This is Episode 23 of SunCast. Today we take a break from the Latam Founders Series, but not from meeting yet another solid founder in the solar industry.

Today on SunCast, you'll meet Jon Bonanno, CCO of Empower Micro Systems.   

Jon is a friend and mentor, and knows a Ton about technology, launching and growing new companies, and is well-versed in the challenges of the Solar Industry.

 In the next 30 minutes, we discuss:

• Jon's penchant for Making up new words
• Why he believes Module level power electronics (MLPE) is the most appropriate technology for rooftop projects
• Survival when you're founding companies that are way ahead of their time or the market
