TURLOCK, Calif., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Solar Energy Partners, also known as SEP, a company that offers a ‘white glove’ service in researching, comparing, selecting, and installing residential solar panels today announced their merge with The Standard. This merger is set to accelerate SEPs already rapid growth, enabling the company to expand its footprint into several other states and offer its services to millions more throughout the country.

«We’re growing – and moving – incredibly fast, with the merger having already combined The Standard’s cutting-edge philosophies with SEPs pedigreed ‘smart game,'» says Alex Williams, Co-Founder at SEP. «As such, we now have hundreds of finessed, verifiable solar experts from The Standard working alongside SEP’s equally capable representatives to offer customers an even more bespoke experience across a number of states.»

Founded four years ago in Bakersfield, CA. by Todd Jensen, Brian Hutchings, and Brad Holm, The Standard solar energy company expanded into Texas last year. Since March of 2020, the organization has grown from 15 representatives to 150 with offices in Fresno, Bakersfield, San Diego, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston. As a result of the merger, SEP now has over 500 contractors in five states, which amounts to a 500% growth rate in the past year. 

«We are pleased to join forces with Solar Energy Partners as one entity to further the momentum that they’ve recently seen,» says Todd Jensen, Founder at The Standard. «In what was a challenging year for the solar industry, SEP went against the narrative and grew at an astounding rate. This demonstrates their ability to adapt to any business environment, due to the foresight of their entire leadership team.  Brian, Brad, and I look forward to the road ahead.»

Last year, the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic crisis, and the presidential election drew attention away from the topic of climate change and the importance of renewable energy. Buried in the news cycle were figures released by NASA, showing that 2020 came a close second to 2016 for the hottest year in recorded history, pushing 2019 to third place. With three of the hottest days in history taking place in the last five years, the need to switch to renewable energies like solar is more cogent than ever.

SEP aims to drive widespread adoption of solar energy through their ‘white glove’ offering, which negates the stress and hassle of home improvement projects in the renewable energy field and beyond. Their representatives specialize in helping homeowners understand the process of installation and operation of a solar energy system, determine potential savings identify tax credit,  state and federal grant opportunities, and handle the installation from start to finish.

Furthermore, SEP’s commitment to supplying the finest materials and latest technologies guarantees longevity and value for their customers. This includes premium solar panels with minimal degradation and comprehensive warranties to ensure the customer knows they’re not in for any significant financial surprises in the future, 24/7 system monitoring to mitigate the risk of malfunction, and after-sales care to ensure the system remains optimal in its operations. This is all delivered through both SEPs and The Standard’s top-shelf, personalized service model, with a low-key, comfortable sales approach.

«This is what sets SEP apart from other solar energy providers, as many only handle the installation process, providing little-to-no pre-sale or after sale care,» says Williams. «The assistance SEP provides from the start of the inquiry to the installation will ideally convince those who think switching to solar is ‘too hard’ to make the switch, because now we make it incredibly easy.»

It’s through this simple, customer-focused, no-hassle process and future mergers with other reputable solar companies that SEP aims to remain in-step with the solar industries’ growth which, according to projections from Allied Market Research should reach $223.3 billion by 2026, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 20.5 percent from 2019 to 2026.

About Solar Energy Partners

Based in Turlock, California, Solar Energy Partners (SEP) was founded by Alex Williams, Clint Williams, and Dave Madrid in the spring of 2017. With its Founders bringing more than two decades of experience across the solar industry, SEPs mission is to bring clean energy, abundant savings, and peace of mind through a simple, comprehensive process to every homeowner across the United States. As the solar revolution progresses, and as newer, more effective, and efficient solar technologies become available, SEP aims to lead in spreading this renewable resource across the world, reducing the need for fossil fuels and helping homeowners to do their part in curbing climate change, while also reducing their monthly energy costs.

WARRENTON, Va., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Having lost the presidency, the House of Representatives and the Senate, what can Republicans and other concerned people do to restore the liberties lost in the process?

Tom DeWeese, president of the American Policy Center, a grassroots action and education foundation dedicated to the promotion of free enterprise and limited government regulations over commerce and individuals, says they need to stop depending on one person — one icon — to lead them forward and take responsibility into their own hands by forming Freedom Pods in their communities. By Freedom Pods he means joining forces with a collection of local officials and citizens who share their values.

DeWeese says, «For several decades the radical left has been dedicated in its efforts to organize at every level of government while advocates of limited government failed to do the required ‘dirty work’ of local organization and activism to protect our freedoms. We gave the left a pretty clear playing field to organize and seize control, and now we are suffering under the result. For the dedicated left, no position was too small. No appointed board was ignored. When was the last time local conservative activists cared about positions like city attorney? Yet these are the very officials who are enforcing the COVID-19 lockdown policies, dictated by governors and mayors.»

He continues, «After witnessing this current election crisis, don’t you wish people with conservative values had been interested in gaining positions on the local Board of Elections? Local government is now infested with planners, NGOs, and federal agencies dictating policies. And the only reason they have power and influence now is because the left fought to elect representatives who then gave it to them. So, if you want to transform your community into a Freedom Pod you must start from scratch.»

