Bennett Jones is a co-founder of Alpine Solar Sales. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Bennett spent 17 years living aboard sailboats. The boats became Bennett’s test beds for integrated systems designs, taking off-grid living concepts to the extreme. He then moved ashore to Alpine and now works in co-operation with Alpine Furniture Store to bring Off-Grid and renewable energy products to the Big Bend area.
