The brightest young professionals around the country talk about their niche, concepts, and values that have helped them become the people that they are today!
In this episode, we unpack the story of Val Berechet, founder and CEO of Sun Solar Solutions, one of the fastest-growing solar installation companies in the U.S. From his early days in Romania to becoming a customer-turned-entrepreneur in the solar industry, Val shares how a bad installation experience sparked his mission to build a company rooted in quality, transparency, and customer trust.
In this conversation, the discussion explores entrepreneurship, the solar market’s future, and the mindset required to scale a business without sacrificing integrity. Val opens up about building a company culture based on accountability, navigating industry challenges, and why long-term thinking beats chasing short-term gains.
Perfect for entrepreneurs, operators, and anyone curious about renewable energy, leadership, and what it takes to build a sustainable business in a fast-changing market.
