This is your SolarWakeup for September 15th, 2016

If you have been reading SolarWakeup for the past 4 years, you know that I am a HUGE fan of the SunShot program. The team is amazing, has accomplished their targeted goals of bringing solar to $1/watt well before their self imposed deadline. More importantly, SunShot has deployed taxpayer money in a intelligent way, monitored each project to great detail, audited the results and ensured cost sharing. My favorite part of the program is that it has resulted in $22 of private capital for every $1 of public money. We all know that there is not enough VC and angel money in our sector, but SunShot is doing their part. If you see the new head of SunShot, Charlie Gay, at SPI make sure to say hello and thank you for the team’s great work.
