This is your SolarWakeup for October 8th, 2013

AB 327 is now law in CA, let the CPUC wrangling commence (in case you think it hasn’t already).  Now the discussions continue in other States including how energy storage will impact net metering/interconnection.  At some point the conversation will be about the utility business model and its adaptation.

Happy Birthday to the quiet partner of SolarWakeup.com, my wife, who enjoys my take on the solar news every day of the week.  The rundown could not happen without her!

This is your SolarWakeup for October 7th, 2013

The focus of our news coverage is the US but sometimes news come out of other markets that may give our markets a look into the future.  An interesting view at what is happening to Australian utilities with regard to the decrease of baseload.  Of course, we have already seen the impacts of distributed generation and efficiency here but the future will continue the trend in a hockey stick trend.

Two more weeks to get ready for SPI.  Make sure you get prepared for the show, it is always a bit busier than expected with meetings and good times seeing old friends.  Make sure to catch the great events IREC is putting on, a group that has quietly become the standard bearer for … standards.  And if you plan to wear a suit, make sure you know why!

This is your SolarWakeup for October 3rd, 2013

I recall helping a solar decathlon team a few years ago and thinking how far out all of those ideas were.  Today, in what seems to be a leap into the future, the homes seems so realistic for everyday life.  Congrats to the students exhibiting at this year’s event.  Please support them by seeing their work and helping future competitors.
