This is your SolarWakeup for November 1st, 2013

Yesterday was the anniversary for Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy.  A year and $65Billion later, it is one of the greatest climate disasters of all time.  It also showed the potential and shortfall of distributed solar generation.  Many owners were surprised that solar on their roofs could not provide off-grid energy but an opportunity was born.  The marriage of DG Baseload like CHP or energy storage with solar presents the opportunity of the next decade, microgrids and reduction of utility dependencies.

This is your SolarWakeup for October 31st, 2013

Happy Halloween! As a SolarWakeup treat I want to point you to two reads for the holiday.

1. Women4Solar is a group of women in the solar industry who feel passionately the industry can do a better job communicating with female homeowners and Moms.  The group is helping solar companies sell more effectively to women, and I love their idea!

2. Jigar Shah, the well known founder of Sunedison, has published his book, Creating Climate Wealth.  While I have not read it yet, I plan to and will make sure to let you know how good it is. Let me know if you have gotten the chance to read it!

The solar industry is a great place to work.  While it has its challenges, it is great to see new innovation be recognized.  Either at the start-up alley during SPI or by the DOE SunShot program.  I have the privilege to work with great innovators in the solar industry as part of one of the companies in the SunShot program, congratulations to all of the companies recognized in the latest round.  The combined work will result in more solar being installed across the Country.
