Confluence Solar was founded in 2007 by silicon industry veterans with the purpose of bringing premium quality, low-cost single crystal silicon as a platform for high efficiency cell design to solar cell manufacturers. In September 2008, VAN LEUVEN Communications began working with Confluence Solar to oversee their communications initiatives. VLC supports Confluence Solar’s investor relations, analyst relations and trade and business media relations locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. In January 2010, Confluence Solar received more than 1,300 feature stores within a 24-hour time frame when VLC announced their selection of Tennessee to build their new $200 million manufacturing facility.

VLC provided public relations, media relations, trade relations, analyst relations as well as assisted with community relations.

VAN LEUVEN Communications supported our Heritage Cooperative Show Ring Success Seminar on April 23, 2016. Their team helped us generate the event communications, manage the RSVP process, communicate the event via social media channels, and publicize with the media and FFA/4-H contacts throughout the state of Ohio. We had 500 attendees for our event and doubled our sales at our Heritage Show Trailer. This was an increase of 100% vs. last year for sales and attendees. We have already reserved the VAN LEUVEN Team for our event next year!
