Solar Sustainability with Jason & Alex of Power Production Management, Inc. - a podcast by Collin Austin

“Hey man, do you want to go into business with each other?” And that’s all it took. Alex Khokhlov and Jason Gonos have been business partners ever since. After only three days of working together at the University of North Florida, Alex and Jason knew they wanted to go into business together. They saw the potential in solar power, and after being taken advantage of one to many times, they decided to found Power Production Management in 2009. Collin and Mike learn the ins and outs of the solar industry, and our guests discuss persevering through some bad business deals and a rough economy.
