Despite claims that the energy transition is losing momentum, solar and battery deployment continues to run ahead of forecasts – profoundly impacting electricity markets and the wider global energy system. Recorded at The smarter E Europe 2026 in Munich, host Jonathan Gifford is joined by Jarand Rystad, founder and CEO of energy analysts Rystad Energy, to examine where the transition stands today. Rystad explains why solar has consistently outpaced forecasts and how mass production, aggressive cost reduction, and rapid battery-technology deployment are driving continued expansion. But alongside the upside, the conversation turns to one of solar's biggest challenges: falling capture prices as abundant midday PV generation pushes down the value of electricity during daylight hours. Rystad argues that accelerating battery deployment is helping to address this imbalance, shifting excess generation, and ultimately making space for even more renewables. The conversation also explores how storage business models are evolving, the prospects for European solar manufacturing and next-generation perovskite technologies, and whether energy-security concerns could further accelerate the electrification of transportation. Together, these trends point to solar and batteries increasingly working in tandem to create a cheaper, flexible, and electrified energy system. ✉️ Questions or feedback?

Devocional do dia 14/08/2026 com o tema: Decisões O tempo todo nos vemos diante de decisões. Em alguns casos, temos tempo para considerar todas as implicações, mas nem sempre é assim, e nos vemos tendo de decidir com urgência. Seja qual for o caso, precisamos percorrer uma série de fatores antes de dar o veredito, mas o mais importante é sempre consultar Deus em primeiro lugar. Teve uma época em que me apaixonei por uma garota. Ela era linda, inteligente, com bons valores e princípios. Eu tinha duas opções: a primeira era entender se Deus aprovaria a relação. A segunda, seguir meus instintos. Busquei no Senhor a direção, mas parecia que ele não queria responder. Eu tentava não perder a jovem de vista e, enquanto Deus não me dava sinais, seguia cortejando. A certa altura, perdi a paz naquela possibilidade de relação e entendi que aquela era a resposta do Senhor. LEITURA BÍBLICA: 1 Reis 22.1-5 Ao homem pertencem os planos do coração, mas do SENHOR vem a resposta da língua (Pv 16.1).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Run, don't walk, over to www.letmesumup.net and subscribe to our Patreon to hear which hills your intrepid hosts think are are worth dying on. — This week your intrepid hosts have their eyes on Canberra for the entree and main course, and begin with a substantial speech from Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen at the National Press Club. Lots to digest in here, but the big ticket was the minister's announcement to expand the Small Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) to include deemed incentives for 5 years' generation until 2030 of solar PV systems up to 1 MW, up from 100 kW. This idea has been doing the rounds for years and we reckon, it's an idea whose time has well and truly come! Also packed into the speech was some more meat-on-bones for data centre energy requirements in the forthcoming National Standards - but lots more to come on that front! Our main course Summerupperers, this is the kind of episode your intrepid hosts were born for! This week we chow down on some classic LMSU content. That's right, we speak of the government's just-released 2026-27 Safeguard Mechanism Review consultation paper. Adding to our collection of Safeguard-related episodes, we go long on this one! Much anticipated and promised since 2023, this review is looking at how effective the current settings are in delivering the government's 2030 emissions target, and whether adjustments are needed, as well as what the post-2030 settings should be. In the mix: decline rates! Financial support! To ACCU or not to ACCU! Thresholds! Cost of containment! And dare we say it, a little border carbon adjustment, just adjusting carbon at the border? Let's make BoCA a thing, people! One more things Tennant's One More Thing is: Research showing US Permian Basin methane leakage was nearly halved from 2019 to 2023. Effort, and regulation, make a difference!  Frankie's One More Thing is: a PSA for some soon-to-be-published research from her day job at Investor Group on Climate Change on proposed reforms to the Safeguard Mechanism! The report will be launched in Canberra early next week, so keep your eyes peeled here. Luke's One More Thing is: a rant about some seriously shortsighted and retrograde comments made by the Federal Opposition, committing to replace the National Construction Code with a basic housing standard based on the 1988 building code, before things like energy efficiency provisions were added. Where to start on this particular head scratcher? Hard to imagine a parliamentarian arguing for higher energy bills for vulnerable households, but these are topsy turvy times we live in.  And that's it for now, Summerupperers.

