Barry is a long-time advocate of solar power and is a widely recognized solar power expert.

Barry started his career in solar energy in the late 1970’s at MIT researching new flat plate and concentrating collector designs. 

His pioneering work on reducing costs of rooftop solar power systems led to over 30 issued and applied for patents, including a number of products that transformed the solar industry, including Andalay, the first solar panel with integrated racking, grounding and wiring, and Instant Connect, the first fully “plug and play” AC solar panel.

On any given day Barry will either be on a roof working with his installation crews, doing R&D on new solar products in the lab, or working on improving national residential solar policies like net metering and better homeowner financing programs.

As a Residential Solar & Storage Design Consultant, Randy enjoys helping people harness the energy from the sun to power their lives.  Randy earned his bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University and a master’s degree from Minnesota State University. His work experience includes running an adventure-based team-building organization and over fifteen years of experience running an Experiential Marketing Agency.

Randy loves the outdoors (hiking and climbing mountains especially) and is motivated to keep the planet green and clean.

Experience working with another large solar company helped instill a passion for renewable energy and he continues to be motivated to offer quality work while also ethically providing the best solution for customers’ current and future energy needs.

Thad began his career in the energy business while in college, working summer jobs as an oil field roustabout in West Texas and as an assistant geologist in Death Valley, CA. Graduating with a degree in Energy Land Management from the University of Oklahoma, Thad went to work for British Petroleum in San Francisco and Houston, securing exploration rights on private, state and federal offshore lands.

Subsequent steps in the consumer electronics and entertainment industries coincided with a growing interest in renewable energy and concern for the environment.  This resulted in the founding of a specialized marketing practice promoting renewable energy and social impact causes, two of which developed into ongoing consultancies: one for a Canadian clean tech startup in the commercial demand response field, and another with a leading solar loan company in Oakland.

Thad joined Cinnamon with the desire to support and grow solar energy with a premier company, long on the front lines of the energy transition.

Rumsin is a Residential Solar Design Consultant for Cinnamon Energy Systems and has been in the renewable energy industry since 2010. Rumsin runs our Inside Sales efforts where he is often the first point of contact for customers exploring solar and battery storage requirements for their homes and commerical buildings.

Rumsin’s early entrepreneurial efforts begin in 2008 when he founded a web design company that quickly became one of the most successful in Connecticut.

In 2010 he sold his business to join a family member in their renewable energy business, doing geothermal and solar sales and later followed his family to California where he continued his career in sales focusing on the renewable energy and real estate markets.

Being a member of the Cinnamon Energy team provides him with the opportunity to pursue his passion for renewable energy by helping Silicon Valley homeowners reduce their electric bills with clean reliable solar and battery storage solutions.
