Solar energy was the most expensive energy in the world 25 years ago and now it is the least expensive energy in the world. This is because Hans-Josef Fell invented a policy called the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) that made it a good financial decision to invest in solar back when solar was very expensive. This caused mass production of solar technologies and the price of solar systems went down orders of magnitude. The first FIT program was in Hans-Josef's hometown in Bavaria Germany and was capped at 15kW for the entire program (now that is how much solar that is over my head). The FIT price was 2 Marks (pre-Euro money) per kWh, which was about $1 US. With the FIT, there was a law requiring the utility to pay the solar system owner a price for the electricity for usually 20 years, so that people will have the incentive to purchase grid-tied solar. 1000 years from now, Hans-Josef will be recognized as saving the planet and as the most important person of our era.   Topics Covered: Hans-Josef Fell's Credentials: Started the world's first Feed-In-Tariff Co-author of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act 2000 with Hermann Scheer Member of the German Parliament representing the 15 years (Green Party) President of Energy Watch Group Author of Global Cooling Past Vice President of Eurosolar City Counselor School Teacher   Awards: Global Leadership Award in Advancing Solar Energy Policy – In Honor of Hermann Scheer, January 2019 LUI Che Woo Prize – Prize for World Civilization, Recognizing lifetime achievements for sustainable global development, January 2018 Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, January 2015 Bavarian Order of Merit, January 2012 Bonda Award – European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA), January 2006 Nuclear-Free Future Award, January 2001 Energy Globe Award, January 2000 Solar Award – European Solar Energy Association (EUROSOLAR), January 1994   I met Hans-Josef Fell at the Intersolar Germany conference in May (also known as The Smarter E) thanks to Tomasz Slusarz, who invited me to a Cleantech Business Club dinner near the Hofbräuhaus München, (where I drank beer as a teenager). I was fortunate to sit next to Hans-Josef and have non-alcoholic beer with him! #TogetherWeAreStronger   Contact info: Website: www.hans-josef-fell.de LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/hansjoseffell   Global Cooling book: https://a.co/d/6JlAOw5  

Ward Bower pretty much invented the modern solar industry and the grid-tied inverter. Bill Brooks, who everyone knows is another one of the greatest solar minds of all time gives Sean a hand interviewing their friend Ward Bower. Ward has had a Forrest Gump type of experience in the solar industry, being there when everything happened. He saw the founding of NABCEP, the modern grid-tied inverter, he sits on many panels writing the codes that make solar safe. Ward and Bill have been working closely together on the National Electrical Code for decades. Sean First met Ward when he was recruited for a NABCEP committee and met at Sandia Labs in New Mexico.   Ward is the nicest person with a huge heart and deserves a lot more nice things to be said about him than what we are saying about him here.   For those of you listening to this podcast far in the future, after we are long gone, do your best to use this recording to make an AI version of Ward.   This podcast was recorded on the Suncast Media stage during NABCEP Conference in Reno in 2025!   Topics covered: History of PV Industry = Photovoltaics NEC = National Electrical Code Ungrounded Systems Power Conditioning Systems Power Control Systems Article 690 Line Commutated Control Technologies UL IEEE = Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Microgrid NABCEP = North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners Inverter with Rotating Equipment in it   Reach out to Ward Bower & Bill Brooks Here: Ward Bower's Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/ward-bower Bill Brooks' Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/bill-brooks   Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean's classes at www.heatspring.com/sean   This podcast is a special release in honor of the godfather of the modern solar revolution Hermann Scheer. This is the second annual Hermann Scheer edition. To learn more about Mr. Scheer, listen to his friend Eicke Weber who was on this podcast exactly 1 year ago, which would have been Hermann Scheer's 80th Birthday. Today Hermann would have been 81.   Eicke Weber talks about Hermann Scheer: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eicke-weber-hermann-scheers-80th-bd-4-29-1944-scheer/id1441958371?i=1000653913046    Hermann Scheer article: https://rightlivelihood.org/the-change-makers/find-a-laureate/hermann-scheer/

