"At my first Chamber event, I was introduced to George Baral, an expert in energy efficiency.  After a nice conversation, George was kind enough to refer my company to one of his clients looking into solar power.  The referred party elected to work with Solar Universe a week later.  I now look forward to recommending George and his company Green Building Solutions to my clients in need of energy efficiency audits."  - Ryan Pickering, Solar Universe
