With over a dozen years of leadership experience in the renewable energy field, Dan Magni is a recognized expert in photovoltaic technologies, products, architectures, installation techniques and operational best practices. He has direct overseen the technical design, field installation, and ongoing operations and maintenance of hundreds of solar deployments ranging in size from 20 kilowatts to 5 megawatts, and has an extensive background in semiconductor design and manufacturing. Directly prior to joining CleanSource Power, Mr. Magni served as President of NexGen Energy Systems, a prominent provider of solar engineering and consulting services located in Northern California. Prior to leading NexGen, Mr. Magni served as Director of Engineering at RWE Schott Solar, where he oversaw operations for the design and installation of grid-tied and hybrid photovoltaic arrays for commercial and residential solar applications. Prior to Schott, Mr. Magni served as Director of Integrated Systems and Operations at Global Solar Energy, an early leader in the development of flexible thin film photovoltaic cells. At Global, Mr. Magni created a division that designed and installed turn-key grid tied and hybrid photovoltaic arrays, and was instrumental in establishing the company’s quality systems, process engineering standards, and production and inventory controls. Mr. Magni began his career in the renewable energy at BASEF Inc., a Tempe, AZ-based maker of solar-thermal-assisted biofuels, where he performed direct research into processes and biological components and feedstocks (standard crops, cellulosic mass) for the creation of ethanol. Mr. Magni is a graduate of Arizona State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. |
