In dieser Episode des Energiezone-Podcasts reflektiere ich gemeinsam mit meinem Co-Moderator die Entwicklungen im Energiemarkt seit unserer letzten Aufzeichnung. Es wird deutlich, dass das Thema Energie die Menschen zunehmend beschäftigt, die sich mit der Optimierung ihrer Energieversorgung auseinandersetzen, insbesondere durch den Einsatz von Balkon-Solarkraftanlagen. Während unseres Gesprächs erwähne ich, wie sich mein berufliches Vorankommen im Bereich Energie effizient gestaltet, und diskutiere die Möglichkeiten, die sich für unsere Firma bei ONU ergeben haben, inklusive der Einstellung neuer Mitarbeiter. Ein zentrales Thema unserer Unterhaltung ist die aktuelle Lage hinsichtlich Überschussproduktion aus erneuerbaren Energien. Ich teile meine Erfahrungen mit der Nutzung meiner eigenen Solaranlage, namentlich die Herausforderungen und Überlegungen bezüglich der Einspeisung ins Stromnetz, insbesondere an windigen und sonnigen Tagen. Dabei veranschauliche ich technische Zusammenhänge, wie die Funktionsweise von Wallboxen und den Umgang mit Überschüssen. Wir beleuchten auch die Systemintegrationskosten im Zusammenhang mit dem Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien, insbesondere die ökonomischen Dilemmata, die teilweise eine langfristige Teuerung von Energie vorhersagen. Eine spezielle Studie von Christoph Bauer thematisiert die restriktiven Faktoren, die zu einer teuren Energiewende führen, und erfordert eine grundlegende Überprüfung der Strategie zu erneuerbaren Energien. Wir diskutieren die Rolle der Kostensystematik und der potenziell hohen Netzgebühren, während wir einen kritischen Blick auf die Effizienz verschiedener Energiespeicher werfen. Des Weiteren ziehen wir Parallelen zwischen den Entwicklungen in der deutschen Energiepolitik und internationalen Trends. Wir reflektieren über die Rolle der Kernkraft in Deutschland, beleuchten historische Entscheidungen und deren weitreichende Folgen. Insbesondere betonen wir die aktuelle Herausforderung, die mit einem erneuten Interesse an Kernenergie und deren Kontraproduktivität verbunden sind. Abschließend widmen wir uns der bevorstehenden Veranstaltung – dem Energiefrühstück im Rahmen der OMR – und stellen die Ziele und Themen des Panels vor. Darüber hinaus besprechen wir die bevorstehende Intersolar und die geplanten Diskussionen, die sich auf die Herausforderungen und Chancen der dezentralen versus zentralen Stromversorgung fokussieren.

On February 1 — that is, three days from now — President Donald Trump has promised to apply a tariff of 25% to all U.S. imports from Canada and Mexico, crude oil very much not excepted. Canada has been the largest source of American crude imports for more than 20 years. More than that, the U.S. oil industry has come to depend on Canada's thick, sulfurous oil to blend with America's light, sweet domestic product to suit its highly specialized refineries. If that heavy, gunky stuff suddenly becomes a lot more expensive, so will U.S. oil refining.Rory Johnston is an oil markets analyst in Toronto. He writes the Commodity Context newsletter, a data-driven look at oil markets and commodity flows. He's also a lecturer at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy and a fellow with the Canadian Global Affairs Institute and the Payne Institute for Public Policy at the Colorado School of Mines. He previously led commodities market research at Scotiabank. (And he's Canadian.)On this week's episode of Shift Key, Jesse and Jillian attempt to untangle the pile of spaghetti that is the U.S.-Canadian oil trade. Shift Key is hosted by Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University, and Jillian Goodman, Heatmap's deputy editor.

