Why Off-Market Listings Hurt Sellers + Solar Panel Pitfalls, Rate Buydowns, and Bay Area Houses of the WeekThe episode argues that “private exclusive” off-market listings are a brokerage-driven money grab designed to control inventory and double-end commissions, leaving sellers guessing on price and appearing weak to sophisticated buyers who track a home's exposure; the speaker advises against “coming soon” and says long days on market usually indicate pricing issues. It then covers solar panels, warning they add value only when owned outright and that financed/leased systems can be liabilities with transfer, payoff, lien, warranty, and maintenance complications, plus PG&E true-up costs. Solar Panels & Real EstateMortgage Rates Average 6.37%PROBATE AND ESTATE SALESCupertino Home of the WeekWillow Glen Home of the WeekLuxury Home of the WeekHow your Home will be MarketedPRE-Inspection CHECKLIST HERE https://abitanogroup.com/homeinspectionchecklistFREE HOME BUYER CHECKLIST HERE https://abitanogroup.com/Homebuyerchecklist 00:00 Off Market Listing Myth00:24 Who Really Benefits02:16 Why Coming Soon Hurts02:51 Solar Panels Pros Cons03:43 Solar Payoff Gotchas05:07 Mortgage Rate Buydowns06:10 Probate Moves Planning07:01 Cupertino House Pick07:54 Willow Glen Deal08:27 Woodside Luxury Estate09:00 Matterport Virtual Tours09:33 Why Buyers Have Leverage09:57 Local Market Stats Outlook10:33 Winners Losers Areas11:31 Wrap Up Thanks

Viel Sonne und viel Land: Dank idealer Voraussetzungen für Solaranlagen könnte die westspanische Region Extremadura die Vorzeigeregion für die Energiewende sein. Doch die riesigen Anlagen wecken Widerstand. Und ausgerechnet im Solarparadies kämpfen Dörfer wieder für Atomkraft. In der Extremadura lohnt es sich mehr als anderswo, Solarenergie zu nutzen: die Sonne scheint an gegen 300 Tagen im Jahr. Tatsächlich steht in der Region bereits der grösste Solarpark Spaniens, der bald Strom für rund eine halbe Million Haushalte produzieren wird. Doch viele Einheimische stören sich an den gigantischen Anlagen, sie verschandelten die Natur und nähmen der Landwirtschaft den Raum weg. «Sollen wir künftig Solarpanels essen?», fragt eine Frau aus Almaraz. Sie möchte stattdessen, dass das über 40 Jahre alte Kernkraftwerk in ihrem Dorf noch weiter betrieben werden darf – obschon dessen Schliessung beschlossen ist. Viele Spanierinnen und Spanier würden ihr zustimmen. Die Kernkraft hat wieder stark an Popularität gewonnen. Der Ausbau der Solarenergie geht derweil unvermindert weiter. Ihr Anteil an der spanischen Stromproduktion hat in den letzten Jahren sprunghaft zugenommen. International – aus der Extremadura, im Spannungsfeld der spanischen Energiewende.

The government has announced a review into solar panel installation, which it describes as a "red tape nightmare". Tim Dudek owns installation company Solar Craft, and has 16 years in the business. He spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Regulation Minister is taking aim at red tape he says is hampering the country's rooftop solar uptake. Katie Todd reports.

This week on the Solar PVcast, we sit down with Jonathan Maile, CEO of Skyblue Products, to explore the exciting world of balcony solar and what it could mean for the future of energy in Canada. From plug-and-play systems already transforming homes around the world to the policies and regulations still holding Canada back, we unpack where balcony solar currently stands — especially here in British Columbia — and how close we really are to seeing widespread adoption. We also take our best guess at timelines, discuss what needs to change, and why balcony solar could open the door for millions more people — including renters, condo owners, and urban Canadians — to finally live the solar life. It’s a fun, optimistic, and future-focused conversation about accessibility, innovation, and the next evolution of solar energy in Canada.

(May 4, 2026) Solar panels are crucial to producing carbon-free electricity in New York. But they take up a lot of land. A new study from Cornell University shows that solar development may not be as detrimental to farmland as some people fear. Also: A sign in North Creek saying President Trump needs to be "neutralized" was vandalized. The FBI found it was not hate speech.

