What if the tools you use to sell solar are setting you up to fail?That's the uncomfortable truth Jason Steinberg, CEO of Scanifly, is tackling head-on.In this episode recorded live at NABCEP 2025, Jason and Nico dig into the disconnect between sales and operations in solar—where remote designs sell the dream, but outdated imagery and manual measurements leave teams scrambling on install day.Jason shares how his team is transforming the design process by putting drones and data at the center of solar workflows. The result? Fewer change orders, faster permitting, and a safer, smarter job site.Expect to learn:

In a market flooded with cheap imports and geopolitical risk, one company is standing its ground.Did you know there's only one North American battery management system (BMS) provider at utility scale—despite growing pressure from subsidized Chinese competitors offering systems at zero cost? Michael Worry, CEO of Nuvation Energy, joins Nico to share how his company became that lone provider. But the core of this episode brings a critical warning: what happens when over 80% of the U.S. battery infrastructure is owned or influenced by foreign governments? And how should engineers and lawmakers respond?Michael takes us on a wild entrepreneurial ride: from building EVs before Tesla was cool to deploying robot kegerators at Burning Man. Nuvation's “garage projects” aren't just PR stunts—they're real-world user acceptance test platforms that prove product reliability under extreme conditions.Expect to learn:

Nextracker just made yet another bold move…What if a robot could detect a solar failure before it happens—and build the repair plan to deploy the right resources to the precise location, in real time?That's not science fiction. It's what OnSight Technology is already doing on numerous utility-scale solar farms across the US. And Nextracker have officially acquired OnSight Technology! So, if you're here because you're asking yourself “What the heck? Why did NXT Buy this company, and what do they actually do?!” then you're in luck!In this exclusive episode—recorded before the news dropped—we sat down with Derek Chase, Founder & CEO of OnSight, at their HQ in Sacramento, CA for an inside peek at the autonomous robotics platform that just made headlines.From the Bulldog robot that scans sites with 3D vision and thermal imaging to the OwlCam that detects smoke and fire in real-time, OnSight is setting the standard for predictive, AI-powered solar O&M. But I believe that Derek and his team of NASA Scientists are up to much more than just optimizing solar.It's not just impressive tech—it's a full-stack solution that saves developers, EPCs, and asset owners millions in avoidable losses.If you care about the future of solar performance (Or are just curious about the tech behind Nextracker's latest acquisition), this is a must-listen.Expect to hear:

Stage 17 delivered chaos and courage in equal measure. In torrential rain and greasy conditions, sprinters battled for supremacy on the road to Valence.A late crash inside the final kilometre shattered the sprint train, but Jonathan Milan stayed upright and surged to his second stage win, tightening his grip on the green jersey. Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard avoided the carnage, preserving their GC positions as the peloton edged closer to the Alps.Stage 18 was the Queen Stage—and it lived up to the billing. With over 5,400 metres of climbing across three brutal ascents, including the infamous Col de la Loze, it was a day for the mountain goats. Ben O'Connor launched a daring solo attack and conquered the summit through hail and heartbreak to claim a career-defining win.Behind him, Pogačar once again distanced Vingegaard in the final kilometre, extending his overall lead to 4 minutes and 26 seconds.Meanwhile, young Scot Oscar Onley matched the GC giants pedal for pedal, closing in on a podium spot with just days to go.

Escucha el desenlace de la 17ª etapa con la llegada final a Valence. Protagonistas.

Milan gana su segunda etapa del Tour en un accidentado 'sprint' que no inquieta el liderato de Pogacar.