The Los Angeles wildfires have killed at least 27 people, destroyed more than 17,000 structures, and displaced tens of thousands. In the next few months, the billions of costs in damage to homes and property will ripple through the state's insurance market — and likely cause its insurer of last resort to run out of money.Benjamin Keys has studied how natural disasters, rising sea levels, and increasing exposure to risk have driven up insurance costs nationwide. He is a professor of real estate and finance at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and one of the country's top experts on climate change, home values, and insurance markets.On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse talk with Keys about how California broke its insurance market, why insurance costs are rising nationwide, and how homeowners, home buyers, and communities can protect themselves. They dive into President Donald Trump's dizzying first day of executive actions and how they'll affect the future of energy development.

Hydrogen. What are you even supposed to think about it? If you've spent serious time focusing on climate policy, you've heard the hype about hydrogen — about the miraculous things that it might do to eliminate carbon pollution from cars, power plants, steel mills, or more. You've also seen that hype fizzle out — even as governments have poured billions of dollars into making it work.On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse give you a rough guide for how to think about clean hydrogen, which could help decarbonize the industrial — even the molecular — side of the economy by storing energy and helping to make clean steel and chemicals. Do we really need hydrogen to fight climate change? Where would it be useful? And why has it failed to take off in the past? What will Trump and China mean for global hydrogen policy?

China's greenhouse gas emissions were essentially flat this year — or they recorded a tiny increase, according to a recent report from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, or CREA. A third of experts surveyed by the report believe that its coal emissions have peaked. Has the world's No. 1 emitter of carbon pollution now turned a corner on climate change? Lauri Myllyvirta is the co-founder and lead analyst at CREA, an independent research organization focused on air pollution and headquartered in Finland. Myllyvirta has worked on climate policy, pollution, and energy issues in Asia for the past decade, and he lived in Beijing from 2015 to 2019. On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse talk with Lauri about whether China's emissions have peaked, why the country is still building so much coal power (along with gobs of solar and wind), and the energy-intensive shift that its economy has taken in the past five years.

The Chinese electric automaker BYD is entering a new stage in its history. Last month, it sold more than half a million electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. BYD has already shipped more cars this year than Ford and Honda, and it is fast coming for Volkswagen, GM, and Toyota's crowns as the world's three largest automakers.Earlier this year, Rob and Jesse spoke with Ilaria Mazzocco, a senior fellow with the Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. She has watched China's EV industry grow from a small regional experiment into a planet-reshaping juggernaut. On this week's episode of Shift Key, we're re-running that conversation — one of our favorites ever to happen on the show.

The Inflation Reduction Act, President Joe Biden's landmark climate law, is the biggest investment in clean energy in American history. It is also in danger. In January, the Trump administration and a GOP Congress will take over the federal government — and they have made a variety of promises about how they'll disrupt the law, ranging from full repeal to a more “surgical” reform approach.On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse talk with Kristina Costa, who has worked since 2022 to implement the IRA's climate provisions at the White House. She joins us to discuss what went right about the Biden administration's rush to implement the law, why state government capacity is holding back Democratic policy goals, and why the federal government needs more tools to support energy innovation if it wants to keep up with China. She also discusses how the administration is trying to Trump-proof the law.

It's been a news-filled few weeks — so it's time for a roundup. On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse talk about what Trump's cabinet selections might mean for his climate policy and whether permitting reform could still happen. Then Rob chats with Corey Cantor, senior EV analyst at BloombergNEF, about promising Q3 sales for U.S. automakers, General Motors' turnaround, and how much the Trump administration might dent America's EV uptake.

Here's the bad news: The world is almost certainly going to miss the Paris Agreement's goal of keeping global temperatures from rising beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels. The needed emissions cuts are too large and the direction of policy too slow to lead to any other outcome. In the next few decades, global warming will slip past the 1.5 degree mark — and temperatures will keep rising.What does that mean? What comes next? And how should we feel about that? On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse chat with Kate Marvel, an associate research scientist at Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. We talk about why every 10th of a degree matters in the fight against climate change, the difference between tipping points and destabilizing feedback loops, and how to think about climate change in a disappointing time.