With interest in residential solar skyrocketing, a green energy advocacy group is renewing its call for the government to support a loan scheme with councils targeting home owners wanting to convert to rooftop solar. In the past year,10,344 residential properties were hooked up to solar, up about four percent on the previous twelve months. A breakdown by region showed Canterbury led the pack, with 2101 installations. One nationwide installer also said sales were up 50 percent this month compared to the same time last year. It believed that was due to rising energy costs, resilience concerns and people converting to electric cars. Mike Casey, chief executive of Rewiring Aotearoa, spoke to Lisa Owen.

Revenue from aging solar assets can now more than double through redevelopment. Matt Murphy, CEO of Flux Energy, joins Tim Montague on the Clean Power Hour to explain how. Murphy, a 20-year solar industry veteran and former Greenbacker executive, launched Flux Energy to focus on repowering and redeveloping existing solar farms, adding energy storage, renegotiating contracts, and replacing outdated panels with modern technology. His claim: deploying capital into operating assets delivers returns as good or better than building new projects from scratch. With SREC 1 and SREC 2 programs expiring in Massachusetts and solar panels from the early 2010s producing a fraction of what today's 750-watt modules deliver, the opportunity for solar asset redevelopment is growing fast.Here's what you'll learn in this conversation about repowering and redeveloping aging solar assets:Learn how Murphy's "redevelopment" strategy stacks new revenue streams on existing solar farms by adding battery storage, repowering with modern panels, and renegotiating offtake agreements.Understand the scale of the efficiency gap: panels installed a decade ago were 120-watt modules, while today's range from 600 to 800 watts. A repowered site on the same acreage produces up to four or five times the energy output.Find out why Flux Energy prefers DC-coupled battery storage.You'll hear how Murphy restores EBITDA to peak incentive levels, then connects sellers with IPP buyers in what he calls "solar house flipping."Learn why about 50% of the decommissioned panels Flux has evaluated so far have secondary market value at a few cents per watt.As the ITC phases down and a rush to complete new projects dominates industry attention, a parallel opportunity is emerging in the existing fleet. With state incentive programs expiring and aging assets underperforming, companies like Flux Energy represent a new segment of the solar industry focused on extracting maximum value from what has already been built. Connect with Matt Murphy, Flux Energy Matt's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-murphy-b900877a/Flux Energy Website: https://www.fluxenergy.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.

