Pete Jacoway is Del Sol Energy’s Senior Energy Adviser. He said his commitment to the solar industry was a “natural transition” from the Western industry where he began his career. His roots are grounded in Historic downtown Brentwood where his family owned a traditional western store geared toward farm and ranch owners in the far East Contra Costa community.

Pete believes the one way he can continue to support the agricultural community is to create access to affordable clean energy to the local rancher and farmers. Pete is a long-time Brentwood business owner who grew up “running amok” in old Downtown Brentwood and loves that he can continue to support local business and the downtown he calls home. Pete has over 25 years’ experience working in sales and is renowned for saying, “I hate sales. I just want to make sure that the people who buy are getting what they need, want and can afford.” This philosophy bleeds over into how Pete works his customers.

He tends to take an “old school” mindset and prefers phone calls over emails, face-to-face visits over phone calls and often finds new friends in the customers he works with. Pete is a self-defined “work-acholic” because he loves the people that his profession brings into his life and enjoys business development and strategy. However, when he does step away, Pete enjoys golf, is a huge sports fan and enjoys what Downtown Brentwood has to experienceers, and enjoying what Downtown Brentwood has to experience.
