SOLAR ENERGY IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA Naples Botanical Garden A PRESENTATION BY: Jason Szumlanski Introduction to Engineering Operations Manager Edison State College jason@fafcosolar.com Charlotte/Hendry/Glades Campuses Web: http://Fafcosolar.com Blog: http://SolarSouthwestFlorida.com
ABOUT THE PRESENTER Jason Szumlanski is the Operations Manager at Fafco Solar in Cape Coral, Florida. He started out in Solar Energy in the early 2000's in the Caribbean where he operated an organic pineapple farm. There was no electricity at the property. Farm and living accomodations required power, and solar energy was the only feasible solution. Without local knowledge of solar energy, Jason took it upon himself to become fully educated about solar electricity and solar water heating. Later, Jason developed a mobile solar energy generator/trailer and started a company to design, build, and market the product. In 2010 he joined Fafco Solar to bring his technical knowledge and business acumen to this long successful family business. In the time since, Fafco Solar has been able to secure it's five largest contracts to date.