The rollbacks are coming. Donald Trump's incoming administration is expected to pull the United States out of the Paris Agreement, weaken the Environmental Protection Agency's rules for power plants and tailpipe pollution, and — potentially — rewrite or repeal big swaths of the Inflation Reduction Act. Each of those actions would seem to provide an opening for the world's No. 1 polluter — China — to assert global leadership and zip ahead in the next generation of clean energy technology.How will it respond? On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse chat with Jeremy Wallace, the A. Doak Barnett Professor of China Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Wallace, a Heatmap contributor, helps us understand how China is thinking about Trump, the current state of China's economy, and why China sometimes flexes its climate leadership — but just as often doesn't.

Last night, Donald Trump secured a second term in the White House. He campaigned on an aggressively pro-fossil -fuel agenda, promising to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, Biden's landmark 2022 climate law, and roll back Environmental Protection Agency rules governing power plant and car and truck pollution.On this week's episode of Shift Key, Jesse and Rob pick through the results of the election and try to figure out where climate advocates go from here. What will Trump 2.0 mean for the federal government's climate policy? Did climate policies notch any wins at the state level on Tuesday night? And where should decarbonization advocates focus their energy in the months and years to come?

It's all happening. The presidential election is a week away, and our cohost Jesse Jenkins is back from vacation. There is so much to talk about in the world of decarbonization and energy. So we tried to catch up on all of it. Are EV sales starting to rebound in the U.S.? What's up with the Cybertruck? And what about Senator Joe Manchin's permitting reform bill? On this week's episode of Shift Key, Jesse and Rob attempt to discuss all those questions and more. Peak oil demand — the IRA's focus on manufacturing — the emerging political economy of decarbonization — we hit it all. Or we try to, at least.

What's next for the Biden administration — and for climate policy in the United States? Should Democrats negotiate with Republicans over permitting reform, even if it means making concessions to fossil fuel interests? And how should the country's trade policy handle the problem of carbon pollution? On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob speaks with Ali Zaidi, the national climate advisor to President Joe Biden. Zaidi leads the White House Climate Policy Office, which coordinates domestic climate policy across federal agencies. Before joining the White House in 2021, Zaidi was the state of New York's deputy secretary for energy and environment. This interview was recorded live on October 10 in New Haven, Connecticut, at the Yale Clean Energy Conference.

How can you fight climate change in your daily life? Last month, Heatmap published our attempt at answering that question: Called Decarbonize Your Life, it's a series of stories and guides to help you make decisions that nudge the energy system away from fossil fuels. We consulted studies, ran our own analysis (with help from some friends), and used our expert judgment to arrive at six big, high-leverage actions you can take to fight climate change.On this week's episode of Shift Key, Jesse and Rob speak with Heatmap's deputy editor Jillian Goodman and founding staff writer Emily Pontecorvo about what those actions are, how the guide came together, and why big choices matter so much more than small ones.

This is a special Hurricane Helene edition of Shift Key. Our regular programming will resume next week.Nearly a week after Hurricane Helene made landfall, we are still coming to terms with the scale of its destruction. The storm killed at least 182 people, making it the deadliest cyclone to make landfall in the continental United States since Katrina. From Tampa Bay to Asheville, North Carolina, it caused the worst hurricane-related damage in a century.Why was Hurricane Helene so bad? Why did it cause such horrible flooding in western North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia? And did climate change have anything to do with its destruction? To answer these questions, Rob and Jesse speak with Gabriel Vecchi, a Princeton geoscientist and one of the world's top experts on hurricanes and climate change.

In just over a month, America will elect hundreds of thousands of people to state, county, and municipal offices. While those elections might lack the splashiness of the race for the White House or Congress, they could shape how and whether the United States fights climate change. So which elections matter most?On this week's episode of Shift Key, Jesse and Rob speak with Caroline Spears, the executive director of Climate Cabinet, a group that tries to do ‘Moneyball for climate policy,' analyzing the races that could matter most for the country's decarbonization. A winner of the Grist 50 award, Spears formerly worked in the solar industry and now leads the growing organization. We dive into which offices have the most sway role over adaptation and mitigation and which races deserve your attention in 2024.

