This is your SolarWakeup for December 1st, 2017

SEIA Board Elections. Today is the last day to vote for the elected seats of the SEIA board. I do not know all of the candidates but I know too many to tell you who to vote for. So let me highlight the folks I know, that read SolarWakeup, or have introduced themselves to me in advance of this writing. The top story today is the link to the login for your SEIA membership so you can vote. Please do so. In general, I would recommend you vote for people that have helped you move your business forward, have gone out of their way to advocate in your State or helped the industry even if it didn’t look like it would help themselves. In no particular order, my highlights below. I do ask you however, that you vote for Kendra Hubbard, my reason below.

Kendra Hubbard. Currently with UniRac, Kendra is passionate about solar. I first met her at InterSolar when she came to the conference even though she wasn’t working in solar yet but knew she wanted to get herself into it. I’ll never forget sitting at the dinner speaking with Kendra and wondering to myself who would do such a thing. Kendra should be on the board, her passion is needed and I hope you will cast this vote for Kendra.

Chris Diaz. Chris has been in solar a long time a Principal at Seminole Financial based in Florida.

Bret Sowers. Bret is with Southern Current and works very closely with Solar Powers America, the PAC working to educate legislators on a bipartisan basis.

Tom Hunt. Tom is with Clean Energy Collective  based in Denver and a loyal reader of SolarWakeup.

Adam Shor. Adam is based in Golden, Colorado and Principal at Shor Power.

Brad Stutzman. Brad is the COO and co-founder at O3 Energy based in Dallas, Texas.

DC Agenda Is Final! We will have 5 fantastic conversations. Three 1 on 1 interviews and two discussions with two speakers joining me. The interviews are with Amy Harder of Axios, Congresswoman Gonzalez-Colon of Puerto Rico and Andrea Luecke of The Solar Foundation. The discussions will be about how 100% renewable energy is feasible and what would need to happen to execute on this and what it will take to reinvigorate the Maryland solar market. Join us if you can, we added a few more seats for last minute registrations.

Sponsored by Mintz Levin. Mintz Levin is an Am Law 100 law firm with a nationally recognized Energy & Sustainability Practice that has completed more than 500 transactions across energy sectors totaling over $7.5 billion since 2006.
