Alex Jahp joined the solar industry in 2015 out of a passion for the environment and sustainable development. He has since worn many hats – and hard hats – with roles in construction, design, and project management on projects from watts to megawatts throughout the US, Peru, and Guatemala. His work has taught him the important role that codes, standards, and training play in building a safe, reliable, and scalable industry. Since 2017 he has taught classes and developed curriculum on construction, design, codes, standards, and O&M. He is currently a Senior Consultant at Solar Tech Collective and an instructor at Solar Energy International, as well as a member of the NABCEP JTA for the PV Associate Credential and a participant in several SEIA Standard Technical Committees. He is fluent in Spanish, a NABCEP PV Installation Professional, a PMI Project Management Professional, a 2022 Clean Energy Leadership Institute (CELI) fellow, and a board member at Twende Solar.
