The topic of workforce development is near and dear to our hearts at MREA. We started providing training in solar PV, solar thermal, small wind energy, and energy efficiency in 1990. We were one of the first accredited solar training programs in the country and still maintain accreditation with the Interstate Renewable Energy Council to this day. For over thirty years we've committed ourselves to offering the most accessible, affordable, and market relevant solar training and today more than 600 individuals a year utilize our training to get a foothold in the industry, earn certifications, and sharpen their skills.   In 2011, when we started our first instructor training program, the market was much different than today. Solar employment demand was pretty much only real in California and Hawaii with other states just starting to shine. The national electrician shortage was forecast but seemed a distant and avoidable problem. Utility companies were opposed to solar projects, even large-scale facilities, indicated the technology would never be ready for prime time.   One group that fully recognized the transformative potential of solar energy was the US Dept. of Energy which launched the SunShot Initiative with the goal of reducing the cost of solar energy by 75% and making it the cheapest source of electricity in the US. This goal, I should note, was met with much skepticism at the time. Today we know that the cost declines envisioned by SunShot were achieved earlier and more steeply than anyone expected. With the last 5 years of solar and wind as the leading sources of new energy capacity additions in the US, the promise of a solar jobs boom started to become reality.  And now, with a massive federal energy infrastructure investment that locks in a decade of tax policy certainty, the market is fundamentally changed from a decade ago and the doubts about employment needs have been erased. Today, we can confidently say that there have never been more employment opportunities for skilled workers, young and old.   To explore the needs, opportunities, and challenges to meet the workforce needs of the energy transition, we talked with Richard Lawrence, Program Director with the Interstate Renewable Energy Council.  Guest: Richard Lawrence, Program Director, Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) Episode Notes ___________________ 0:20 – MREA's history in solar workforce development  3:53 – Federal legislation impacting the energy workforce  7:11 - Scale of the workforce need  8:06 – Inflation Reduction Act's impact on workforce needs  9:10 – Key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act  12:42 – In demand career positions for the energy transition  16:00 – Inflation Reduction Act and labor provisions  18:50 – How to join an apprenticeship program  20:23 - Benefits of apprenticeships to employers  23:36 - Federal investment impact on solar certifications  26:00 – In demand occupations during the energy transition  28:00 – Considerations for project developers  30:30 – Occupations for meter connected solar  33:00 – Programs to inspire  35:07 – Inclusion in the energy workforce  39:25 – A magic solution to workforce shortage  42:22 – The value of NABCEP certification  47:50 – The next generation of solar PV instructors  Episode Resources: Clean energy group reports jobs and investments coming to Michigan What Could Chill Heat Pumps ‘We can't find people to work': The newest threat to Biden's climate policies Four Ways to Prepare for the IRA's Upcoming Apprenticeship Requirements Prevailing Wage and the Inflation Reduction Act Solar Jobs Census 9 Million Good Jobs from Climate Action The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 IREC Solar Career Map KidWind NEED trains and assists teachers in harnessing the energy of the classroom – the energy of students MREA Instructor, Alex Jarvis Named IREC Master Trainer MREA Hosts Clean Energy Career Fair at 32nd Annual Energy Fair June 2023 MREA's Accredited Training Programs Solar Energy Job Board

Spencer Fields and Andrew Grandahl discuss the remarkable success of a Department of Energy initiative called SunShot in bringing down solar prices in the U.S.

