processes). Responded and intervened during off-hours alarms. My 30+ colleagues were all nice and supportive and by working hard I gained Management respect. After the Xmas holidays, the Australian Gov.t reduced the Small Scale Technology Certificates' value, so many Solar Businesses had to review their future growth plans. Love Energy tried to adjust its legal system to cope with the Gov.t changes. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to suffice either. Righto, back to the drawing board... Please contact me if your business (or employer) requires a new ICT Support Technician (as per Trades Recognition Australia positive skills assessment). Have a good one, Andrea. Related