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.

Natürlich lief für Markus Elsässer, Gründer und Geschäftsführer der in Pforzheim ansässigen Solarpromotion GmbH, in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten nicht immer alles so, wie er es sich gewünscht hätte. Aber mit seiner Gründung der Intersolar 1991 legte er den Grundstein für eine Erfolgsgeschichte in der Messewelt, die es nicht so oft gibt. Die Smarter E Europe vom 14. bis 16. Juni in München soll diese Geschichte nun fortschreiben. Die aktuellen politischen und wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen sorgen dafür, dass die auf seinen Messen vertretenen Branchen im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes golden Zeiten entgegengehen.

Florian Wessendorf, diretor executivo da The Smarter, conta um pouco sobre a vinda desse segmento para o Brasil, e como as relações exteriores do país estão em um crescimento acertivo.

Some of the areas of the NEC that we cover in this podcast are: NEC Article 702 Optional Standby Systems, Load Control, Disconnecting Means, UL 1741 for Power Control Systems, 706.15 Location Control for 1 and 2-family Dwellings Quotes: Bill Brooks (soon to be famous quotes). “Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge, are all getting listed as energy management systems.” “You will damage most generators if you run out of fuel under load.” “Hey Siri, turn off my ESS.” “Here's what happened in the 2023 Code.” “706.15 Location Control for 1- and 2-Family Dwellings, an ESS shall include an emergency shutdown function to cease the export of power from the ESS to the premises wiring of other systems.” “You could have a device that could have rapid shutdown and ESS emergency shutdown” “you could use the same switch” This is a recording of part of an NEC workshop at the Intersolar 2022 conference at the Long Beach California Convention Center in January 2022.   The workshop was titled: Energy Storage, PV and the NEC.   Bill Brooks is instrumental in the process of coming up with material for the NEC for renewable energy systems, especially for solar, energy storage and interconnections. Although the 2023 NEC has not been finalized or published, this is as good of a preview as you can get for knowing what the future will bring. Many manufacturers, engineers, CEOs and other decisionmakers can make better informed decisions about the future, knowing what will be in the National Electrical Code. Bill Brooks is on NEC Code Making Panel 4 (the alternative energy panel) and has been perhaps the most active member of the PV Industry Forum, which is where new material for the NEC for Solar PV, Energy Storage and Interconnections are made. Bill has been working on Codes and Standards for 34 years. Bill Brooks and Sean White also published the book PV and the NEC. Note: This podcast was recorded on an iPhone 13 and to my surprise the recording quality was way better than expected, so we decided to podcast it! WARNING: Bill Brooks and Sean White sometimes think they are funny. If you disagree with this and do not like dad jokes, do not listen to this podcast.

Some of the areas of the NEC that we cover in this podcast are: Ground Fault Protection, Ground Fault Detection and interruption (GFDI) term clarified (not to be confused with GFCI), 690.45 Equipment Grounding Conductors (EGC) includes DC and AC not having to increase size of EGC when upsizing current carrying conductor for voltage drop (now also applies to AC PV and modifies NEC 250.122), 250.122 EGC sized based on OCPD, Microgrid Interconnect Device (MID), Interactive Mode vs. Voltage Mode, putting multiple inverters prior to the first OCPD, 705.13 Power Control Systems (PCS) was changed to Energy Management Systems (EMS), EMS was previously just for loads, Tesla Powerwall, PCS is not the part of the EMS that is controlling sources, Batteries as Source and Load, EVs Article 625, and more! Quotes: Bill Brooks (soon to be famous quotes). “Changes in size for voltage drop do not have to increase the size of the equipment grounding conductor” “It's penalizing you for doing the right thing” Bill on 250.122 upsizing the EGC for voltage drop. “All we've done is we've taken the microgrid interconnect device and stuck it inside the inverter” Bill on multimode inverter with 2 AC outputs. “We could have a system that was 50kW going into a 100A service.” [South: at about 49 min, so let's put in intro.] “We have large systems right now, that have a 5MW interconnection that have a 30 PV array on them.”  “You can run a 400A feed to a large EV charging area, you can put 20 cars on it.” “The controller would never allow you to draw more than 400A.” “You have a controller that prevents the conductors from receiving too much current.” “At the end of the day, the NEC is all about safety. It's all about, we do not burn buildings down with correctly installed electrical equipment.” This is a recording of part of an NEC workshop at the Intersolar 2022 conference at the Long Beach California Convention Center in January 2022.   The workshop was titled: Energy Storage, PV and the NEC.   Bill Brooks is instrumental in the process of coming up with material for the NEC for renewable energy systems, especially for solar, energy storage and interconnections.

