Press release from: Solamon Energy Corporation Toronto Canada

(Toronto) — After completing an extensive executive search over these past few months since attending CREF, Solamon Energy Corp is proud to announce the appointment of Steve Kuiack to the position of Senior Vice President, effective immediately, to develop solar opportunities in the Cayman Islands. “The people we have spoken to who live in the Caymans are very receptive to solar power,” says Solamon CEO Graeme Boyce, “and we are extremely confident Steve will prioritize the market and ensure appropriate partnerships and resources are available for each anticipated project.”

Prior to joining Solamon’s senior team, Kuiack has enjoyed a diverse and distinguished entrepreneurial career spanning several notable and competitive industries around the world. He is a skilled communicator, recognized author and former broadcaster. His book “Let’s Talk Business” provides readers an intriguing investigative analysis examining 20 key topics, including Migrant Workers, Outsourcing, Copyright Piracy and Glocalization. While working in South Korea, Kuiack was presented the Distinguished Reporter Award by the former Prime Minister (Park Geun Hye) on behalf of the Hanvit Welfare Association, a Korean non-government organization focused on the historical and present treatment of those affected by Hansen’s Disease (leprosy).

Originally from Canada, Kuiack, now re-located in Georgetown, will report to Solamon President Jay Yeo and is set to focus on delivering solar array projects in the 2MW range. “We understand this will involve engaging government and business leaders in a healthy discussion about helping them transition the Caymans away from its oil-dependency to an independent economy fueled by renewable resources,” Yeo adds, “and this is why Steve is a perfect fit and, given our success together, we’ll continue to build a sustainable energy model for communities in the future.”

Specifically, Kuiack will review and explore existing opportunities to design Apollo Acre™ systems locally, whether ground mount, mobile, remote, rooftop or parking lot installations. Further, he will explore partnerships to ensure on-going operations, maintenance, and security.

A seasoned traveler, having originally embarked on a solo journey to visit 36 countries on 6 continents, Kuiack has now traversed 55 countries worldwide and augmented this experience by having worked or successfully established a business in four different cultures – North America, Oceania, Asia and Latin America. “We are confident that Steve will establish a market for our expanding line of solar product,” says Yeo, “and will likely follow-up on the nearby Western Caribbean islands when those opportunities present themselves.”

The company is excited not only to deliver turnkey power plants using renewable solar energy as a resource to Caribbean and Central American countries, but to also develop mutually beneficial and therefore long-term relationships. “It’s no secret, our executives are certainly looking for local partners to manage each new Apollo Acre™ array locally,” Yeo continues. “However, our partners must also be willing to establish and operate a suitable post-implementation training program, especially in collaboration with government agencies who’ve offered to provide standards and certification criteria.”

Solamon provides a fully managed solution for its Apollo Acre™, a turnkey process from beginning to end including site inspections, project design and development, as well as addressing requisite environmental and local permitting, 3rd party engineering, procurement and construction, as well as system testing and eventual commissioning, security and maintenance.

Solamon typically offers a ground-mounted solar array of integrated photovoltaic cells over 5 acre packages of land, which is called the Apollo Acre™. The company now also designs and installs custom solutions with local partners to provide roof-mounted and parking lot systems that could be easily augmented by micro wind turbine technology and other innovative features.

About Solamon: Solamon Energy Corp. sells integrated arrays of ground-mounted and rooftop photovoltaic cells. These solar power plants are connected by cable to varied transmission equipment, including converters, inverters and batteries, utilizing 5 acres of land per unit; each unit is called an Apollo Acre™. Additionally, it is expected the company’s business activities will spin-off many jobs locally, given engineering requirements, construction, unit commissioning and subsequent maintenance.

Solamon Energy publicly traded company based in Toronto, providing sustainable, renewable energy solutions to the Caribbean, and Central America.
