Have you checked out our YouTube web page?
We have a ton video interviews and extra content material on our YouTube web page. Recently we debuted Power Forward! — a collaboration with BayWa r.e. to debate larger stage business subjects in addition to finest practices / tendencies for working a solar enterprise at this time.
Our longer working facet venture is The Pitch — wherein we’ve got awkward discussions with solar producers and suppliers about their new expertise and concepts in order that you do not have to. We’ve discusses every little thing from residential rail-less deck attaching and home solar financing to large-scale energy storage worth stacking and utility-driven new home solar + storage microgrids.
We additionally submit our Project of the Year bulletins there! Interviews with this 12 months’s winners shall be up beginning the week of Nov. 8. Head there and subscribe at this time to remain on high of all this further stuff.