Many will instantly recognize the popular NPR Quiz show “Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!” If you don't, you really have missed one of the all-time-great NPR staples. Well, at Intersolar North America last month, Scott Nguyen, CEO of Bodhi Solar, and I hosted a very special version [Scott's brainchild] of WWDTM - the Solar Edition! Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me is a very entertaining quiz show built off real life stories from current events; as you might suspect, the solar edition draws from real (and hard-to-believe) stories curated from the solar industry at-large. We had a special group of panelists help deliver the stories (and some levity): Mark Culpepper from Dronebase, Kathy Heilmann from Shoals Technology Group and Stan Pipkin from Lighthouse Solar.  You are going to love the stories, and I hope it leaves you laughing, or at least wanting more! Join us for a fun and interesting time and play along to see how well you would have done on the show. Should we do more like this? Shoot me a LinkedIn Message and lmk!

Can Energy Storage unlock a “Solar-Plus-Storage-Powered Future” for the largely yet-to-be-disrupted Commercial and Industrial segment of solar? Today's guest, Yotta Energy's CEO, Omeed Badkoobeh, believes it can, and we get into the innovative storage technology they've created to address this behemoth and largely untapped market. Of the more than 22 GW of corporate renewable energy deals announced since 2008, more than 15 GW of these deals were announced since 2018, according to the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA) Corporate Renewable Energy Deal Tracker. Further, projections show that just within the Fortune 1000, C&I customers will need up to 85 GW of renewable energy through 2030.  Many developers & Installers today agree with REBA that solar growth in the U.S. and globally will come not from huge Utility segment, but from expansion in this commercial and industrial segment. So, if this is the case, how do these developers add energy storage capacity in an environment  where real estate is priced (and valued) down to the square foot? Despite the current situation around the world, long-term demand for C&I solar should remain strong for the foreseeable future.

Andrew Birch, affectionately referred to by many as simply “Birchy”, joins Nico in this live interview [rebroadcast] from the Intersolar N. America expo hall floor from Thursday January 13, 2022. Birchy is the Godfather of online solar sales (you may remember him as the co-founder and CEO of Sungevity), and always has keen insight into what's trending and what to consider within the fast-growing distributed solar arena. Birchy had just come from the CALSSA “Save our Solar Jobs Rally” in LA, and gives an update on the state of the industry in light of the recent negative press on CA's NEM3.0 ruling.  From the CALSSA website: “The CPUC'shttps://calssa.org/blog/2021/12/13/nem-3-proposed-decision ( proposed decision on NEM-3) would destroy net metering, ending our state's clean energy leadership and decimating our industry, and our jobs, in the process. This is our SOS, our chance to make our voices heard and insist that the PUC change course. Now is the time to go big. Our industry is on the line. Our jobs and livelihood are at stake. This is it.” And thousands did - they shut down their offices all over the state, took the day off, and came down from the roof for one morning to be there! If you couldn't make it, you're in luck because Nico asks Birchy for an update from the front lines. He then goes into what he sees as trends for the coming year as well as what he's changed his mind about (and it might surprise you, it did Nico!)