Automobilkurznachrichten von Michael Weyland

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland   Thema heute: ADAC untersucht Ladeverluste von E-Autos / Haushaltssteckdose ist und bleibt eine Notlösung Foto: ADAC Wenn ein E-Auto geladen wird, kann nicht die gesamte elektrische Energie in der Batterie gespeichert werden. Das ist technisch nicht möglich, denn während des Ladevorgangs sind einige Bordsysteme im Fahrzeug aktiv, die Strom benötigen. Außerdem entstehen Verluste bei der Umwandlung von Wechselstrom in Gleichstrom. Wie hoch dieser zusätzliche Energiebedarf genau ausfällt, hat der ADAC in einer Studie mit fünf aktuellen E-Autos untersucht. Die Fahrzeuge wurden dafür an einer Haushaltssteckdose und einer Wallbox aufgeladen. An der Wallbox erfolgten die Ladevorgänge jeweils mit maximaler Leistung und mit reduzierter Ladeleistung, wodurch das Laden mit überschüssigem Strom aus einer PV-Anlage simuliert wurde. Das Ergebnis ist eindeutig: Das Laden an der Haushaltssteckdose mit 2,3 kW ist bei allen Autos mit den höchsten Verlusten verbunden. Am ineffizientesten zeigte sich der Mercedes-Benz CLA EQ, bei dem fast ein Viertel des verbrauchten Stroms nicht im Akku landete. Bei allen anderen Fahrzeugen lagen die Verluste bei rund 15 Prozent. Effizienter ist das Laden mit überschüssigem Strom aus einer PV-Anlage, selbst wenn die Ladeleistung aufgrund geringen Ertrags auf 4,2 kW reduziert wird. Die Verluste bei allen Autos in der Studie lagen dabei unter 13 Prozent. Am effizientesten ist es jedoch, das Fahrzeug an einer Wallbox mit der höchstmöglichen Ladeleistung aufzuladen. Je nach Fahrzeug sind das 11 kW oder auch 22 kW: Alle Ladeverluste lagen in diesem Szenario unter sieben Prozent. Am effizientesten war der Renault R5, der sowohl beim PV-Überschussladen als auch an der Wallbox die geringsten Verluste aufwies. Aus Sicht des ADAC bekräftigen diese Ergebnisse die bestehende Empfehlung: Die Haushaltssteckdose ist nicht nur aus Sicherheitsgründen, sondern auch im Sinne der Effizienz zum regelmäßigen Laden eines E-Autos ungeeignet und sollte als Notlösung betrachtet werden. Wer sich detailliert mit den Ladeverlusten eines Fahrzeugs auseinandersetzen will, dem empfiehlt der ADAC einen Blick in die Datenbank von Green NCAP. Das Verbraucherschutzprogramm bewertet die Umweltauswirkungen aktueller Fahrzeuge. Bei E-Autos spielt das Thema Energieeffizienz eine große Rolle, wobei auch die Ladeverluste an der heimischen Wallbox ermittelt werden.   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Devocional do dia 08/08/2026 com o tema: Sabedoria, papai! Um pai criou e cuidou de seus filhos sem a presença da mãe. Ele não tinha muitos recursos, mas sempre ensinou e aconselhou sua prole a buscar a sabedoria vinda das palavras de Deus. As crianças cresceram, tornaram-se adultos exemplares, e o pai, já idoso, lhes perguntou: O que o papai deixou de legado para vocês? Do que vocês podem se orgulhar de mim? A resposta foi unânime entre os filhos: Sabedoria, papai! Essa ilustração lembra a história de Davi e seu filho Salomão que, desde criança, recebeu o incentivo do pai a buscar sabedoria (Pv 4). Quando cresceu e se tornou adulto, Deus o tornou rei de Israel. O Senhor se apresenta ao monarca e diz que lhe daria qualquer coisa. Seguindo o conselho do pai, ele pede sabedoria. E, assim, foi o mais sábio entre os reis (1Rs 10.23).Salomão escreveu, em Eclesiastes, que obteve tudo o que um homem poderia desejar, mas que aquilo não era nada, porque a maior riqueza era a sabedoria divina indicada por seu pai. E concluiu: Tema a Deus e guarde seus mandamentos, porque isso é essencial para o homem (Ec 12.13). LEITURA BÍBLICA: 2 Crônicas 1.7-12 Pois eu também era um filho para o meu pai, pequeno e único diante da minha mãe. Então, ele me instruía e me dizia: Apegue-se às minhas palavras de todo o coração; obedeça aos meus mandamentos e viva. Procure obter sabedoria e entendimento; não se esqueça das minhas palavras nem delas se afaste (Pv 4.3-5).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, Benoy Thanjan joins Peter Pongracz of Soliverse for a wide-ranging conversation about how the global solar market is changing. They discuss why early-stage development capital has become more difficult to secure, why investors increasingly prefer later-stage and lower-risk projects, and why solar-plus-storage is becoming the new standard in many markets. Benoy and Peter also examine the growing importance of community relationships, energy independence, repowering, solar-panel recycling, and innovation as the United States and Europe compete with China's scale and long-term energy strategy. A central theme throughout the episode is that solar technology itself is relatively simple, but developing, financing, interconnecting, and delivering projects has become increasingly complex.

During Intersolar (The Smart E), Gerard sat down with Dr Chuan Lu, CEO Astronergy and Director of Chint Group to discuss, from the inside the Chinese Solar revolution. 2026 was Dr Lu and Chint 15th participation to that massive European Exhibit that epitomise the growth of renewables. 18 halls the size of a football fields and more than 100,000 visitors.  CHINT is a vertically integrated Chinese energy conglomerate whose solar business is profitable, mid-growth, and margin-focused rather than driven by hyper-scale manufacturing. Its portfolio includes Astronergy (modules), CPS (inverters), CHINT Solar (EPC/IPP), and CHINT ANNENG (residential PV), generating approximately $650–700 million in operating profit and implying a valuation of $12–16 billion. Annual growth of 15–20% trails peers but reflects CHINT's focus on profitability, diversification, and disciplined capital allocation. The result is a stable, globally active, Tier 1-certified solar group that operates more like an integrated industrial compounder than a scale-at-all-costs PV manufacturer.  The modern Chinese solar industry began to take shape around 2006 as a predominantly export-oriented manufacturing sector, driven by demand from Europe and other international markets. As a privately held enterprise, CHINT has operated within a unique ecosystem where entrepreneurial initiative has been complemented by government policy support. A pivotal moment came in 2012 with the introduction of China's Feed-in Tariff (FIT) programme, which stimulated domestic demand and transformed China into the world's largest solar market, creating significant opportunities for companies such as CHINT to expand beyond export manufacturing.  CHINT's development has also been shaped by China's regional economic and cultural differences. Originating in the entrepreneurial, resource-poor southeast of the country, the company embodies a private-sector culture that contrasts sharply with the coal-dependent, state-controlled industrial base of northeast China.  Looking ahead, management recognises the challenges posed by overbuilding and excess manufacturing capacity in the utility-scale solar market. In response, CHINT has diversified aggressively into distributed generation through its residential rooftop solar business, CHINT ANNENG, which has installed more than 60 GW of capacity across over 1.2 million rooftops throughout China, positioning the company to benefit from a broader and more resilient mix of solar market opportunities.  A great thanks to Jonathan Gifford of Climate Copy for organising the recording.

