Since joining abakus solar USA in November of 2011 Brad has said As Director of Business Development it is truly rewarding to know that every person my team sells a PV system to will benefit financially, and with their help, we help power the planet with the cleanest form of power production that exists. Brad Grew up in Chesterfield and went to College at William and Mary where he graduated with an economics degree. From there he went into the home building business with his father. This experience as a home builder has helped Brad gain a unique insight into the building process and how the PV systems integrate into homes. As a homeowner with solar on his roof, he is able to see firsthand the real time benefits of having a solar PV system.
