About Us
Ronald Newdoll, the President of Newdoll Enterprises started his career in San Angelo, Texas, where he formed Accurate Sound Corporation to design, sell and install complete recording studios and then expanded into the audio tape duplication business. He moved to Silicon Valley in the 1980s. While working in the music industry, he recorded Pope John Paul II’s speeches made during his historic visit to Mexico in 1979. He produced a wonderful 3-CD collection of the speeches in Spanish along with original music specially composed by Mexico’s most famous musicians and songwriters in a classical style. Ron also developed his own line of Logging Recorders to record radio and telephone calls for police departments, 911 call centers, hospitals, call centers, airports, etc. He continues to sell the NE-1300 Logging Recorder and is a distributor for the Total Recall line of Logging Recorders as well. Ron started a new business last year named Newdoll Enterprises that mainly will focus on the renewable energy market.
Ron first became interested in the solar energy business in 2003, when he made the decision to convert the power for his Edison Technology Park 85,000 square foot industrial complex to solar power. The PG&E Incentives and Tax Rebates offered at the time provided a formula for fiscal feasibility. He expects to have 100% return on his investment within 5 years and after that, he can pocket all of the income generated by his solar panels. This, along with the desire to help the environment, prompted him to invest his time and energy into one of the largest privately owned solar power generating facilities in California. This system harvests enough solar energy to supply 100% of the electrical energy used by all the tenants working in his complex.
Newdoll has a background in the electronics industry and in the construction business, which gave him the tools he needed to oversee the installation of this huge 400 KW solar generating system. He acted as the designer, purchasing agent and general contractor for the project, which helped him to contain costs and allowed him to learn about power generating systems, at every step of the process. He decided to use inverters and solar panels from different manufacturers in order to compare their results. As a result, he gained knowledge and experience in this field that allowed him to design and develop, more efficient, cost effective products.
The Almanac newspaper, serving Woodside, --- recently featured a four page spread on Ron and his company, including placing a picture of him on the roof of one of his buildings covered in solar panels, on the cover. The article follows:
