Storage Wars. Q Cells is acquiring Geli, the software that helps manage your storage assets. Geli has been around for many years and has been focused on the C&I market which Q Cells is seeing possible upsides in. The reality is that storage is the undervalued, under compensated and correctly hyped part of the solar market.
Situational ALertness. Trump reinstated a 10% tariff on certain Canadian aluminum. This can include US made aluminum that has to go to Canada for painting or manufacturing.
Solar For You, A Phone Call For Solar. Recent SolarWakeup Podcast guest, TJ Kanczuzewksi from Inovateus, is building a solar farm at the University of Illinois for Sol Systems. Here’s my ask, the Chancellor of the University should dial the lobbyists and the speaker’s office to get the Illinois legislation passed. Surely Illinois believes that going solar should be something everyone in Illinois should have access to.
SolarAPP For Faster Solar. There’s the launch of SolarAPP coming up in a few months. Contact the staff at RMI if you have an AHJ that may be interested in being part of the pilot. Instant permits will cut the time from contract to install in half.
Installer Checks. SunPower’s Q2 success has a lot to do with the resilience of contractors. I spoke with the CEO of Freedom Solar in Austin, Bret Biggart, about his exclusive relationship with SunPower in Texas. Freedom is rebounding through and after COVID and sees record leads coming through, even expanding into Colorado. Storage is still a small segment of their market, given the geography, but consumers continue to grow their appetite for solar.
$50K For Policy Chat. Yesterday, a team of solar pros in Clean Energy for Biden held a fundraiser for the campaign with US Senator Heinrich of New Mexico and two former FERC commissioners. For an hour the discussion covered DERs, FERC orders, transmission and regulatory independence. The idea that a US Senator was able to talk nuanced policy gave me hope while raising nearly $50k would have been unthought of a few years ago. Stay tuned for an upcoming event with former Governor and now Congressman Charlie Crist, we’ll talk solar there as well.
Buyer’s Group. Are you getting the Buyer’s Group emails? If not and you would like to, hit reply. Did you know that the largest buyer of toilet paper in America is Costco? You most likely did and that’s why so many of us pay to be part of the club. That was the inspiration behind SolarWakeup Buyer’s Group, go here for more info.