Bajo una lluvia torrencial que convirtió la llegada a Valence en una auténtica pista de patinaje, el ciclista italiano Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) se alzó con la victoria en la decimoséptima etapa del Tour de Francia 2025. La jornada estuvo marcada por una caída masiva a falta de un kilómetro para la meta, un incidente que desorganizó el embalaje. Desde la ruta del Tour de France, Ana Maria Ospina El público eufórico, el viento soplando fuerte y la lluvia bañando los últimos 40 kilómetros de la décima séptima etapa. Bajo el aguacero el pelotón avanzó agrupado hacia la meta en la ciudad de Valence. Los equipos prepararon la llegada para lanzar a sus embaladores, pero una caída masiva bajo el triángulo rojo que anuncia el último kilómetro redujo la pelea por la victoria de etapa a un grupo de tan solo 12 corredores. En la caída quedaron atrapados dos favoritos a la victoria: el belga Tim Merlier y el eritreo Birman Girmay. El equipo XDS-Astana lanzó el sprint para que se impusiera su velocista Davide Ballerin, pero fue otro italiano el que se la llevó: Jonathan Milan. "Fue caótico, pero increíble", declaró un exultante Milan tras conseguir su segunda victoria en esta edición del Tour. "Esperaba un poco de lluvia. Nos colocamos lo mejor que pudimos y los chicos me pusieron en el mejor lugar justo antes de la caída". Con este triunfo, Milan no solo saborea la gloria de la etapa, sino que también afianza de manera casi definitiva su maillot verde como líder de la clasificación por puntos. Para los ciclistas latinoamericanos, la jornada fue una prueba de resistencia y cautela. El colombiano Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain Victorious) describió el día como "muy pestoso", una mezcla de tensión constante y el peligro añadido de la lluvia. "Menos mal no estamos peleando la general y ahí al final hemos preferido ya pensar en lo que va a ser mañana", comentó el talentoso escalador, resumiendo el sentir de aquellos que ahora se enfocan en las oportunidades en la alta montaña. La General se Mantiene, Pogacar Salva el Día A pesar del caos desatado en el último kilómetro, la clasificación general no sufrió alteraciones significativas gracias a que la caída se produjo dentro de la zona de protección. Tadej Pogacar, siempre atento, logró mantenerse a salvo y conserva el preciado maillot amarillo con una sólida ventaja de 4'15” sobre su más inmediato perseguidor, Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma | Lease a Bike). Rumbo a los Alpes   Superado el trámite de Valence, el pelotón ya tiene la mente puesta en las dos jornadas alpinas que se avecinan, consideradas decisivas para el desenlace del Tour. La primera cita es este jueves en la décima octava etapa con salida desde Vif rumbo al temible Col de la Loze. En la etapa reina de este Tour de Francia con 5.500 metros de desnivel positivo acumulado. Gran parte vendrá de las subidas al Col du Glandon y el Col de la Madeleine, a más de 2.000 metros sobre el nivel del mar.

No te pierdas el último episodio de este 'A tumba abierta by BKOOL', con los detalles de la 17.ª etapa del Tour de Francia 2025. Jonathan Milan volvió a ser el mejor de los velocistas en la llegada al esprint de Valence y la general no se movió a pesar de una fea caída masiva justo antes de llegar a la meta.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jonathan Milan is niet onder de immense druk bezweken. De groenetruidrager moest woensdag het volle pond halen om zijn voorsprong ten opzichte van Tadej Pogačar en slaagde daar wonderwel in. Het is voor hem nu zaak om de komende twee etappes de tussensprint te winnen en daarna de Alpen te overleven. Het klassement staat daarin namelijk op het spel. In de WielerFlits Update blikken we ruimschoots vooruit.WINACTIEDe winactie van vandaag: maak kans op een Lazer Z1 Kineticore TDF-helm van Shimano! Wil jij kansmaken op deze prijs? Speel dan deze Tourzomer mee met de WielerFlits winactie.Etappe zeventien van Bollène naar Valence was een dubbeltje op zijn kant. Door de opgave van Mathieu van der Poel was er echter geen enkele ploeg bij gebaat om het sowieso niet op een massasprint te laten aankomen en dus was de vlucht van de dag al snel als een muis voor de kat. Toch sputterde met name Jonas Abrahamsen fel tegen. Met een ongeziene chasse patat van Wout van Aert als gevolg. Uiteindelijk kwam er in een regenachtig Valence toch een sprint, maar een grote valpartij ontsierde dat flink. Milan bleef buiten schot en deed zo een gouden zaak.Biniam Girmay lijkt vooralsnog het grootste slachtoffer van die valpartij, waar Europees kampioen Tim Merlier na afloop niet over te spreken was. Ondanks dat er slechts tien renners overbleven voor de laatste sprint, zagen we daarin nog wel een opvallend beeld. Kazachs kampioen Yevgeniy Fedorov trok de sprint fors aan voor ploegmaat Davide Ballerini, waarna Fedorov zich liet wegzakken. Hij pikte op een lagere snelheid toch weer in en hinderde daarmee zijn collega's. Een bewuste actie constateren onze verslaggevers Maxim en Youri. Zij roepen op tot een gele kaart.Maar het duo kijkt vooral uit naar de etappe van donderdag. Dan staat de koninginnenrit op het programma van Vif naar de top van Col de la Loze van buitencategorie. In aanloop naar de 26 kilometer lange klim (!) liggen er met de Col du Glandon en de Col de la Madeleine nog eens twee bergen van buitencategorie te wachten. Vluchters lijken kansloos, want onze mannen verwachten dat Visma | Lease a Bike de koers ontzettend hard gaat maken in functie van Jonas Vingegaard. Zij geloven dat ze de Tour kunnen winnen.

