Storage Week. Find me at the Storage Week event tomorrow to talk about how energy storage development is progressing and what type of contracts are making the rounds. In two weeks, I will be in Denver for the COSEIA conference to interview the founders of the Clean Energy Credit Union, a great new concept for solar. Most importantly, join me in San Francisco on April 10th for SolarWakeup Live and buy your ticket here.
Discussing 201. This episode of SolarWakeup Live was recorded in New York. I go behind the scenes on the 201 tariff with CEO of PanelClaw, Costa Nicolaou. We debate the work that was done solar industry and where it went well and where it needs to be improved in future legislative fights. This was a fun conversation, pre-Super Bowl so you have to ignore my less than confident jabs at Tom Brady’s tactics. If you enjoy these conversations, please rate the podcast on iTunes.
SEIA News Making. The message is “solar going on the offensive” to execute on the newly states vision that SEIA released ahead of its board meeting. Newly elected board members are sitting for the first time to represent the solar industry. Members of the board tell me they expect to hear some ideas on changing things up a bit, even though some things will remain the same, namely the trade show partnership with SEPA. No details yet on what is happening at the board but if the latest media blitz is a sign of things to come, expect more Abby Hopper with a more aggressive tone. At least when compared to the first interview she gave last January right here with SolarWakeup. Stay tuned.