In this episode Russell Reading interviews Leticia Hermida, Global Corporate PPA Director at Acciona Energy, about hybrid PPAs, contracts that combine generation technologies (most often solar PV and battery storage) to deliver more stable, predictable renewable energy to corporate buyers. They cover why hybrids are gaining traction, the role of storage duration, and how these structures manage price volatility and volume risk. Leticia explains common hybrid structures, regional trends (notably in Spain, Europe, the US and Chile), common misconceptions, and practical advice: define your objectives, assess value beyond headline price, and explore flexible PPA designs to meet decarbonization and risk-management goals.

This podcast interview featured Maxim Kosenko, CEO and founder of Axentum, discussing their innovative technology for autonomous solar installation for AI data centers. Maxim explained their system uses flat, zero-degree tilt solar panels with pre-assembled PV modules and battery packs (2- 3 kWh per module) connected in strings to create 0.9-megawatt DC clusters that can be installed by four-person teams in under two hours, enabling installation of a gigawatt-scale project within a month using approximately 12 teams. The system eliminates traditional tracking systems, uses ballasted mounting instead of piles, and includes integrated battery storage and power electronics, resulting in a levelized cost of electricity around $50 per megawatt hour (5 cents per kilowatt hour) and potentially dropping the cost five times lower than current solar options for data centers.   Topics Covered Axentum www.axentum.com Autonomous Solar Installation AI Data Centers Megawatts per hour Installation Robot ESS = Energy Storage System Flat Panel Design Integrated Battery Storage Robot Deployment Installation Speed Wind Resistance Design Vegetation Prevention Labor Reduction Gas Turbine Shortage Solar vs Turbines Gigawatt Scale Buildout Power Electronics Embedded   Reach out to Maxim Kosenko here: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/maxkosenko Website: www.axentum.com Email: m@axentum.com   Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean's classes at www.heatspring.com/sean www.solarsean.com/pvip

