Harry Horner

Harry is the jack-of-all-trades at RepowerYolo. He provides critical project management support while ensuring homeowners and businesses in the community have the information they need from the start to finish of their solar projects. He was with Repower at the earliest stages of the company, and in early 2020 he rejoined the team after honing his experience in small businesses and natural resources management and policy. Harry brings a background in entrepreneurship thanks to years of work in his family-owned business and is a graduate of the Sacramento Entrepreneurial Academy. Prior to rejoining Repower, he worked in water resources with the Bureau of Reclamation and spent time representing diverse California water issues in Washington, DC. Harry earned his Bachelors of Science in Environmental and Resource Sciences from UC Davis. When he's not helping homeowners explore renewable energy, he can be found riding his bike around town or honing his tennis skills on the court.
