GeoSolar Technologies Inc. Announces Promotion of Dr. Dar-Lon Chang, Ph.D. to President

GeoSolar Technologies Inc. (GSLR), the home and commercial national green energy retrofit leaders who created the SmartGreen Home, announced the promotion of Dr. Dar-Lon Chang, Ph.D. who holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to company President.

GeoSolar Technologies kicked off 2024 with its announcement last week that it had begun trading publicly under the symbol GSLR.  Dr. Chang’s promotion aligns with the company’s strategic plan to begin its rollout of its SmartGreen Home to customers. In his new role, Dr. Chang will oversee the rollout of the SmartGreen Home model that was successfully pioneered in the Geos neighborhood in Arvada, Colorado, including the day-to-day tactical execution for GeoSolar Technologies’ customers. 

Incoming GeoSolar Technologies Inc. President Dr. Dar-Lon Chang, Ph.D. commented  “I’m excited to be assuming the role of President of GeoSolar Technologies. After a 16 year career, I left ExxonMobil for what I believe was their failure to lead the necessary energy transition away from oil and gas.  I am now President of a company focused on leading the transition. I have been living the SmartGreen Home experience as a resident of the Geos neighborhood since 2019, and I’m inspired by the foundational experience our team has built together as we commence our rollout in 2024.”

Commented GeoSolar Technologies Inc, Chairman and CEO Stone Douglass “As promised, 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting year for GeoSolar Technologies. I’m delighted with our announcement today that Dar-Lon Chang will take the reins as President as we prepare to bring our SmartGreen Home retrofits online with customers in Colorado.

The promotion will take effect immediately.