California released a white paper last week documenting the stunning decline of the customer base for investor-owned utilities in the state. Meanwhile, the state is facing more and more curtailments, negative electricity pricing, and, on top of it all, a looming solar eclipse. What can we learn about market design from the nation’s solar leader? Then, getting to terawatt-scale PV. Researchers and policymakers are getting serious about thousands and thousands of gigawatts of solar in the coming decades. And they’re asking some hard questions about market design. What does the world look like under that scenario? Finally, we'll end with a fast cycle through some of the top news stories. How worried should you be? This week's podcast was recorded live at GTM's Solar Summit. For access to videos of all our sessions -- featuring First Solar, Sunpower, Sunshot, Google, SEIA, Sunrun and more -- sign up for GTM Squared. This podcast is sponsored by KACO New Energy, a leading solar inverter company with superior engineering and unmatched customer service.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Lidija Sekaric about ways to disrupt an industry and leveraging government resources.  Lydia has held a number of progressive positions within the Department of Energy over the last eight years.  As a Director, Deputy Director, and Group Manager in the SunShot Initiative, Lidija managed a portfolio of $1B in project funding in solar research and development. She helped drive the near and long-term solar program strategy, out-year budgets, and new initiatives.  As a Senior Technical Advisor for the Under Secretary for Energy, Lidija oversaw strategic projects involving $4B in renewables, fossil, nuclear and grid technologies at the Department of Energy.  In our discussion, we focus on the significant progress made under the SunShot Initiative. When SunShot was launched in 2011, it set a goal for solar energy to become cost-competitive with traditional forms of electricity by 2020 without subsidies. This goal set cost targets at $0.09 per kilowatt hour for residential photovoltaics (PV), $0.07 per kilowatt hour for commercial PV, and $0.06 per kilowatt hour for utility-scale PV. In May 2016, SunShot released a series of eight research papers that examined the progress made toward the SunShot’s goals. It found that, just five years into the initiative, the solar industry had already achieved 70% of the progress toward the 2020 goals, spurring the department to determine new targets beyond 2020. We talk with Lidija about the innovations behind their success and where they had to pivot in order to hit their goals in an increasingly volatile political environment.   Show Notes: Learn more about the Department of Energy's  Sunshot Initiative Speaking of Home Towns...here's Lydia's Most Gifted Books:  Anything by Barbara Kingsolver

A changing grid, a changing market, tools, trainings, storage, policy, standards, codes, working together - whew! And a whole lot more with Charlie Gay (DOE, SunShot). The post All On The Same Page appeared first on BayWa r.e. Solar Systems.

The solar industry is one of our most obvious success stories. Our industry directly employs 261,000 people. We generate energy that is both clean and renewable. And we generate this energy at prices that are less than conventional utility power – as low as 6 cents per kwh. But the industry is not resting on its laurels: installation costs for residential solar will continue to decline (BTW, what's a laurel?). $1.50 per installed watt was the original target of the SunShot program for residential solar. I think it's going to take many more years to get to these low installation costs – even getting to $2.00 watt on the average seems almost insurmountable to me. Not because of the hardware costs; these are continuing to decline. But because of the soft costs like labor, sales & marketing, financing and overhead. Nevertheless, $2.50/watt is a target that is within our sites over the next few years. Please join me on this Week's Energy Show on Renewable Energy World as I dissect the current cost stack for residential solar installations. We'll particularly focus on the three most likely ways that these average installation costs will be reduced: higher panel efficiency, less expensive equipment and better component integration. But don't hold your breath…overhead is more likely to go up than down.

Dr. Lidija Sekaric, deputy director of the SunShot Initiative, discuss the programs latest funding programs and progress in this Solar Speaks Live video, powered by Unirac, from the 2015 Solar Power International tradeshow.

Many of the most significant industrial and technological innovations in the U.S. were discovered, commercialized and expanded with government support. Turn the clock a century or two and you can see how the government was behind oil drilling and refining, transcontinental railroads and our electric grid. More recently the government's been successful with the space program, the internet and the biotech revolution. And these government efforts continue with solar. To quote the DOE: "In 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) was tasked with achieving the goals of the SunShot Initiative: to drive down the cost of solar electricity to be fully cost-competitive with traditional energy sources by the end of the decade." [no one else uses verbs like "tasked'] Suffice it to say that over the past few years SunShot has already been the motivating factor behind dozens of solar innovations, including new financing concepts (Connecticut Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority's "Green Bank,"), new flat roof and sloped roof PV mounting systems, clever CSP technologies, SolarTech's work to reduce permitting costs, and the Rooftop Solar Challenge. There is considerable momentum behind the dozens of projects that are in the midst of their funding stages, may of which are focused on making solar more affordable by reducing soft costs. SunShot staffers get into the field to understand real world problems and potential solutions. Sometimes that "field" is a steeply sloped roof -- which is where I started this week's interview with Minh Le, the Director of SunShot. After we moved to a more stable platform on the ground we had a good opportunity to talk about the overall SunShot program and how they reach out to solar industry participants. Please join me on this week's Energy Show on Renewable Energy World as Minh Le talks about SunShot's progress in reducing solar hard costs (equipment) and soft costs, as well as their efforts to help new companies and technologies get into the hands of customers where they can do the most good.
