This is your SolarWakeup for August 26th, 2021

What’s At Stake. If you missed the news yesterday, the team at FlexGen announced a $150 Million equity commitment from Apollo. This very well could be one of the largest private market equity commitments to an energy storage integration platform but it also signifies the importance of the energy transition. Adding more renewable energy and enhancing resiliency means building a grid that is reliable and intelligent. With this addition of capital, it allows FlexGen to accelerate our support of the energy markets from development through operations. The best in class integration and packaging services are matched with the leading software platform in the energy storage market today. In ClimateTech, like energy storage, it is the software that allows the hardware to operate to maximum efficiency and maximum profitability for asset owners.

A Personal Addition. Thank you all for the personal notes. Over the past 9 years, we’ve built a digital relationship that has become a part of my everyday life and I’m happy to be able to share these great events with you along the way. FlexGen is advantaged by our dialogue and if you share our vision and believe in the mission, we are hiring. Our team is looking for the best and brightest across the org chart, from engineers in systems, hardware and software but also in operations and business development.
