From Struggling Sales Rep to Solar Industry Leader
"I Got Burned by the Solar Industry.
Now, I Make Sure You Never Do."
I started in solar over a decade ago, struggling to close a single deal. Now, after learning the hard way, fixing over 200 bad solar installations, and building a business based on integrity, transparency, and expertise, I help homeowners and sales professionals get solar the right way.
How It All Started—The Solar Industry Almost Broke Me
Over 10 years ago, I was a successful sales rep, earning a six-figure income working two different jobs—B2B sales for Unifirst during the day and D2D sales for Charter Communications (now Spectrum) at night. A friend kept telling me, "You have to get into solar—people are making more money than you are!"
I didn’t believe him. But after months of seeing real pay stubs, I finally gave in and applied at SolarCity.
🚨 Reality check: I was about to be fired after three months of failing to close a single deal. I believed in the product, but I didn’t understand how to sell it, how it worked, or how to show real value to clients.
That all changed one night at a SolarCity awards ceremony. I spent hundreds of dollars buying drinks for the top sales reps, just to listen and learn from the best. And at that moment, I finally understood what I had been doing wrong.
From that day forward, my sales skyrocketed. I became one of the top sales reps at SolarCity, and I saw firsthand how life-changing solar could be for homeowners.
The Hard Lessons That Shaped My Business
After years at SolarCity, I deeply desired to work for myself. I finally took the leap and started my own company, Sun Energy California. After helping hundreds of homeowners save money with solar energy and building a fantastic team I could call family, I could only expect to keep doing right, working hard, and growing.
But what I didn’t expect was the ugly side of the solar industry.
💥 Bad installations.
💥 Shady sales reps stealing deals.
💥 Installers going out of business and refusing to pay us.
The worst part? Two of my main installation partners didn’t pay me for our jobs and told me, “Take us to court if you want your money.” Then, they shut down, leaving me with nothing.
🛑 I lost everything.
🛑 I had to file for bankruptcy.
🛑 I shut down my first business.
🛑 I hit rock bottom.
Kicked To The Ground, But What's One More Kick to the Gut
At the same time, I had also launched Nutrition HD, a vitamin and supplement store for gym enthusiasts. Like solar, it was a product I believed in and was passionate about. But after suffering major losses from my solar business, I was forced to close that business too.
That experience taught me two important lessons:
Integrity is everything. Whether solar or supplements, people deserve to work with businesses they can trust.
If you want to do something right, you have to take control of the process. That’s why I built Bright Solar Power—to create the standard homeowners and sales reps deserve.
Why I Built Bright Solar Power—To Do Solar the Right Way
I rebuilt my business with one mission in mind:
🛑 No more bad installs.
🛑 No more shady deals.
🛑 No more homeowners getting screwed over.
That’s why I do all the work upfront—so my clients don’t have to worry.
✅ I vet installers carefully (because I’ve been burned myself).
✅ I research the best products, design tools, and strategies.
✅ I collect 12 months of energy usage for precise system sizing.
✅ I improve my knowledge with every deal—so I can deliver the best results.
This isn’t just a business to me. It’s a mission to make sure no homeowner experiences what I did.
