Bio
Albie Fong
Jesse maintained a high level of capability managing his regional distribution, commercial, and utility scale accounts. He provided valuable PV market insight to allow the entire Talesun Solar team to be more successful and was truly committed to doing what was needed to improve sales and product bankability at the company. Jesse also displayed an excellent command of the distributed generation market and accounted for a large percentage of company revenue during the time he was with Talesun. I can imagine he will bring the same amount of commitment to other solar companies.
Joseph Concepcion
Jesse has consistently been a top sales consultant each month for the 3 years I have worked with him at REC Solar. Being a true team player, Jesse has helped train and coach some of the new sales consultants. He has always been a responsible and dependable sales consultant. Jesse knew our product lines, the needs of our clients and has earned the respect of his co-workers through his hard work and successful sales. Jesse has played a critical role in the success of REC Solar in the Sacramento region and I am confident he will play a critical role in the success of any company he joins.