This is the story of my Rock and Roll Butler. Welcome to the Rock and Roll Geek Show. 00:00:23 My name is Michael Butler. Thanks a lot for joining me. I really appreciate it. 00:00:27 Today is Monday, July 13, 2026. I am somewhere on the road, on the way, we’re driving today to Winnemucca, Nevada. We left San Francisco this morning, rented a Penske truck. 00:00:48 I picked up the Penske truck at 9 o’clock a.m. I told you in the last episode it cost me $3,600. 00:00:56 That’s actually not true. It actually cost me five big ones, because your credit card company and your auto insurance doesn’t cover truck rental. We are in a 16-foot Penske truck driving it across the country, all the way from San Francisco to an undisclosed location in New York, upstate New York. 00:01:23 We’re expecting it to take us 46 hours. It’s going to go over eight days, that’s the plan. We flew into San Francisco on Thursday, stayed at a hotel at JFK on Wednesday night, the TWA Hotel. 00:01:40 Compliments of the undisclosed person traveling with me. Thank you very much. Beautiful undisclosed person. 00:01:48 Had a good time. We drank a lot. Let’s put it that way. 00:01:53 We had a fun time. TWA Hotel is an interesting hotel. It’s set up like the old TWA Airlines. 00:02:04 They even have a cocktail lounge in an airplane. It’s quite interesting. Pretty expensive, but it was fun. I wouldn’t have been able to afford it, but the undisclosed person put in the bill, and 00:02:16 I very much appreciate it, I’ve got to tell you. So then we flew into San Francisco on Friday. We met up with Craig and his wife, Pam, and their friend Dianne. 00:02:34 Is it Dianne or Diana, or something like that? Super nice woman. We went to Oakland, met with them for drinks and dinner, and we stayed in an Airbnb in Oakland, which was left a little bit to be desired, the Airbnb, but it had a shower, let’s put it that way. Then we drove all the way to Ukiah, met up with Casey, Casey Crenshaw, and the girls 00:02:59 in Featherwitch. It was Erica’s husband’s birthday, and they were having a cake party, so we stopped, a cake, not a keg, a cake party. We stopped in there for some cake, and it was nice to see the Featherwitch girls, haven’t seen them in a long time. And of course, there was talk about getting the band back together and all that, and I’m 00:03:15 holding my breath for that one, girls. Then we drove to Ukiah and stayed at a hotel in Ukiah, and then on Saturday, I had a Chad gig up in Fortuna, which is near Eureka. We opened up for a band called Shenandoah. 00:03:33 That was a fun show, a lot of people there, a good crowd, and they liked us. As usual, people thought that I was not a country guy, more of a rock and roll guy, but they seemed to like it, at least the kids that were shouting my name, holding up the metal horns, liked me. There was a cute little punk rock couple dressed as cowboys, and they were line dancing while we were playing. 00:03:55 It was fun. So then after that, the next morning, Sunday morning, we got up and drove all the way to the Mountain House and picked up the rest of my shift from the Mountain House, and then drove all the way to San Francisco and stayed at Don’s Basement on Sunday night. There was nobody else there because the kids are being withheld, the grandkids are being withheld from Michael Butler, from Papa, because Papa’s an asshole, apparently. 00:04:24 I don’t know. I’m not going to get into that, but yeah, we stayed there, went to the Pinsky Truck Company this morning, drove it back to the house in San Francisco, loaded that Pinsky Truck up with all my guitars, all my amps. Did I tell you how much the Pinsky Truck cost? 00:04:42 Well, see, the insurance, your insurance doesn’t cover it. It doesn’t cover the lost damage waiver. Your credit cards don’t cover it. 00:04:50 You have to buy the lost damage waiver. They’re walking around showing every scratch. So I had to get the lost damage waiver, which costs $1,000, actually $900 and change. 00:05:01 So this truck ended up costing me close to $5,000. Did I mention that I need some donations? By the way, thank you, Ralph Miller, for contributing to the Pinsky Truck Fund. 00:05:13 You donated $125. Thank you very much, Ralph. You’re a great man, I’ll tell you. 00:05:18 If you’d like to help contribute, it would be much appreciated. It’s $5,000 for a truck, not counting gas. We just pulled over for gas right outside Lake Tahoe. 00:05:27 $6.99 a gallon. 00:05:30 I never paid $6.99 a gallon since Joe Biden was president. I think I paid close to that. 00:05:37 But yeah, $6.99 a gallon. So we’re driving to Winnemucca, Nevada. 00:05:42 We’re going to stay there tonight. We put into the AI route us to some places with some good dive bars. This place is telling us to go to Winnemucca. 00:05:53 Hold on, I’ll take you to some of this water. I can’t wait to have a beer. The undisclosed, beautiful undisclosed person is driving the Pinsky truck right now. 00:06:07 I drove the whole way, but I needed to get a podcast in. She’s going to take us into Reno. Stopping at Winnemucca. 00:06:14 The chat GPT said there’s a couple of great bars in Winnemucca. Walking distance from the hotel. Or it’s actually a motel. 00:06:24 So we’re pulling into the motel. We’re going to park the Pinsky truck and walk to one of the two dive bars it suggested. Billy the Kid’s Hole in the Wall. 00:06:34 No, is it? Butch Cassidy’s Hole in the Wall. And there was another one. 00:06:37 I forget what it’s called. So we’re going to do that tonight. And then we’re going to get up in the morning and drive somewhere on the route to Catskills of New York. 00:06:48 So if you’re along that route, please hit me up friends. I would love to meet up with you. A few people have. 00:06:57 And we’re hoping to meet up with some of them. Depends on where we are. But thank you everybody who’s offered to meet up so far. 00:07:04 Please look at the route from Winnemucca, Nevada to Catskills of New York. And let’s meet up friends. So that’s the update for day one. 00:07:18 The dive bar road trip. The dive bar road trip with all Butler’s shit in the back of the Pinsky truck. I got about 30 guitars. 00:07:27 An SVT-810. An SVT-410. A little PV-412. 00:07:34 Bass amp. All the bass heads. What else do I have? 00:07:43 The PV Mark IV that I’ve had since the Stevie Stiletto days. Two kayaks. A log splitter. 00:07:54 An electric bike. Which I’m selling. So if anybody wants an electric bike, hit me up. 00:08:03 What else do I have? All of my albums. About 1,000 record albums. 00:08:08 All my rock and roll books. Which is about 2,000 rock and roll books. All my clothes. 00:08:17 And various other things. Driving it across the country. Goodbye, California. 00:08:24 I’m coming back on the 24th because I have an AZDZ gig. And then I’m going to fly right back. Yes, it costs me money to play. 00:08:33 Yes, I’m paying to play. But hey, I want to play. And I have not found a band yet in New York. 00:08:37 I will. I’ll find more than one band in New York. But I like playing with Chad. 00:08:41 I like playing with the Butlers. And I like playing with the AZDZ band. And I like playing with the Plunkets. 00:08:46 And every other band that I’m in. As long as I can do it, I’m going to do it. Damn it. 00:08:53 Why not? But in the meantime, we’re going to enjoy these eight days on the road. And in honor of this road trip. 00:09:01 This dive bar road trip. With the beautiful undisclosed person at the wheel. I’m going to be playing all songs about the road. 00:09:11 And we’re going to start off with the first one. By the great band Foghat. Eight Days on the Road. 00:09:18 I think this is from the Rock and Roll album. It’s got a rock and a roll. And like a dinner roll on the cover. 00:09:24 This one goes out to you, Chuck Spear. Because I know he’s a huge Foghat fan. He’s a fan of the hat. 00:09:30 All right. I will talk to you tomorrow. There’s a little update from the road. 00:09:36 It’s beautiful on this drive. I’ll tell you. We’re right outside Lake Tahoe. 00:09:40 And there’s all kinds of mountains. It’s just a beautiful view. 00:09:44 Not worth the $6.99 a gallon gas. But yeah. 00:09:48 All right. Thank you for listening, friends. If you get any value out of these daily updates. 00:09:54 Little dog days in advance. In July. If you get any value. 00:10:01 You’d really be helping me out with this road trip. Helping me out with the Penske truck. Rental. 00:10:07 I’m putting it all on the credit card. So at least I’ll get some points. I think. 00:10:11 I’ll get some time to pay it off. 22% interest. Yes. 00:10:17 The end is in sight. What do you call it? The end of the rainbow is going to be worth it. 00:10:25 I’m convinced of it. Because I like the person I’m with. And it’s going to be a lot better than it was. Hopefully the grandkids will 00:10:37 eventually come back into my life. But we’ll see. It’s not my doings. 00:10:43 And that’s all I can say of that. Because the last episode I got a bunch of shit about talking about my family life. But hey. 00:10:51 I’m public enemy number one. Enough of this. I’m not going to give you my problems. 00:10:56 Thank you for listening. It’s going to be great. It’s going to work out great. And it’s all going to end 00:11:04 like everybody wants it to end. Except I won’t be dead. I’ll talk to you soon. 00:11:11 Please keep the donations coming. Without your donations this show will die. A horrible, putrid, stench filled death. 00:11:16 Rockandrollgeek.com I’d love to meet up with you. Find me on the Facebook. 00:11:23 Rockandrollgeek Facebook group. Going strong. And thank you to Kirk Crawford for not sending me that new Rolling Stones album. 00:11:30 Which I have not listened to yet. But I’m going to. I’ll talk to you tomorrow. 00:11:35 Here’s Foghat.

