Martin Hermann

Just one day after the company celebrated the completion of the 328 MW Mount Signal 3 Solar Farm, 8minutenergy has announced that company CEO and co-founder Martin Hermann has been bought out. Effective immediately, Hermann will step down from his role as CEO, while co-founder Tom Buttgenbach will transition into that role as well as the role of company president. All of Hermann’s shares in 8minutenergy will be purchased by Buttgenbach and the 8minutenergy management team. Since Hermann and Buttgenbach founded 8minutenergy Renewables in 2009, the company has become one of the largest independent developers of solar PV in the United States.
