Alexia Cooper from 1Solar, ”One The Come UP” Podcast

For the fourteenth episode of “ONE the Come UP,” I was honored to have Ms Alexia Cooper as my guest. The Senior VP of One Solar, she used to be the CEO of Bell Solar until it was acquired. Starting her career at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, she started in air conditioning before moving to Bell Electrical. Initially a sales representative, before buying the owner out, she quickly grew the company and pivoted to residential solar installation and servicing. Revenue increased 400% yearly, her vision exceeded years into the future, and was brought to fruition when she was given full reign. The company donated $100,000 to GivePower, a non-profit dedicated to spreading renewable energy to communities around the world. The donations funded their eleven day trip to Nepal, where they installed solar panels in a remote village. After growing to 75 employees, they were bought by 1Solar, one of the largest solar companies in the country. Who knows what the future of solar looks like – I can’t predict the weather, can you? – but wherever Ms Cooper is, I’m sure it will be bright.
