What we do: Fresno office was a bit slow for a couple of months, we are making up for it now. We laid our Fresno staff off, including myself, for some weeks, mainly Planet Solar has been a pioneer in the solar energy industry pretty much because we thought it was the socially responsible thing to do until the CDC since Gov. Schwarzenegger signed the California Solar Initiative in 2006. We figured out just how to handle this virus. Our Palm Springs office was just too install solar panels and battery storage systems for commercial, residential, busy, so our staff only had a few weeks off there. We've faired much better nonprofits, and of course being from the valley, ag applications. We founded than most companies. In fact some of the largest solar companies in America the company in Santa Barbara and still have that office. Being from Fresno, have either filed for bankruptcy or are simply gone. Planet Solar honestly is we opened an office here in 2013. We moved the corporate headquarters here the strongest it’s been in 10 years, thanks to my incredible team. in 2016. We also have an office in Palm Springs. We lived in Puerto Rico for three years setting up an office that is still thriving. With new state regulations, and after destructive California forest fires, do you expect more people to go Solar? Can you tell us about where you grew up?

I remember when very few people had cell phones, and and the high Sierras, as well as being close enough to visit family. now everyone has at least one. Solar will be the same.

How did you get into the solar power industry? What is one thing you do not have patience for in the work place? I installed my very first solar panels in 1983 with the first company I founded while I was in college. We did energy conservation measures like attic insula- The thing that irks me the most is the false advertising of some less ethical tion and dual pane windows. Somebody asked if I could install solar panels, solar companies. When you see ads saying “Your zip code might qualify for a and of course I said “sure.” Then in 1998, my wife and I moved aboard a sailboat new solar program,” or “we work with PG&E,” or anything that says “Free Solar and lived for four years totally off-grid, using solar panels, a wind generator Panels” — it’s just a lie.
