Previously, he served as an instructor for photovoltaic design and installation at the San Diego Electrical Training Center and as a Journeyman Electrician at Dynalectric. Under Daniel’s guidance the Company has installed more than 8,000 solar power systems on homes, businesses and large institutional buildings across San Diego, Orange and Riverside counties.

Daniel ensures that the Company’s core values and its foundation for success remain alive. During recruiting each applicant is reviewed based on their individual alignment to the Company’s values and purpose. Daniel believes that skillsets can be taught, but a character that matches the company cannot.