CATL unveiled its TENER Sodium energy storage system at Intersolar Europe in Munich, rated for 15,000 cycles to 70 percent state of health at room temperature. CATL frames that as a 25 to 30 year service life, and it takes only 34 modules to stand up a one gigawatt-hour site. That single specification changes how commercial storage professionals price, propose, and finance battery projects. Tim Montague and John Weaver dig into what it means, alongside Illinois growing from about 80 megawatts of solar a decade ago to over 6,000 megawatts today under the new CRGA law, SunBallast ballasted racking and what module stacking tells you about install labor, UK bids for 16 and 18 hour long-duration storage, perovskite modules reaching the residential market, El Niño shifting solar output across the US, and silver falling more than 50 percent from its 2026 peak.Episode HighlightsCATL sodium ion battery, 15,000 cycles: CATL launched its TENER Sodium system at Intersolar Europe in Munich. It is rated for 15,000 cycles to 70 percent state of health at 25 degrees C, which CATL frames as a 25 to 30 year service life, and just 34 modules build a 1 GWh site. (Energy Storage News)Sodium ion safety advantage: CATL claims its sodium cells cut expansion force by roughly 40 percent, generate about 35 percent less gas during thermal runaway, and hold peak surface temperatures far below comparable lithium ion. The fire and thermal-runaway story is a big part of why C&I buyers are paying attention to sodium. (Interesting Engineering)Sodium ion in the fast-response role: John flagged a detail from a CATL hybrid storage proposal where sodium was specified for the faster-response duty and lithium for the slower role. Worth keeping in context. This is one proposal's configuration, not a blanket claim that sodium beats lithium on response everywhere.GM and Peak Energy sodium ion partnership: General Motors is moving into stationary storage with Peak Energy, backed by a strategic investment from GM Ventures. GM will develop the sodium ion cell in its Michigan battery lab and keep exclusive manufacturing rights, while Peak integrates the cell into its passively cooled storage systems. Peak energized the first U.S. grid-scale sodium-ion system, 3.5 MWh, in Watkins, Colorado, in 2025. (Inside Climate News)Illinois energy transition, 80 MW to 6 GW: Tim attended a Nexamp event at the company's Chicago office, where IPA director Brian Granahan reported Illinois has grown from about 80 megawatts of solar a decade ago to over 6,000 megawatts energized today, with roughly 14.5 gigawatts of wind and solar developed under the state RPS (13 GW to date plus about 1.5 GW just approved). The engine is CRGA, the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (SB 25, pronounced "Surge"), which runs its first utility-scale storage procurement in August, the opening tranche toward 3 GW by 2030 via additional 2027 and 2028 rounds. Residential VPP enrollment opens in mid-July, with ComEd and Ameren customers able to put home batteries into a short-term scheduled-dispatch pilot this summer. (PV Magazine)SunBallast racking and install labor: The hosts walk through SunBallast ballasted, no-penetration racking and get into the labor economics of module mounting, including what the way different manufacturers stack modules for shipping tells you about handling time on the job site.UK long-duration storage bids at 16 and 18 hours: Fresh procurement results out of Scotland and England show projects awarded at 16 and 18 hours of duration. John notes it is the first time he has seen bids at that scale and ties it to Scotland's wind-heavy generation profile. (Blue Sky)Trina Solar perovskite module hits residential market: Trina landed its first commercial order for a perovskite-silicon tandem module, going into New Zealand's premium residential market. The record-setting module is 907 watts at 29.2 percent efficiency, certified by TUV SUD. (Perovskite Info)El Niño and solar irradiance shifts: John walks through regional solar output swings across the US and globally. Rajasthan, India, home to some of the world's largest solar plants, is projected to run about 15 percent above its seasonal average this season. (PV Magazine)Silver prices fall more than 50 percent: Silver has dropped from its late-January 2026 record near 121 dollars to the upper 50s, more than half off the peak, on a stronger dollar and a hawkish Fed. It matters for PV because silver paste is a real line item, and World Silver Survey data shows solar's silver demand down about 19 percent. (TheStreet)This episode is essential for commercial solar installers, battery storage developers, community solar professionals, and clean energy policy watchers. The sodium ion story has direct and immediate implications for how professionals structure storage proposals, financial models, and customer conversations. Illinois developers will also want Tim's firsthand account of the CRGA storage procurement and the residential VPP pilot going live this summer.