Ist es wirtschaftlich einen Batteriespeicher nachzurüsten? Muss ich auf die Zellchemie achten? Wie lässt sich die Alterung des Speichers ermitteln? Auf der größten europäischen Solar- und Speichermesse, der Intersolar, ees und Smarter E in München sind alle Heimspeicheranbieter wenige Schritte voneinander entfernt. pv magazine Redakteurin Cornelia Lichner hat Fragen der Besucher und aus unseren Webinaren aufgenommen und damit Senec, Fronius, Sonnen, E3/DC, Solarwatt und andere konfrontiert. Kai-Philipp Kairies, Speicherexperte an der RWTH Aachen, erklärt, wie man Garantiefälle erkennen kann. Chefredakteur Michael Fuhs stellt die Ergebnisse der aktuellen pv magazine Heimspeicherübersicht bezüglich der Speicherpreise kurz vor.

The shock-waves from the Coalition election win are being felt beyond Australia’s shores. Nigel Morris reports back from Intersolar in Munich and why some big developers are changing their plans, and abandoning Queensland altogether.

Ein Jahr nach der Übernahme durch den Energieriesen EnBW setzt der Speicherhersteller Senec quicklebendig Expansionspläne um. pv magazine Chefredakteur Michael Fuhs spricht in diesem Podcast mit einem der neuen Geschäftsführer, Jaron Schächter, über den Neustart und seinen Hintergrund.

Sully chats with the Solar Marketing Guys - Mike, and Kurt in Part One of the Countdown to InterSolar.

Playing a NYE midnight set alongside with opening for Marco Carola is both challenging and fun. You know you have the freedom to go everywhere and back, right in time to hand off things to the Italian don. I had the chance to sneak in a few classics and all time favourites as well as what recently has been rocking it for me. And they all blended way too well... you just knew the groove is there. Happy new 2018! Hope this one is bigger, better, faster & stronger for all of you! Enjoy it!

Welcome to Episode 43 of SunCast, Solar Warrior! While I was recently in SF for the Intersolar N.America show, I was on the lookout for products that I thought were innovative.  Thanks to my friend Tor Valenza, aka Solar Fred, I was introduced to the guys from Smappee.  Smappee is WAY more than just a monitoring device, and I had the privilege to sit down with the founder, Stefen Grosjean, himself a serial entrepreneur, to dig into exactly how he his positioning the US launch of this innovative product already available in 80+ countries! I'm happy to bring you that conversation, recorded live from Intersolar. In today's episode, we learn: How Stefen and the Smappee team have been disrupting the building automation and information business for years What exactly does Smappee do, and how could it revolutionize the smart home, not just connecting solar, but basically everything in the home What Stefen means that every appliance in the home has a "fingerprint", and how smappee can "hear" it all with only ONE sensor How the Blockchain can finally be realized for resi & commercial solar customers with Solarcoin - and of course how Smappee has been built to integrate it. And something I think is quite a unique approach or concept - Stefen envisions Smappee can be a gateway product, or door-opener for solar installers to get into offering smart home and automation services that lead to recurring revenue models! You can read more on the blog and see the show notes to this episode. Also, ACK (!) I gaffed in the intro and said Steffan hails from France - I beg his and your apology - Smappee and Stefan are from Belgium. I also get into Stefen's previous successful entrepreneurial ventures and what it takes to found and grow a company to exit (sold to Honeywell).  He blew my mind on several topics we discussed, and I was supremely impressed with Stefen, his product, vision and startup chops. I expect Smappee to do great things in their entry into the US Market.  And I expect enterprising solar installers to begin to realize the opportunity at their doorstep with integrating smart-home technologies into their sales process. And lastly, if you or someone you know is selling commercial solar, you should check out Solrates.com, the fast and Free online platform for providing your commercial customers with a credible lease financing proposal. If you have projects over $100K value, and you'd like to see how Solrates can help You quickly and easily deliver a financing proposal to your customers, please reach out to me directly for an invitation code to join the platform. Did I mention it's free? Please enjoy this week’s episode of SunCast, with the serial entrepreneur making his entry into the US market all the way from France - Stefen Grosjean of Smappee.
