Graham Alexander has been working in solar energy for a long time.

Been in the industry for about 25 years now.

You were in it before solar panels were cool.

Oh, well before they were cool.

Were you on the roof?

I was on the roof, yep.

All right.

I thought I was a roof guy.

I thought I was just, I was one of the guys that could get up and get things done.

Turns out, I was much better at planning and talking about it than actually doing it.

These days, Graham's more of an office guy.

He co-owns a company called Southern Energy Management.

And so in really simple terms, company called Southern Energy Management.

And so in really simple terms, what does Southern Energy Management do?

Simple terms.

Simple terms.

We are a solar installation company, both residential and light commercial.

We work with the dentist office, the mechanics on the commercial side,

and we work with the homeowners putting solar up on the roofs.

The company also has another line of business, certifying green buildings.

And in the last few years, solar energy and Graham's business have really taken off.

What's exciting is it's growing to the mainstream.
