Aaron Nitzkin, founder and CEO of SRD, will assume additional responsibilities as Citadel\u2019s Executive Vice President of Solar. He will oversee the company\u2019s continued growth into the residential, small commercial and new home construction markets; and spearhead its efforts to strengthen its foothold as a leading roofing and solar subcontractor to homebuilders in preparation for California\u2019s new home solar mandate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe California solar market is heating up as homebuilders gear up to comply with the new state mandate that all new residential construction include solar energy systems starting January 1, 2020,\u201d said Nitzkin. \u201cAs one of the largest and most experienced solar and roofing contractors in California, Citadel is uniquely positioned to serve as a trusted advisor to homebuilders, big and small, to ensure that their transition to meeting the new code goes smoothly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citadel is one of the only contractors in the state to offer integrated roofing and solar installations along with an integrated, single-source warranty. It is one of the state\u2019s few solar contractors servicing the homebuilder market to use only its own installation crews rather than subcontractors, which ensures tighter control of training and quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting time in the California solar market, and we are delighted to add Aaron to our solar team to guide residential and commercial sales and operations,\u201d said Dieter Folk, President of Citadel. \u201cAaron\u2019s appointment is particularly timely as we approach the deadline for California\u2019s mandate that all residential new construction includes a solar system. His years of experience and success building Solar Roofing Dynamics will help Citadel expand its penetration into the homebuilder market and strengthen our leadership role in roofing and solar throughout the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aaron Nitzkin has been working in the solar industry since 2003, working as National Sales Director for Dow Chemical Company\u2019s solar division, and as Executive Vice President of Solar for PetersenDean before founding Solar Roof Dynamics. Aaron also has consulted for a variety of client companies including SunPower Corporation and Clarum Homes. Aaron holds an MBA from Stanford\u2019s Graduate School of Business as well as a BA from Indiana University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
