“I’d like to welcome both Terry and Mark to the Board as we embark on a new phase of growth across our wave, solar, battery and microgrid businesses. They both have an outstanding track record of success in business across renewable energy, finance, R&D, sales and manufacturing, that will be invaluable to Carnegie going forward.
