Energy Road Show Finale in NYC. Next week will be the end of the energy storage tour. After three successful trips through California, a lot of takeaways that guide a strong guidance on where energy storage is going in the solar industry. Next week, I will be in New York to discuss with capital providers what the next steps are to get more capital into this market and the path for energy storage needs to take to scale in solar.
