Windy Dankoff's career combines his technical talents with his passion for environmental preservation. In 1977, he began a wind-electric and photovoltaic business in New Mexico, to electrify homes beyond the power lines. He has worked solely in the private sector, where systems had to be cost-effective. In 1983, he became one of the first manufacturers of solar powered water-well pumps. In the 90’s, Dankoff Solar Products became a worldwide wholesale distributor. He sold the company in 2005 to pursue educational work, writing and consulting.
Windy has had over 40 magazine articles and book contributions published, covering photovoltaic applications, energy management, and solar water pumping. He has taught at schools, and advises other pioneering business owners and educators. Founder, retired, Dankoff Solar Products, Inc.
