This is your SolarWakeup for August 7th, 2019

Farmers For Solar. With the farmers across America getting hurt by the trade war even worse than the solar community, now is the time to help them farm a new crop, solar panels. This is obviously a more nuanced statement but solar developers and farmers have had a bond for over a decade as the two sectors align perfectly. Going back to the last ITC extension, California farmers played a central role to explain the value of solar to Kevin McCarthy and helped create a path to the extension. This time we need local political influence from the farming community to work with solar advocates to open up new markets. Across the midwest, there are viable solar markets were it not for bad local policies that monopolize the opportunity for the powerful corporations. 

Political Statements. I’d like to see a Senate campaign make a case to lure independents and conservatives with solar. In Kentucky for example, why not showcase the success that solar has had in Texas or South Carolina and ask why solar isn’t prevalent in Kentucky creating job opportunities especially for those harmed by coal markets imploding. The ad campaign could even use the words of conservatives, like Rep Tom Massie (known for his attack on John Kerry’s Poli Sci degree), who is both a solar and EV owner.
