Featured media coverage
A few stories best capture the arc: founder history, policy fights, commercial solar, and the practical resilience side of the business.
Founder history
Wall Street Journal
Coverage of Bradley Bartz’s role in early online services, advertising, and Japanese internet growth before ABC Solar existed.
Commercial solar
A Real Sun Flower Blossoms In LA
A standout commercial story showing ABC Solar handling a major urban rooftop project with real scale and lasting visibility.
Advocacy
Solar Rights and the HOA fight
These public fights made ABC Solar more than an installer. They positioned the company as part of the broader solar-rights conversation.
Better than hype. Better than churn. Better than “good enough.”
The press story around ABC Solar is not just about projects. It is about longevity, point of view, advocacy, and a founder who has been building things in public for decades.
Two archives, one story
The cleanest way to understand the brand is to separate company coverage from founder prehistory — while letting both reinforce each other.
Company archive
ABC Solar news clips
Company press coverage includes project features, public-policy fights, solar-rights stories, and milestone installs from the ABC Solar era.
Founder archive
Historical founder media
Before ABC Solar, Bradley Bartz already had a visible public trail in technology, publishing, communications, and early internet business.
Books and writing
The founder story is not just media coverage. It also includes writing, authorship, and long-form thinking about business, entrepreneurship, and systems.
Author
The Venture Business Manual
A practical founder-oriented business work that extends the same traits visible across the media archive: experimentation, salesmanship, systems thinking, and real-world entrepreneurship.
Why it matters
Why include the book on a press page?
Because it tells reporters, clients, and partners that the founder is not just an installer. He is also a public thinker, entrepreneur, and author with a larger body of work behind the company.
Press kit
A compact kit for journalists, podcast hosts, conference organizers, partners, and anyone who needs the basics quickly.
