EVERYBODY SELLS THE FIRST ORDER.
NOBODY STAYS FOR THE REORDER.

The deal closes. The rep moves on. The first problem shows up, nobody answers, and the next order goes somewhere else.

I DON'T WALK AWAY.

THE PERSON WHO PICKS UP

TEN YEARS IN SOLAR. EVERY SEAT AT THE TABLE.

I've sold solar, worked inside an EPC, did field work for a national manufacturer, walked factory floors in China, and helped launch a virtual power plant program in Puerto Rico.

In luxury hotels, the job was making sure guests came back. In solar, it's the same job with a different name: the reorder.

I've seen why some brands win a new market, and why others never make it past the first order.

If I don't believe in a brand, I don't represent it.

Vázquez.

My story

Ten years in solar, from almost every seat at the table:

  • Sales: ran my own small residential solar dealership
  • EPC: Director of Marketing for a commercial and residential EPC, on projects for Sub-Zero and Briggs & Stratton
  • Manufacturer: traveled half the country with a national solar manufacturer, onboarding new distribution partners, training them, and teaching them to make their own content
  • Field: coordinated and led installer trainings, trained 25+ regional installers, and documented flagship installs, service calls, and customer testimonials
  • Factory: walked factory floors in China
  • New markets: helped launch a virtual power plant program in Puerto Rico

I've seen where deals break, and what makes them come back. That's what I bring to every account.

What people say

Luis Vazquez Parrilla is one of those people who makes you better at what you do just by being in the conversation.

Most people in renewable energy focus on the launch. The campaign, the deck, the announcement. Luis zeroed in on the part everybody else skips: the first install. The moment an installer either trusts your product or quietly walks away from it. That is where markets are actually won, and Luis has spent years living in that space across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean. He translates what happens on the jobsite into something a manufacturer can actually act on. Not theory. Real field intelligence.

What sets him apart is how he thinks about messaging and relationships. He takes a complicated, forgettable truth and finds the angle that makes it land. Clean. Clever. The kind of twist you did not see coming but cannot ignore once you hear it. That is not a teachable skill. He just has it.

He is also someone who builds trust fast. Installers open up to him. Manufacturers listen to him. That does not happen by accident. It happens because he is genuine, he shows up, and he cares about getting it right more than getting credit.

His resume is strong. His ceiling is a lot higher than any of it suggests.

If you get the chance to work with Luis, take it.
