Brad Stutzman of o3 Energy talks commercial solar, messaging & market pivots

In this episode of The Plucky Bamboo Podcast, Chris Jones sits down with Brad Stutzman, Founder and CEO of o3 Energy, to talk about what actually drives adoption in commercial renewable energy.Brad shares lessons from building o3 Energy across residential, commercial, and small utility-scale markets - including when to pivot, how to evaluate new offerings, and why many sustainability messages fail to resonate with business decision-makers.Rather than leading with ideology, Brad explains why successful renewable energy companies focus on outcomes that can be measured: energy costs, risk reduction, grid reliability, and operational impact.The conversation also covers how o3 Energy works with real estate owners and developers, why relationships and trust still matter in B2B sales, and how founders can make clearer decisions in fast-changing markets.This episode is for sustainability founders, operators, and commercial leaders who want a grounded, practical view of how renewable energy gets adopted in the real world.
