Carlos Mora
- Energy Consultant
- Carlos began his sales and consulting career in 2016 after being inspired by a favorite quote from Confucius: “He who wishes to secure the good of others, has already secured his own.”
Two years later, Carlos was managing multiple telecommunications storefronts and applying his training techniques throughout Northern California. Carlos’ career with Alternative Energy Systems began in 2020. He was seeking a role that would continue to “secure the good for others” and he wanted to promote a company and a product he believed in. Carlos is passionate about reducing his carbon footprint and lessening his dependence on the utility company, so when a close friend suggested looking for a role at AES, Carlos jumped at the chance. It didn’t take long to see that was a perfect fit.
Since his start at AES, Carlos has guided hundreds of customers on their path to a clean energy future and financial savings. Carlos is also bilingual and is able to help share the benefits of solar energy with our Spanish-speaking community members.
In his free time, Carlos volunteers as a local leader in the Chico Rotaract Club to help improve our community and provide safe spaces for people to gather. The rest of his time is dedicated to exploring locally and attempting to “walk” Maine Coon cat, Sharky.
