About Us
The Founding Principals at Solar Power Development Partners have been creating new technology companies and products for over two decades.  Previous to Solar Power Development Partners, Dr. John Barnes was CTO at Solar Power Assets, a solar power energy provider, VP of Engineering at Ahura Energy, a concentrating solar company, and in Business Development for Signet Solar, an a-Si solar panel manufacturer.  He has also served in VP level positions in Engineering and Business Development at large semiconductor and hardware companies, including National Semiconductor, Fujitsu, and Motorola.  
 
Senior Development Partner John Vidal concentrates on multi-MW solar PV projects in the Southwestern U.S.   Vidal is principal and founder of V.E. Solar Power.  Prior to entering the Solar business,  Vidal has held Business Development and Product Marketing positions at large semiconductor and Intellectual Property companies such as Rambus, National Semiconductor and Intel Corporation.

Senior Development Partner Rajan Kapur concentrates on solar projects in other parts of the U.S. and in India with other associates.  He was the CEO of Larankelo, a microinverter company prior to this effort, and was also in the electronics industry in senior postions in companies such as Cirrus Logic.

Solar Power Development Partners has access to a staff of nearly 12 professionals committed to delivering unparalleled service in the implementation of large solar energy projects.  We are doing large MW solar power PV projects with other development partners such as Solvida Energy.  Dr. Barnes also serves as the VP of Utility Scale Projets for Commercial Solar Design, LLC.

Solar Power Development Partners is now a trusted name in Solar PV Farm development.  Solar Power Development Partners continues to build it's reputation in providing quality services for Solar Farm Site selection, Solar Power Technology studies,  Solar Farm design analysis, Solar Farm investment financial return modeling and pro forma analysis.
 
Our partners are active in California's solar legislation and public utility commission rulings, filings, and policy committees regarding Distributed Solar PV and effective FIT programs.  Since Solar Site land acquisition is such a key part of developing Solar Farms, Solar Power Development Partners is also closely associated with Solar Land Partners in this critical activity.  Alex von Welczeck and Dr. Barnes are founding partners for Solar Land Partners.

The focus of Solar Power Development Partners continues to be the development of 1.5 - 20MW Solar PV Farms first in California and the Southwestern U.S., especially AZ, TX, CO, and NV.  We have worked on Multi-MW Solar PV Farms for investors in Italy, Spain, and Bulgaria and recently have performed project planing work for new proposed Solar Farms in India and in South America.
