This is your SolarWakeup for July 27th, 2020

Take The Survey. SolarWakeup is hosting a survey on the current state of solar and the expectations for the rest of the year. 5 questions in 3 minutes. Survey closes at the end of today.

Hear The Results. Tomorrow morning, I’ll be joining Phil Shen from Roth Capital to talk about the results and a Q&A on the current state of the market. You can register for that call here.

7 For The Majority. A group of GOP senators wrote to the Majority Leader requesting the extension of clean energy tax benefits in the next stimulus bill. The list includes Senator Graham, who routinely plays golf with Trump. It also has at-risk Senators from Colorado, Arizona and Maine. Politically, Graham alone could make this a priority and get it done. The Majority Leader could also choose to help the senators in a tough political battle, we all know that solar polls well on both sides. Reminder, take action when you get those emails from your trade groups.

De-lobby The Monopoly. Last week we saw the indictment regarding HB 6, the coal and nuclear bailout bill, and the $61million bribe it took to get the billion subsidy passed. At first the governor said he didn’t want it to repeal it but later reversed course. Over the weekend, it also came out that First Energy was not alone in their involvement. Documents outlined by the Energy and Policy Institute show that AEP also got involved to the potential tune of $13million. This money apparently went to a dark money group that was involved.

Hook’em Ohms. Elon is bringing the cybertruck to Austin along with the 5,000 jobs that the factory will create. A big win for Texas and creates for interesting politics around clean energy for a state that politically has not been known for politics on the issue. That being said, Texas is one of the fastest growing solar markets for residential and utility scale and SpaceX has operations not too far from Austin.
