This is your SolarWakeup for October 9th, 2023

I Sit Down With Energy Storage News. Last month, in Las Vegas, I had the pleasure to sit down with Andy Colthorpe of Energy-Storage News. This is the second year in a row that Andy and I have the chance to share notes on the storage market and how it may play out. Of course, I share our FlexGen notes as well. As the storage ecosystem evolves, it’s important for companies to clearly state what we wake up thinking about and for FlexGen it’s all about turning your batteries on and keeping them on with the operating system that’s 15 years in the making. The headline says it all, if you’re building a storage asset, we think it should run on FlexGen’s energy management system.
