The People at New England Solar Electric

New England Solar Electric Inc. probably sells more home PV systems and gas refrigerators than any retail alternative energy business this side of Colorado. We keep our prices low. By keeping a low overhead and a small efficient staff, we still offer all the technical backup you will need. We stock most of the items we sell for quick delivery. We carry selected inventory (that which requires delivery by common carrier) at factory distributors. This way we own it but do not have to ship it from this location. This cuts down on labor without increasing the delivery time to you.

People always want to know more about us, our backgrounds, our expertise, and life-styles.

The most likely person to answer the phone here, will be Steve Schulze. Steve is married to Elizabeth Schulze, an artist and art teacher who specializes in fiber arts. They live in Worthington with their two children. Steve graduated from Drexel University in 1969 with a degree in electrical engineering. After graduation he moved to Boston where he worked as a design engineer, specializing in electronic packaging and printed circuit design. In the middle seventies he became a part owner in his current homestead. He soon moved to Worthington and set up his own engineering company. Steve is the one who will answer all your technical questions about the installation and use of solar electric systems.

The next most likely person to talk to you is Mary-Beth O'Shea-Noonan. She took over as office manager for Debbie in the Fall of 2002. Mary-Beth makes sure everything that must get done gets done! Its through her effort, in conjunction with our computerized invoicing system, that your orders are processed and shipped so promptly.

Mary-Beth Noonan has a BA in History and an MA in Elementary Education. She lived for 10 years in Ireland growing organic vegetables for market and making stained glass windows with her husband. Returning to the US in 1985 she taught second grade for many years and then worked as a wax chaser for a bronze sculptor. She has had two books of poetry published. Her passion for draft horses has resulted in owning two teams with a friend, that she uses for wagon rides and competitive pulling contests. She lives in Worthington with her husband and daughter.

Peter Webber joined our staff in late fall of 1996 after having helped and worked with a number of small businesses in the greater Boston area. In addition to learning a great deal about the solar industry he is doing much of the work in the shipping department. Peter is also working with the inventory database, helping to convert to a new more efficient system. From time to time you may speak with Peter on the phone. When you do, you will recognize him to be a courteous and intelligent helper. He has the utmost respect for all customers realizing that customers are the ones who allow it to all happen.