Seit Jahrzehnten träumt die Menschheit von unbegrenzter und kostenfreier Energie. In diesem Jahrhundert könnte der Traum wahr werden, denn die Solarenergie übertrifft seit den 1960er-Jahren zuverlässig alle Erwartungen. Bis heute wird sie jedes Jahr günstiger und besser. "Es spricht nicht viel dafür, dass dieser Trend schlagartig endet", sagt Christian Breyer. Effizienter werden und Kosten trimmen - das sei die "paranoide DNA der Industrie", erklärt der Solarökonom von der Technischen Universität Lappeenranta (LUT) in Finnland im "Klima-Labor" von ntv. Das Ergebnis beeindruckt: "Das Anwendungsprofil kann noch so unterschiedlich sein, es gibt keinen Ort auf dieser Welt, wo man Solarenergie nicht sinnvoll für wenige Cent nutzen kann", sagt Breyer. Ein deutscher Politiker hat es schon in den 90er-Jahren kommen sehen.Das Interview mit Christian Breyer könnt ihr auch auf ntv.de lesen. Einfach hier klicken.Moderation?

Hermann Scheer (RIP) was a German politician who is responsible for making grid- connected solar profitable in about the year 2000 as he brought the German policy for reimbursing people for solar energy, so that they would make a profit. This brought about years where over half of the World's installed PV was in Germany. This created the modern solar industry and kick-started modern PV manufacturing. If it were not for Hermann Scheer, we would probably be 10 years behind where we are now with PV prices and installed capacity. Eicke Weber was a friend of Hermann Scheer and Eicke was also the director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems for 10 years, which is the European equivalent of NREL. Eicke brought Intersolar to San Francisco, he was on UC Berkely Faculty and has done a million other things, while remaining a really nice person. I am proud to call Eicke a friend.   Hermann Sheer's Legacy www.ilsr.org/hermann-scheers-feed-tariff-legacy-75-worlds- solar-pv/ Bill Brooks www.brooksolar.com Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en Madam Mi Fusion National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) www.NREL.gov International Solar Energy Society www.ISES.org Governor Jerry Brown California Solar Initiative (CSI) SNEC World's Largest Renewable Energy Conference www.pv.snec.org.cn Nancy and George Lightman Hans-Josef www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Josef_Fell Swanson's Law Feed in Tariff (FIT) Sultan Al Jaber Irena www.IRENA.org International Solar Energy Society (ISES) www.ises.org PV manufacturing in China Deng Xiaoping IRA John Kerry Deng Xiaoping CO2 PV Technology and Market Developments Global Shifts in Energy Policy Clean Tech Business Club www.cleantechbusiness.club Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean's classes at www.heatspring.com/sean

Vor 15 Jahren wurde maßgeblich auf deutsche Initiative, basierend auf einen Vorschlag von Hermann Scheer, die Internationale Agentur für Erneuerbare Energien IRENA trotz erheblicher Widerstände gegründet. Inzwischen hat die Agentur mehr als 150 Mitgliedsländer und nimmt einen festen Platz in der globalen Architektur ein. IRENA berät vor allem Regierungen bei der Einführung Erneuerbarer Energien, und hat dazu inzwischen substanzielle Expertise aufgebaut. Ich spreche mit Roland Roesch, Direktor des in Bonn ansässigen IRENA Innovation & Technology Center, über die Rolle von IRENA auf der internationalen Ebene – einschließlich der internationalen Klimaverhandlungen und der vor einigen Wochen abgehaltenen Welt-Klimakonferenz COP28. Welche Rolle spielt IRENA inzwischen auf globaler Ebene? Was wurde bei COP28 für die weltweite Energiewende erreicht? Wieweit wird die Expertise von IRENA einbezogen, wenn international klima- und energiepolitisch weitreichende Entscheidungen diskutiert und getroffen werden? Wer versucht auf die Arbeit der Agentur Einfluss zu nehmen? Und wie verhält sich der scheinbare Widerspruch zwischen globalem Denken und lokalem Handeln in der alltäglichen Arbeit von IRENA?

In der heutigen Episode der Gottlosen Type geht es um ein hoch aktuelles Thema, die überfällige Solarwende und manche Überraschung auf meinen Wegen durchs Allgäu. Auch für LINKE ist das relevant. Ich bin der Auffassung, dass LINKE im 21. Jahrhundert gleichzeitig sozial, grün und Piraten sein müssen. Aber sehen und hören Sie selbst: Die SPD, die CSU und "Die 4. Revolution" kommen auch vor.

When light comes from the closest star (the sun), it will give us solar power and solar energy. We are going to talk about the difference and how to quantify irradiance and irradiation. We also get into solar insolation, tilt angles, peak sun hours in different locations including Germany, the home of Hermann Scheer who kicked off the solar revolution!   To have fun and to learn more about solar and storage, go to SolarSEAN.com