Stewart Alsop sits down with Ulises Martins on the Crazy Wisdom podcast to explore how artificial intelligence is fundamentally disrupting professional careers, labor markets, and the pace of human adaptation itself. They discuss everything from Dario Amodei's concept of "technological adolescence" to the possibility that we're approaching a point where AI advancement accelerates beyond our ability to keep up, touching on topics ranging from the economics of software development and the future of warfare to generational differences in how people will respond to AI-driven change. Martins emphasizes that while we may not be able to predict exactly what's coming, we need to dramatically increase our efforts to learn and adapt—potentially doubling the time we invest in understanding AI—because this isn't optional change, it's disruption happening at an unprecedented speed. Connect with Ulises on Linkedin to follow his work in AI and generative technology.Timestamps00:00 — Stewart introduces Ulysses Martins, framing the conversation around accelerationism and the future of work.05:00 — Ulises uses the parent-child analogy to argue humans will no longer play the dominant role as AI surpasses us.10:00 — Both agree learning AI is non-negotiable, urging listeners to double their investment in staying current.15:00 — Discussion shifts to software as media, the collapsing cost of building products, and the risk of big players like Anthropic making your idea obsolete overnight.20:00 — Ulises raises ecology vs. cosmic ambition, questioning whether humanity should aim for civilizational-scale goals like the Dyson sphere.25:00 — Stewart's ESP32 hardware project illustrates AI's current blind spots beyond software, while both predict physical-world AI will arrive as a byproduct of bigger industrial goals.30:00 — Tesla's birthplace in Croatia sparks a reflection on human genius as luck versus deliberate investment, invoking the Apollo program as a model.35:00 — The US-China AI race is compared to the Cold War Space Race, with interdependency acting as a brake on outright conflict.40:00 — Drone warfare and AI reframe military power, making troop size irrelevant and potentially reducing total war.45:00 — Agile methodology and generational shifts are linked, asking how Gen Z's values will shape the AI era globally.50:00 — Argentine vs. American Zoomers are contrasted, with millennial expectations versus Gen Z's pragmatism explored.55:00 — Ulises closes urging everyone to enjoy the ride, taking the infinite stream of change one episode at a time.Key Insights1. The Death of Traditional Career Paths: The concept of professional careers as we know them—starting as a junior and progressively advancing—is becoming obsolete due to AI's rapid advancement. This applies far beyond just software and SaaS companies, extending to all industries as robots and AI systems gain capabilities that fundamentally disrupt labor markets. The question isn't whether we'll adapt, but whether humans can adapt fast enough to keep pace with exponential technological change.2. The Acceleration Imperative: People must dramatically increase their investment in learning about AI immediately. Whatever time you were previously dedicating to staying current with technology needs to be doubled or tripled. This isn't optional—it's comparable to the necessity of basic education. Unlike previous technological transitions where you had years to learn new frameworks or tools, the current pace demands immediate, intensive engagement or you risk becoming irrelevant.3. Software as Media and the Collapse of Development Economics: Software has become media—easily reproducible and increasingly commoditized through AI assistance. The fundamental economics of software development are collapsing because if building software requires dramatically fewer development hours, the value and price of that software must necessarily decrease. Entrepreneurs need a new evaluation framework that assesses the risk of their ideas being replicated by AI or absorbed by major players like Anthropic or OpenAI.4. The Parent-Child Analogy for AI Development: Humanity's relationship with AI will inevitably mirror that of parents with increasingly capable children. Initially, we understand and control what AI does, but as it advances, it will surpass human capabilities in most domains. Just as parents cannot control fully grown adult children who exceed their abilities, humans will need to reconcile with creating something superior to ourselves. Attempting to permanently control such systems may be both impossible and potentially pathologic.5. The Kardashev Scale and Civilizational Ambitions: AI represents a civilizational-level technology that should redirect humanity toward grander goals like capturing stellar energy through Dyson spheres and expanding beyond our solar system. The competition between China and the United States over AI mirrors the Apollo program's space race but with higher stakes—potentially making traditional concepts like money less relevant if we successfully crack general intelligence. This requires thinking beyond planetary constraints.6. The Changing Nature of Warfare and Geopolitics: AI and autonomous weapons systems are fundamentally changing warfare by making human soldiers less relevant, similar to how nuclear weapons reduced the importance of conventional military force. This shift may actually reduce bloody civilian casualties in conflicts between major powers, as drone warfare and AI-driven systems create new equilibriums. The geopolitical map may fracture into more sovereign states and city-states as centralized control becomes less effective.7. Generational Adaptation and Unpredictability: Different generations will respond uniquely to AI disruption based on their values and experiences. Generation Z, having grown up during the pandemic without traditional expectations, may adapt differently than millennials who experienced unmet expectations. However, we must remain humble about our predictive abilities—we're not good at forecasting technological change or its timing. The best approach is maintaining openness, trying to understand developments as they unfold, and accepting that we cannot consume all information in an era of unlimited AI-generated content.

Guest: Jeremy Zakis. Six cockatoos are scouting Zakis's roof and solar panels, behaving similarly to when they destroyed a neighbor's house. His dog Dallas cannot see them from the veranda to scare them off. Zakis considers using a drone to deter the birds since harming them is illegal, but fears expensive repairs are inevitable.

In an effort to make their farms more environmentally and economically sustainable, some farmers are experimenting with agrivoltaics: growing crops underneath solar panels. This dual harvest is working for some, but what will it take for agrivoltaics to work on a larger, more industrial scale? Joining Host Ira Flatow are journalist Jana Rose Schleis and environmental economics expert Madhu Khanna.Guests:Jana Rose Schleis is a news producer at KBIA in Columbia, Missouri.
