This is your SolarWakeup for February 11th, 2020

Growth Without Pollution. With positive GDP growth across the world last year it is a departure from the norm that global emissions were flat. Still, with 33.3 gigatonnes of CO2 output, there is more work to do but when the economy grows it has always been the case that emissions do as well. This means that business health is diverging from climate sickness and that’s a step into the right direction.

The Kitchen Sink SolarCo. Real Good Solar has tried it all in the nearly 50 years that it has been around. Going public more than 10 years proved to change the path for the company from which it had difficulty recovering from and ultimately led it to the end last month when it closed the doors and filed for bankruptcy. Over the past decade the RGS got into solar shingles/tiles and even hoped to be a reverse merger vehicle for utility scale solar companies hoping to get public quickly. The OG solar guard will remember RGS as something much bigger and important than those that only encountered the most recent iteration but future solar pros will have to read the history books to learn the name.

4X But More To Come. New estimates show a step growth in residential energy storage in California this year up to 50,000 units to be installed. Let’s be real, that’s nothing compared to where we are going. First, the attachment rate is going to continue to climb but more importantly the retrofit market for adding storage to existing solar is going to be huge. Look to see what percentage of storage goes to existing solar.

Opinion

• Grist: Most teachers don’t talk about climate change in the classroom. Washington state is trying to fix that.
