Find (or make) good ,simple, reliable products which are easy to support.
If you do a good job and support your customers well they will spread the word.

Better to concentrate on a few good product at first rather than lots of poor ones.

As you grow you will find out which other products/services complement your business.

Good luck

Heliostats. I just found out that early scientists used timer or clock powered ones (ones with a timer on equatorial mount) to track the sun and shine light on their experiments. So why on earth are we throwing computer power at it! http://www.earlytech.com/common/show_image.phtml?Id=491390987&Item_Name=Heliostat+by+Silbermann+1843 has the geometry (not that I understand it). So what is a heliostat? It is just a mirror that turns to reflect sunlight to the same spot all day. With a timer based heiliostat, you could have 5 or 6 or 20 mirrors sending light to one place for heating or cooking. This is better than parabolics because flat mirrors are easy to make. (And you can have a parabolic oven at the end if you like). I have just started a heliostat page at instructables.com. I do not know if my heliostat will work or even if it uses the same principle as the old ones. I think it is simpler than the old types. Brian White

In the past 5 years our country has become a leading consumer of utility scale wind turbines (1MW+) and wind farms are sprouting up all over the place. By far the biggest concern of industry right now is the lack of a skilled work-force to maintain these machines. Industry is cooperating with educators to develop a curriculum at the community college level, but there are job openings that need to be filled now. I don't know the large wind turbine situation in Turkey, but if there is some movement toward using this form of renewable technology, perhaps your company can develop training modules for wind turbine technicians to keep the labor localized, and to prevent the same kind of workforce discrepancy that we in the States are experiencing.

Good luck,
