UNC Climate Summit. Some conferences may lack industry notoriety but are full of solar celebrities. I spent the last two days networking in the halls of UNC’s conference center hearing about lots of AI and ideas around solar’s future but also stories from the past from folks like Markus Wilhelm (Strata Solar CEO), Ahmad Chatila and Jigar Shah. I even made my first appearance on the infamous SunCast video stream. Hats off to the organizers for the summit. It was made extra special for us at FTC as we announced our first expansion of our MSA with Strata Solar, adding 1GW of trackers to the agreement.
