a third visit to Etopia Media's Solar World by Robert Liden, EVP and General Manager, Stirling Energy Systems

San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) yesterday signed the second of two big solar energy deals recently won by Phoenix-based Stirling Energy Systems.

To assess the importance and implications of this deal for the future of solar energy in the U.S. and worldwide, Etopia Media's Solar World spoke this afternoon with Robert Liden, EVP and General Manager at Stirling Energy Systems, about this agreement and what it means.
