    I would think a good memorial would be for the US to honor him with a gift of millions of solar panels, BOS and the training to go with it, in his name, to Afghanistan.

    I am sad to say that our dear friend Ishaq M. Shahryar passed away Sunday
    evening, April 12, 2009. Mr. Shahryar was well known in the solar industry
    as the successful founder of Solec International, the first terrestrial
    solar cell factory. The New Scientist magazine titled him The Sun King and
    reported that he "virtually invented solar power as a serious energy
    source." Mr. Shahryar loved America and his native homeland, Afghanistan. In
    2002, the former Afghan King Mohammad Zahir Shah asked Mr. Shahryar to
    represent his homeland which he accepted to become the first Afghan
    Ambassador to the United States since 1978. His Excellency, Ambassador
    Shahryar served pro bono and also invested much of his own money in the
    embassy. After serving as Ambassador, Mr. Shahryar returned to California to
    start a new solar company, Sun King Solar. The solar industry, Afghanistan,
    his family, and his many friends will miss Ishaq dearly. He is survived by
    his wife, Hafizah, son, Alexander, and daughter, Jahan.

    The funeral service will be held 1:00PM, Saturday, April 18, 2009 at the
    Hollywood Hills Forest Lawn Memorial Park, 6300 Forest Lawn Drive, Los
    Angeles, California 90068 (tel 800-204-3131).

    Sincerely,
    Joel Davidson
