This is your SolarWakeup for July 9th, 2019

Trump Gets Into Climate. Surprising most of us including energy reporters, Trump gave a  speech focused on the environment but didn’t say the words climate change. This was followed by a call with reporters that made it across my twitter feed, here’s a sample of the line of questioning. 

The Voter’s Impact. Don’t be fooled, Trump’s campaign is testing the waters on environmental issues with the voters to see if there is traction. The DNC is clearly getting attention (read media time) on the topic and the campaign wants to get some of the tv time. Polling is clear that voters care of the environment, clean air and clean water amongst other things. Whether this reflects on the issues that drive who voters will vote for is yet to be determined and has been the source of most of the political skepticism when it comes to climate policy. 

My Florida Story. Read my thoughts and some behind the scenes views on why Quick Mount PV entered the Florida market ahead of the historic run that 2019 has been for the State. I’m hoping that this gives some insight on the decision making we are trying to use to get closer to the installers across the Country. If you have ideas on how we can do more, please do let me know. 

Brazil’s Turnaround. Trying to selling 50MW or so in Brazil a few years ago was nearly impossible, I tried. Now that pipeline of solar assets is getting gobbled up. Timing, is everything. 

Support CALSSA. Go ahead and check out Solar Battle of the Bands if you are in the SF area tonight. It’s an important source of funds for CALSSA.

Have a great day!
