The term ‘green entrepreneur’ emerged in recent years to signify that entrepreneurs such as Coutan use their business skills and resources to affect the environment positively. Within his role at Apricot Solar, Coutan has broken sales records by using a modern approach to the business of sales. Coutan used the indispensable tool of social media to take awareness of the solar energy industry and its everyday application worldwide. His team has utilized popular social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube to reach homeowners and bring awareness to the need for renewable energy. Coutan says,” The need to reduce our carbon footprint is an imperative one, and the more methods like the use of solar panels that we can introduce into our everyday life, the better.”
Coutan’s focus has always been on the prospects of renewable energy and its huge potential for growth in everyday lives. Through boosting the exposure and sales of Apricot Solar, Coutan has helped to expand the reach of Eco-friendly energy, one solar panel at a time.