Commercial & Industrial solar is no longer just about getting panels up on the roof (Or over the parking lot, as the case may be). I wanted to explore something that's been bugging me…given the increase in C&I traction lately, what's still holding the sector back from adopting batteries at scale?For the answer, I turned to Jayson Smith, Solutions Engineer at CPS America, to better understand how footprint, lead times, and complexity have historically stalled C&I battery storage adoption. But that's all rapidly changing thanks to smarter tech, tighter energy management integration, and a drive to reduce total cost of ownership. From 3.5-year payback periods to shrinking footprints, this episode is packed with insights to help installers and developers stay ahead of the storage curve.Expect to learn:

En la mítica cima del 'Gigante de Provenza', el ciclista colombiano Santiago Buitrago se quedó a un suspiro de la victoria de etapa, en un día que vio la primera victoria francesa de este Tour y un nuevo duelo entre los líderes de la general. Desde la ruta del Tour de France, Ana María Ospina. La expectación era máxima en el equipo Bahrain Victorious. A pie de carretera, el masajista Ibai Jiménez no ocultaba su nerviosismo y esperanza. "Parece que ha entrado ahora y ojalá le quede dos gramos más de fuerza y nos llevamos esta etapa hoy", comentaba mientras el colombiano Santiago Buitrago se jugaba sus cartas en la subida final. Quedaban menos de dos kilómetros para llegar a la cima del Mont Ventoux y la tensión era palpable. Buitrago seguía el ritmo impuesto por el francés Valentin Paret-Peintre y el irlandés Ben Healy. Se los unió el español Eric Mas, quien había estado varios kilómetros en cabeza deshecho de varios favoritos a la victoria de etapa con su potente pedaleo en los tramos más inclinados se había deshecho de varios favoritos a la victoria final, pero no pudo con el trio que lo envistió. "He tenido mejores días, pero ha sido un buen día de tour. Hemos disfrutado, la verdad", declararía el español al finalizar la etapa. Entre el trío de cabeza, el joven galo fue el más rápido. Paret-Peintre remató a la perfección la fuga del día para conseguir la primera victoria francesa en esta edición del Tour.   Buitrago, en un esfuerzo titánico, llegó apenas cuatro segundos después, asegurando un meritorio tercer puesto. "La verdad, ha sido un Tour muy, muy difícil para mí", confesó un emocionado Buitrago tras cruzar la meta. A pesar de la dureza, el colombiano encuentra motivos para celebrar. "Siempre mi familia ha creído mucho, el equipo, y a pesar de todo, este tercer lugar para mí, en lo personal, significa bastante”. El escarabajo, de 25 años, venía a este Tour con el objetivo de conseguir un puesto importante en la clasificación general. Sin embargo, una violenta caída en la séptima etapa acabó con sus posibilidades, obligándole a reorientar sus metas hacia una victoria de etapa. "Quedan etapas muy duras y bueno, como siempre, lo seguiremos intentando. Una pena ahí al final", concluyó con la mirada puesta en el futuro. Pogacar y Vingegaard, un duelo aparte Mientras unos luchaban por la etapa, otros lo hacían por la clasificación general. Miles de personas repartidas a lo largo de los 21 kilómetros de ascensión también presenciaron otro duelo, el protagonizado por Tadej Pogacar y Jonas Vingegaard. El danés intentó en al menos tres ocasiones atacar y deshacerse del esloveno. Sin embargo, Pogacar respondió con solidez en los últimos metros, llegando a meta en quinto lugar y afianzándose aún más como líder de la general. Con esta actuación, Pogacar ahora aventaja a Vingegaard en 4'15''. La decimoséptima etapa de este miércoles se presenta como un recorrido llano de 160 kilómetros entre Bollène y Valence, con dos puertos de montaña de cuarta categoría.