You and Dave already called 30s "bullshit" last week — push total listen time + percent-completed as the real metrics. The walkback: AMP's original press release said "30 seconds of content played… once per user per session" — and quietly DELETED "once per user per session," leaving a woolier definition. James flagged it on-page with the HTML5 del tag. YouTube is in AMP: Google confirmed YouTube "has been participating in the AMP-led conversations" — implies YouTube uses a 30s play. Apple's stance still unknown. RSS.com test (Alberto): moving the DOWNLOAD threshold 60s to 30s changed totals by ~1% — negligible. So 30s for both plays and downloads is just simpler. The HLS gotcha: playing 10s of an HLS video podcast still downloads ~60-72s, so server logs can't tell real play — only player-side instrumentation (Spotify, future Apple) can.

Gudrun talks with Debajyoti Choudhuri. He is staying at KIT as a short term guest. He is Associate Professor in the School of Basic Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar, India. He did his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Hyderabad. His research interest lies in the analysis of elliptic PDEs using Functional Analytic and topological methods. In this he touches and has a slight overlap with the research of Gudrun. The conversation starts with the discussion about a small paper which Debajyoti put on the archiv. It is about understanding how to work with the Fractional Laplacian. This means extending the classical Laplace operator Δ to non-integer powers. This operator is the main part in PDEs which model, e.g, anomalous diffusion, probability theory, image processing, finance, and nonlocal mechanics. (-Δ)s, where 0 < s < 1. What makes It different to the ordinary Laplacian? While the traditional Laplace operator is local, i.e. it depends only on values of u and its derivatives near x, the fractional Laplacian is nonlocal, it depends on values of u everywhere in space. Thus, for the analytical and numerical treatment one needs very different methods. There are several possible definitions. Some of them can be found in the Wikipedia article which is cited below. On ℝn, the cleanest definition is the Fourier definition which follows the idea: Take the Fourier transform. Multiply by |ξ|2s. Transform back. In the short paper which is discussed the singular integral definition is used: For 0 < s < 1: (-Δ)^s u(x) = C(n,s) PV ∫ [u(x) - u(y)] / |x - y|^(n + 2s) dy This makes the nonlocality explicit: every point y contributes to the value at x. The method central in studying Laplace problems is variational. It considers an (infinite) family of generalised problems and works on the existence of so-called weak solutions. These problems are formulated with the help of Sobolev spaces. The weak solution for the Laplace problem is an element of the space H1=W1,2. This means the solution and its (generalised) gradient are bounded in L2 in the domain in which the problem is solved. This has physical meaning and due to known properties (embedding) of Sobolev spaces the pointwise (strong) solutions often can be constructed when enough regularitiy of the weak solutions is proved. Fractional Laplacians naturally live in fractional Sobolev spaces. These are not that easy to connect to physical properties and a few of the equivalent definitions in the context of classical Sobolev spaces are not equivalent any more everywhere. Common approaches for numerics for PDEs including the fractional Laplacian are: Fourier spectral methods (periodic domains) Finite element methods for fractional PDEs Matrix-function methods (As) Caffarelli–Silvestre extension methods Quadrature approximations of singular integrals The Extension trick introduced by Caffarelli and Silvestre in 2007 (their original paper is cited below) is also discussed as part of the short note. p-laplacian augurs well in the sense because the unicity of the definitions of the s-laplacian is still lacking. The conversation then turns to how Debajyoti found his way into mathematics and the topic of PDEs and how life and work feel like in his university.

