Sunverge Energy named Clinton Davis as its Senior Vice President of Product and Program Management. Davis will be responsible for continuing the rapid expansion of Sunverge's hardware and software offerings that enable dynamic, automated and cost-effective management of the distribution grid. He also will direct the enhancement of the innovative services the company provides to electric utilities, retailers and solar installers to help them realize new value streams.
"Clinton's appointment reinforces the commitment Sunverge has had from day one: to provide unparalleled grid services via intelligent, aggregated energy storage and advanced control software," said Sunverge CEO Ken Munson. "Clinton brings valuable energy industry hardware and software experience that will help us continue to deliver the technology solutions utilities need to support the next generation power grid and to develop the cutting-edge energy storage appliances solar installers need to help customers consume more of their own solar power."
Davis joins Sunverge from global industrial company ABB where he was most recently Vice President of Generation and Renewable Industry Solutions.

"I'm excited to partner with our stakeholders to make renewable power reliable, economical and accessible to all. We will continue our founding mission and our intense focus on maximizing the value of distributed energy resources to consumers, service providers, utilities, markets and communities."
