Content Channel. One of the interesting aspects of SolarWakeup is the daily readership looking for interesting content. So in an effort to gain new perspectives, I’d love to get your ideas on where you’re seeing interesting ideas, thoughts and advice. That way, we can leverage this digital auditorium for more content distribution. In many ways, this is the largest daily audience in the solar industry, akin to that you would see during the opening speeches of RE+.

Resi’s Circularity. Interest rates rising, changes in net metering policies, and inventory within distribution is too high, those are the challenges facing installers across the Country. On the other side of the equation, interest rates and inflation are also challenging the utilities resulting in higher energy prices. Interest rates will come down but I’ve never seen electricity prices do the same which means that some advantages could come out of this for the residential market. At some point, distribution will have to move the inventory and there’s already talk of price cuts which will enable some margin retention by the installer as well. Lastly, look for innovation or as I like to call it, focusing on what you do best. This will enable everyone to partner more and drive more volume on the thing you do best.

Modeling Demand Increase. This won’t be the last time you hear about a utility talking about modeling charging demand from a segment. Modeling and economic growth is also impacting data centers and industrial use but ultimately the ability to electrify transportation is a problem for the grid.

Coastal Congestion. I’m not talking about the traffic in my neighborhood when New Yorkers and Canadians come to Florida, we’re talking about the grid. Generally, grids send a signal based on congestion pricing to entice more ancillary services to deliver in that node. The interesting aspect of this is that most of the offshore wind has interconnection points at the coastal region nearest the power plants. So if you imagine the wires connecting the turbines together, adding the power together and then running a wire from there to the grid where it needs to deliver energy. That interconnection points needs to be a stable foundation so it not only eliminates stress on the grid but also is able to accept the massive power coming from the offshore wind farms. That’s what the Orsted exec in the top article is trying to point out, the grid needs to be able to manage the influx at those interconnection points.

Perfect Is The Enemy. The most frustrating thing about solar is even with all of the successes, the opposition continues to be fierce from tiny concentration. Today’s announcement about working with environmental groups is why I’m so proud to serve on the board of SEIA. For the sake of the planet, resilience of the grid and maintaining lower costs for consumers, we need to build all of the solar we can, everywhere we can. Every house, building and position in the interconnection queue should be solarized. This will not only solve our grid problems, it will enable a massive decarbonization but also deploy trillions of dollars and create endless jobs. Instead, the solar industry is talking about permit issues and being stuck in interconnection backlogs. When I got into solar, a 190W panel cost $4.00/watt and every politician told me the subsidies would never go away, so we’ve done the hard part, let’s do more that let’s the industry get back to work.
