WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp (WWAT.OB), a leading developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, announced that the company has elected Scott Albertson to serve as the Vice President and General Manager of ENTECH, Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary. The previously announced merger with ENTECH was completed on January 28, 2008, enabling WorldWater to start producing one of the world’s lowest-cost, high-value solar solutions.
Mr. Albertson will be responsible for managing the business operations of ENTECH. Since his initial role with the company, Alberston has been focused on developing construction lines for ENTECH’s 20X cells. The ENTECH concentrator solar cell produces 20 times the energy of a standard solar cell by using its proprietary optics and lenses.
Previous to this position, Mr. Albertson served as the Vice President of BP Solar – responsible for Quality and Reliability Systems, Logistics and New Business Development. Prior to this position, Mr. Alberston was employed with Corning Incorporated, serving as General Plant Manager and Business Unit Leader. Mr. Albertson is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a B.S. degree in engineering, mathematics and operational analysis.
Dr. Frank W. Smith, CEO of WWAT, stated, “Now that the merger with ENTECH is complete, Scott will be able to shift into full production in order to deliver on schedule the quantities needed to equip the large solar farms and distributed commercial energy we are negotiating to build in the U.S., Spain and Italy. We expect these modules to change the economics of solar system installations.”
