Powers said that Stellar Solar is proud to support the region's clean energy initiatives. "Meetings like this one are an important next step so that San Diego area leaders in government and industry can discuss specific strategies to implement a plan that can make this important goal a reality," said Powers. With regards to the solar tax credit set to expire in 2016 he added, "We would like to see it extended a few more years so that the economic engine that helped lift us up out of a recession in 2008 can continue running. Stellar Solar now has twice as many employees as we had two years ago. Like many of the solar companies in California, we have been creating new jobs at a breakneck pace. It would not be good for us or the California economy if companies like ours found it necessary to start laying off skilled workers, just when we were starting to get some momentum."