DeWeese outlines five steps for creating local Freedom Pods.

No. 1: Research the players at City Hall and the planning groups and NGOs operating in your city to see what programs they are promoting and how they are funded.

No. 2: Build a team that includes researchers, watchers who agree to attend every public meeting, a strategist who will use the research to lead the team, agitators who will speak out at meetings, victims who will share ways city policies will damage them, people who will reach out to media, activists who will carry signs, protest in front of City Hall and pack Council Chambers and a social media team to develop a website and get the word out.

No. 3: Take Legal Action by utilizing Section 1983 of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and Section 3 of the 14^th Amendment.

No. 4: Build a Campaign by creating an effective precinct organization in every neighborhood.

No. 5: Build a Grading System, a 1 to 10 point scorecard on how well elected officials are defending liberty. Send the scorecard to the news media and post it on social media.

Credentials:  Tom DeWeese is president of the American Policy Center and author of three books including Now Tell Me I was Wrong, ERASE, and Sustainable, the WAR on Free Enterprise, Private Property, and Individuals. He is a speaker and nationally recognized property rights advocate who has debated at Cambridge University. DeWeese has been featured by Fox News, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Washington Times, and other media nationwide.

NEW YORK, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Khaled Salem, who looking to unseat Chuck Schumer in the upcoming 2022 US Senate races, today sent a clear message to the international Arabic community. Khaled implores Turkish, Iranian and Arab Gulf State citizens to be mindful of the almost complete lack of respect and harsh judgment from their leaders regarding decent human rights standards in their countries. The premise of his concern stems from these brutal regimes having almost complete control of their citizens’ speech and actions—and the almost assured retribution of these governments against their own peoples.

«Those who trust in the economic system or politics of Turkey are in denial of what is really happening there,» said Khaled Salem. «The existing Turkish regime is an unconstitutional system entirely controlled by President Erdogan and his party. Foreign investment and the Turkish economy will inevitably continue to suffer and collapse if subsequent presidents follow Erdogan’s lead. Arab countries and the EU are opposed to the existing system, while the US and Russian continue their present alliances with a Turkey that keeps its thumb on the necks of its people.»

Mr. Salem continued, «I implore the Iranian people to change their system and stand up to the power hungry few ruling Iran, who so easily eliminate anyone that speaks up or tries to shed light on the truth. Iranians are controlled by fear and are constantly silenced by intimidation and religious mandates, preventing positive global interaction. In addition, I believe that the princes and Kings of the Arabian Gulf States should be held accountable by their inhabitants. It is time to recognize human rights atrocities and send fair warning, especially to Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, that killing one’s own subjects is more in the spotlight than ever. The world is watching.»

Khaled is asking the United States Department of State to start, as soon as possible, to make the place of birth optional on U.S. passports to protect dual citizens abroad from discrimination in most international Airports around the world.

Other key policy positions from Mr. Salem include:

• Free university education for American students.
• Tourist visas to the US must require travel medical insurance for entry. 
• Laws and procedures to reduce domestic violence nationwide.
• A reduction in U.S. military activity and presence in the Middle East.
• A policy that requires these regions pay for American military services.
• The establishment of a home loan program for middle class single parents.

Salem is running in the next general election, scheduled for November 8, 2022. Thirty-four of the Senate’s 100 seats are being contested in these elections.

TAMPA, Fla., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Despite overwhelming public support for medical cannabis, Florida legislators have put forth a bill (HB1455) to drastically restrict access for pediatric patients.

Under current law, qualified pediatric patients may be certified if two doctors concur the child is eligible and the risks outweigh the benefits. Neither of these doctors must be a pediatrician; however, families often seek one of the state’s few pediatric medical cannabis specialists because of unique concerns of children ingesting marijuana.

Under the proposed law, even if the certifying physician is a board-certified pediatrician, the concurring physician must also be a board-certified pediatrician. This would make it significantly more difficult for parents and caregivers to access their child’s medicine. 

According to Dr. David Berger, a board-certified Tampa pediatrician specializing in pediatric medical cannabis:

There are very few Florida pediatricians experienced in treating pediatric medical cannabis patients or willing to confirm a child’s eligibility. If the certifying doctor is a board-certified pediatrician, there is no reason the second physician needs to also be a board-certified pediatrician. Not all families have access to a board-certified pediatrician, which means children will not get the medication they need.

Dr. Berger is the Founder and Medical Director of Wholistic ReLeaf, one of Florida’s only clinics specializing in pediatric medical cannabis. 

The proposed law would also drastically reduce the level of THC permitted in concentrated inhaled oils   If enacted, children would need to vaporize larger, more frequent quantities of oil to effectively treat their conditions. This could be detrimental to both physical and behavioral health, especially for children who have seizures or are on the neurodevelopmental spectrum.

Legislators will meet Tuesday, March 9, 9:30 am ET.  Dr. Berger is working with concerned parents and colleagues to lead the fight against the bill. He encourages all concerned Floridians to contact their state legislators.

Dr. Berger will be available for comment beginning 5:00 pm, March 9th, after the committee meeting.
