Maxeon Solar Technologies announced that Donald Colvin will succeed Kevin Kennedy as its new chairman of the board of directors, effective as of April 12.

Colvin currently serves as an independent director for Maxeon’s Board, Chairman of its Audit Committee and member of its Coordination Committee and Compensation Committee.

PowerMarket announced that Brad Tito is joining the team as Director of Community Energy in the Orchard Park, NY office.

Tito has spent the last seven years at the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) where he developed and managed NYSERDA’s Clean Energy Communities program. Under Tito’s leadership of the program, 730 local governments – representing 18.5 million New Yorkers – completed thousands of high impact clean energy actions. Prior to NYSERDA, Brad spent more than a decade working in local government for both the City of Yonkers and Nassau County on sustainability and clean energy initiatives.

Tito recently led a stakeholder collaborative process with the New York State Department of Public Service on the development of rules and requirements for opt-out community distributed generation (CDG) programs as part of community choice aggregation. Opt-out CDG allows thousands of homes and small businesses within a municipal jurisdiction to be enrolled all at once into community solar projects through a single municipal contract.
