Entech Solar Appoints Rooney Chief Operating Officer

Solar, a developer of concentrating solar energy systems, has named Sean Rooney chief operating officer. Rooney joined Entech Solar in February 2008 as vice president of the company's engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) operations. With the company's shift in strategy away from flat-plate projects to the production and installation of Entech's proprietary concentrating solar systems, Rooney's role has been expanded to include all manufacturing operations as well as its EPC business. The company says it is also augmenting its manufacturing team with additional personnel and training. Entech Solar has retained experts and is training existing staff in Six Sigma methodology to address process and supply-chain issues in a systematic, data-driven approach, employing best-in-class practices.
