Tracking Corona’s Impact. Here is this week’s tracking survey for you to fill out. This is for everyone in the solar industry and it takes 2 minutes. If you fill it out, you get the full set of results. Please take the time and share it with your colleagues as well.
ITC In Play. Over the weekend I sent a special alert and you responded. No link in SolarWakeup history got clicked on more and you forwarded almost 10,000 times to friends and colleagues. Your involvement could mean the difference for solar as Congress addresses a stalemate at the Capitol. The Politico story will be stale by the time you see it but stay tuned to see if solar gets included in the 3rd stimulus bill coming out, likely today. Topping over $1.5Trillion, hard to fathom solar being left out.
Managing Your Business. The CEO of Soligent posted a well crafted powerpoint on things to consider as you run your business. I think Jon makes some important points and it’s worth your time to review his recommendations. At this moment, it’s crucial we all absorb as much information and advice as we can. These are uncharted waters for all of us.
Looking At The EV Future. A bright moment coming out of the shutdown is we get to see what the future looks like. Around the world, pollution is down and dolphins are swimming in the clear waters of Venice. In Los Angeles, there is a clear reduction in pollution in the air, likely caused by the lack of cars. Hence our need to convert to EVs as soon as possible, no cars and EVs are basically the same when it comes to pollution especially when combined with a 100% RPS.