Send us Fan MailEpisode SummaryGuests: Zac Curtis (Innovation Lead for NextGen Home at E.ON) & Chris Bernkopf (CEO of Podero)How do you scale residential Energy as a Service (EaaS) without upfront capital? E.ON and Podero's 18-home Midlands pilot demonstrates that combining automated zero-upfront multi-asset orchestration (heat pumps, solar PV, batteries, and EV chargers) into a single 10-year fixed tariff wrapper can achieve a +56 Net Promoter Score and stable household comfort. However, scaling this model to a broader target market of 680,000 homes depends entirely on overcoming physical installation bottlenecks, correcting widespread heat pump commissioning errors, and transitioning manufacturer software platforms from standalone thermodynamic efficiency (COP) toward predictive, time-of-use cost-curve steering.Technical Insights1. The Financial Architecture of Energy as a Service (EaaS)The core financial barrier to residential grid decarbonisation is the high upfront capital cost of low-carbon assets.The E.ON NextGen Home pilot addresses this by completely eliminating initial capital expenditure for the consumer. All hardware—including Vaillant heat pumps, SolarEdge solar arrays, and home batteries—is deployed at zero upfront cost.The asset capital paydown is amortised over a 10-year term and embedded directly into a stable, single monthly fixed tariff wrapper.To mitigate risk when a homeowner relocates during the contract term, the asset value is transferred to the property valuation. The incoming buyer inherits an optimised, low-operational-bill home with the initial capital pay-down effectively cleared through the house sale.Following the 18-home proof of concept, E.ON is planning a proactive call for entries to scale up to a representative sample of over 300 homes. This next phase will target specific home archetypes and a diverse mix of consumer behaviours to stress-test the model's mass-market viability.2. Multi-Asset Software Orchestration vs. Standalone COPTraditional heating controls are built to maximise standalone thermodynamic efficiency (COP).In modern dynamic, time-of-use energy systems where wholesale electricity pricing fluctuates sharply between midday and evening peaks, maximising standalone efficiency is an outdated metric.To generate true running-cost savings, Podero's platform bypasses physical gateways to communicate via cloud APIs directly with the assets every few minutes.The software engine shifts focus toward predictive cost-curve steering by calculating the exact building energy deficits and the specific thermal deferral capacity (the duration a building envelope can safely delay or store heat load without dropping interior comfort).3. Supply Chain Quality and "Unconscious Incompetence"The deployment of automated multi-asset steering lives or dies on physical installation quality.A significant portion of the UK installation supply chain suffers from unconscious incompetence—well-meaning installers who lack the specific expertise required for low-carbon engineering.Common field errors, such as incorrect heat pump commissioning, frequently cause internal backup electric immersion heating rods to run continuously, driving up electricity consumption.Additionally, the transition of the UK heating industry into a fragmented landscape of self-employed sole traders complicates the rapid dissemination of best practices. Overcoming this requires a strict, synchronised "waterfall" installation process to handle complex asset interdependencies over a tight five-day window.4. Expanding Beyond Air-to-Water ArchetypesTo scale the EaaS framework past the initial pilot phase toward a representative market sample of 300+ homes, utilities must look beyond standard air-to-water heat pump systems.To accommodate tight mid-terraced houses and flats where external space or pipework disruption prevents traditional setups, the pilot is actively evaluating alternative low-carbon technologies.This includes compact, single-room heat pump configurations operating without external units, localised infrared matting, low-electricity radiant solutions, and smart electric boilers dedicated to domestic hot water (DHW) production.Industry Resources & LinksHost Profile: Nathan Gambling, Head of Technical Education at BetaTeach and host of the BetaTalk podcast. Referenced Data Expert: Mick Wall (Sheffield University), field data analyst tracking "The Holy Trinity" of integrated heat pump, battery, and solar performance telemetry. Support the showLearn more about heat pump heating by followingNathan on Linkedin, Twitter and BlueSky

Silicon solar panels have led the market for decades but will soon hit a ceiling around 25% efficiency. Perovskite, a frontier material once dismissed for degrading too fast, is now being called the holy grail of solar. Saritha Peruri, VP of Commercialization at Tandem PV, is bringing it to market. The company stacks its proprietary perovskite on top of silicon, capturing a wider spectrum of light and pushing efficiency past 30%, a major jump over conventional solar. And because it builds on the silicon PV infrastructure that already exists, the path to scale stays simple. Getting there wasn't easy. After a long Series A, Tandem PV pulled off something rare in deep-tech hardware: 100% equipment financing for its 40-megawatt demonstration factory. It's now shipping quarter-sized modules to utility-scale customers who want U.S.-made panels for supply chain certainty and the domestic content kicker. It's potentially a bridge to a post-ITC world that cuts land and labor costs because each installation needs far fewer modules. In this episode, host Lara Pierpoint talks with Saritha about reaching high durability and the challenges of financing deep-tech hardware. Credits: Hosted by Lara Pierpoint.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the B2B Go-To-Market Leaders Podcast, Vijay Damojipurapu sits down with PV Bóccasam, advisor to private equity firms and veteran operator across enterprise software, venture-backed startups, and category-defining companies, to explore a radically different way of thinking about go-to-market.PV argues that go-to-market is not about sales motions, pipeline generation, or even positioning frameworks—it's about one thing: reducing buyer anxiety and lowering the perceived risk of change.Drawing from decades of experience building and scaling enterprise software companies across identity governance, GRC, enterprise risk management, and private equity-backed transformations, PV shares how the best GTM leaders think less about “selling” and more about helping customers justify, adopt, and communicate measurable value internally.They dive into:Why GTM should focus on reducing customer risk, not maximizing seller activity.The difference between customer convictions and customer incentives—and why both matter.Why measurable proof is the only reliable way to break buyer inertia.How enterprise software companies should rethink value delivery in the AI era.Why AI should reduce operational uncertainty—not create more chaos.The evolution from product-led to sales-led to partner-led GTM motions.Why “platform” messaging fails for most enterprise SaaS companies.How modern AI-native SaaS products are becoming systems of orchestration, not systems of record.The importance of helping customers retell your value proposition internally.Why enterprise GTM leaders must become the clearest thinkers during periods of uncertainty.How private equity firms should approach AI adoption through organizational redesign, not just cost-cutting.And why long-term impact matters more than short-term velocity in building a career and a company.PV's central insight is simple but powerful:Customers don't buy software—they buy reduced uncertainty, measurable outcomes, and confidence in the future state.This episode is a deep philosophical and operational masterclass on enterprise go-to-market strategy, AI adoption, organizational design, and what it truly means to build trust at scale.Connect with Vijay Damojipurapu on LinkedInConnect with PV Boccasam on LinkedInBrought to you by: stratyve.com

