Jason co-founded Big Sun Solar in an effort to help utilities deploy more distributed energy resources using innovative business models. Solar energy should cost less, have a positive user experience and benefit both the customer and utility company. Jason’s 18 years of clean energy and solar PV experience ranges from large utility scale systems and distributed commercial system to the development and execution of utility programs. Jason has previously served as Vice Chairman for Solar San Antonio and currently serves as a Board Director for the Texas Energy Poverty Research Institute (TEPRI) where he tries to leverage solar PV to lower energy burdens in low income communities. He holds a BS in engineering from the University of Texas and a MS degree from the McCombs School of Business. Jason lives in San Antonio with his wife and two children where they hike in the local green spaces and look forward to taking over the downtown streets during SiClovia.
