CEGA Putting Contractors in SoCal to Work

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- California's high unemployment is not a mystery; the US job market has been in a rapid tailspin since the 2007 recession. Nationwide unemployment climbed from 4% in 2000 to 9.1% in 2011 (Bureau of Labor Statistics), and needs real innovation in order to change. This trend is especially acute here in California, where the unemployment rate is currently at 11.7% (calmis.ca.gov), the pressure is increasing to create good paying jobs and put Californians back to work. To aid in the rejuvenation of the California job market, CEGA, a solar consulting and engineering firm out of Los Angeles is taking steps to provide jobs through an innovative new market approach.

CEGA finds its niche in the ever-growing world of solar energy. Through CEGA's Solar Affiliate Program, CEGA unites its team of financial strategists and engineers with electrical installation companies across California to provide affordable solar energy to the region. In the process, the installation companies are being provided with the tools to implement and streamline solar projects, getting more work in today's weakened job market.

CEGA lays out the groundwork of design, financing and equipment of the Solar Projects, making it possible for its affiliate companies to work with their customers and provide installations with an edge on their competitors. CEGA's strategy has shown remarkable success in a short time, with an addition of 45 installation contractors and over 250 projects as a clear indication of its effectiveness.

"It just made sense, CEGA can do the bidding and we can stay focused on our job–installing."  – Kevin Fanning, CEO FannCo

FannCo Energy, from the Fresno area, joined CEGA to branch out into the solar industry and within its first year received several solar installation jobs - including a 145KW PG&E commercial project which is currently breaking ground. Going from a declining business in industrial construction to the vibrant world of solar energy, CEGA is helping reinvent their company with a new energy. CEO of FannCo Energy, Kevin Fanning is pleased with the results, stating: "I expect to expand through this year with CEGA, we foresee 5 to 10 times more projects in 2012". Through its innovative approach, CEGA is doing its part in fueling the Californian and US job market, and taking its affiliates along for the ride.