Silicon solar is approaching a hard physical efficiency ceiling at 30%. Perovskite tandem solar is the only proven path through it. Joel Jean, CEO of Swift Solar, explains the technology, what the Meyer Burger acquisition brings, and where tandems sit on the road to commercial scale.After seven decades, silicon solar is closing in on its physical efficiency limit, and no previous thin-film technology has been able to outperform it at competitive cost. Joel Jean, CEO and co-founder of Swift Solar, a tandem PV manufacturer based in California, joined Tim Montague on the Clean Power Hour to explain why perovskite-silicon tandems are different and how Swift is building toward commercial scale. Jean explains how Swift's approach of vertically integrating perovskite and silicon at the cell level differs from other tandem strategies, and what certifications and milestones a new module technology must clear before utility buyers and independent engineers will finance it. The conversation also covers the US position in the global solar race, perovskite degradation and lead-content concerns, and what a consistent industrial policy would mean for US solar manufacturers.Here is what you will learn in this conversation about perovskite tandem solar and the path to next-generation module efficiency:You'll understand why silicon solar cells are physically limited to around 30% efficiency, and how stacking a perovskite layer on silicon creates a two-junction cell with a path to 35-40%, with three junctions pushing toward 45% or more.Find out what Swift Solar gains from the Meyer Burger acquisition: a heterojunction product with 0.2% annual degradation, the lowest rate in the industry, and a bankable product to serve customers while the tandem completes its certification and field-proof timeline.Learn why Swift's approach of integrating perovskite and silicon at the cell level differs from other tandem strategies, including four-terminal approaches where perovskite is deposited on glass and stacked on a separate module.You'll hear Tim push back on two common concerns about perovskites: degradation and lead content. Joel explains Swift's cell-level stability progress and why perovskite panels contain less lead per square meter than the solder in a standard silicon module.With China installing solar 8.5 times faster than the US and having spent 15-20 years building a manufacturing and policy foundation, the US is still trying to rebuild. The window for US tandem solar companies to establish a position is narrowing. Swift Solar's acquisition of Meyer Burger assets is one of the few cases where a US perovskite tandem startup enters the market with a proven, bankable product already generating field data, rather than waiting years for the tandem to reach certification. For solar professionals evaluating next-generation module technology and investors tracking the US manufacturing pipeline, this conversation gives a clear picture of where tandem technology stands today and what the next two to three years need to deliver.Connect with Joel Jean, Swift Solar LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeljean/Swift Solar: https://www.swiftsolar.com/ Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

The power system is aging and poorly equipped to handle the rapid, large-scale shift toward renewables. According to Philipp Schröder, CEO of 1KOMMA5°, the real solutions lie “behind the meter.”  Gerard and Laurent sit down with Schröder to unpack what it will take to unlock the so-called “Behind the Meter” revolution.  Schröder is among a small group of European founders aiming to build a vertically integrated, consumer-focused clean energy company—something akin to a European hybrid of Tesla Energy and Sunrun. His approach combines hardware (such as solar PV systems, home batteries, heat pumps, and EV chargers), installation networks, intelligent software (including IoT-driven energy management like “Heartbeat”), and active participation in energy markets.  Software is becoming increasingly critical. Grid management and pricing systems remain outdated and inefficient, especially in Germany, where reform has been slow due to entrenched interests and the slow deployment of smart meters. By contrast, countries like Sweden are already moving ahead with more modern approaches.  The company's growth appears to validate this strategy. 1KOMMA5° now employs over 3,000 people, is approaching EUR1 billion in annual revenue, and has raised EUR400 million from investors including Eurazeo, CalSTRS, and several prominent family offices.  Key questions remain: How does Schröder position 1KOMMA5° against competitors like Octopus, Enpal, Base, and Thermondo? Is he building the next kind of utility—or deliberately staying outside that model? And how does he navigate policy challenges, particularly when engaging with energy leaders in Germany who remain supportive of fossil fuels?  A fascinating conversation with a formidable entrepreneur who gives back literally “Power to the People”.

One band turns into obsession. And before they ever play a real set, everything is already ridiculous.ACT TWOIf Act One is about starting a band, Act Two is about what happens when everything immediately gets in the way.Franny does what any rational person would do.He writes a love song.Which would be fine… except for the rule.No romance. Ever.And PV means it.What follows is a series of perfectly logical decisions that somehow make everything worse.A love song that says too much.A date that shouldn't exist.A plan to fix things that only complicates them further.Because if PV won't date a bandmate, there's only one solution:Make the competition part of the band.Which works.Until it doesn't.As alliances shift, rules get enforced, and Franny finds himself deeper in a situation he cannot control, the band becomes something else entirely.Not just music.Not just friendship.Something closer to a test.Of loyalty. Of identity. Of whether you can separate what you create from how you feel.And in the middle of it all, the stakes quietly expand.A school competition that suddenly matters.A partnership that feels more intense than anything either of them expected.And a realization that success might not look the way they imagined it.Act Two is where the band takes shape, the lines get blurred, and the consequences of those rules start to land.Because sometimes the only thing more complicated than love……is trying to avoid it.
