John Miller Earns Renewable Energy Vermont’s
Technical Achievement Award
Engineering Director at AllEarth Renewables Honored for Pioneering Renewable Energy Engineering Achievements
Burlington, Vermont…October 1, 2010……John Miller, Engineering Director at AllEarth Renewables, Inc., was honored today at the Renewable Energy Vermont (REV) annual conference at the Sheraton Burlington Hotel in Burlington, Vermont, with their Technical Achievement Award. This award recognizes Miller’s 30-year career as an innovator, electrical designer and pioneer in wind and solar energy instrumentation technology.
David Blittersdorf, president and CEO of AllEarth Renewables said, “This award is a fitting tribute to recognize all John has done in his life to move renewable energy forward here in Vermont, across the U.S. and around the world."
Miller, a resident of Starksboro, Vermont, holds both a bachelor and masters degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Vermont. He met David Blittersdorf when they were both students at UVM’s school of engineering, and began a life-long professional collaboration with Blittersdorf in the early 1980s. This collaboration bore fruit in the form of a wide array of instruments and sensors at NRG Systems, a company manufacturing wind measurement technology that Blittersdorf founded in 1982, and continues with Miller’s ongoing contributions on the electronic systems used in AllEarth Renewables’ in-development residential-scale wind turbine and AllSun Tracker™ solar PV array. Over the past three decades, Miller’s technical, rational approach has complemented Blittersdorf’s zeal for innovation and action.
After UVM, Miller developed industrial controls and microprocessors for small companies, including his own, Senix, which he ran from 1991 until 1999. He worked as a contractor with NRG Systems for more than two decades between 1982 and 2007, offering development expertise as a senior designer for all of NRG’s electronic sensors, instruments and software products. Miller left NRG Systems to join Blittersdorf’s newly founded second company AllEarth Renewables as Engineering Director in 2008. Throughout his career to date, Miller has remained dedicated to designing renewable energy instrumentation that provides innovation and efficiency to the emerging wind and solar energy technology value chain.