In der aktuellen Ausgabe berichtet Denk von der 16. Etappe der Tour de France 2025. „Wir sind sehr zufrieden, die ganze Mannschaft hat heute einen super Job gemacht“, sagt der 51-Jährige. Besonderes Lob hat der Teammanager für Primoz Roglic übrig. „Am heutigen Tag hat man klar gesehen, was Primoz auch mit 36 Jahren noch für eine Klasse hat. Er wird immer besser, das kann nicht jeder“, analysiert Denk. Im Hintergrund geht es um verschiedene Hörerfragen, die die Bereiche Ausrüstung, Technik und die Rolle Denks während der Rennen angeht. Im letzten Teil geht es um die 17. Etappe, die am Mittwoch gefahren wird. Auf dem 160,4 Kilometer langen Abschnitt zwischen Bollène und Valence müssen die Fahrer nur zwei kleine Berge der vierten Kategorie passieren, vieles deutet auf einen Massensprint hin. „Wenn der Wind nicht eine zu große Rolle spielt, gehe ich von einem Massensprint aus. Die Sprinter haben nicht mehr viele Chancen“, sagt Denk abschließend. Kontakt: tobias.ruf@ovbmedia.de Foto: IMAGO/Fotoreporter Sirotti Stefano

What happens when a solar technician calls themselves a “Level 2,” but no one knows what that actually means?For years, solar O&M has lacked the structure and standardization seen in other trades. The result? Confusing job titles, wage inflation, inconsistent training, and safety risks. But that's all about to change.In this Tactical Tuesday episode, Nico Johnson is joined by Amanda Bybee, CEO of Amicus O&M Cooperative, and Karo Fernandez, Technical Training manager at AES Clean Energy. Together, they have helped create and rollout ANSI/SEIA 301, the first ANSI-accredited standard defining technician levels in the solar industry! They share how a diverse coalition of stakeholders—from co-ops to giants like AES—came together to define skill levels, competencies, and a real career ladder for solar techs.Amanda breaks down the origin of the standard, why it's necessary, and how it was shaped through broad consensus (60+ companies!). Karo brings it to life, showing how AES is rolling out hands-on, real-world training that prioritizes safety and clarity.If your business hires solar technicians—or wants to keep them—this episode is a must-listen.Expect to Learn:

Your solar project is one storm away from financial disaster!That's not just fear-mongering—it's the reality many developers are waking up to. In this episode, Nico sits down with Jason Kaminsky, CEO of KWH Analytics, the data-driven company reshaping how solar projects are financed and insured. You've probably already read this year's Solar Risk Assessment—that's the genius and hard–work of Jason's team on full display, and the latest SRA dropped in Mid-June, so we're here to cover the details for you.We're presently in a high-stakes reality of asset performance, from the rise of “big and floppy” modules to the silent cost of wildfire smoke and hail storms. You'll hear how the kWh Analytics team built a robust data infrastructure from scratch (literally by asking for spreadsheets from anyone who'd listen) and turned it into risk mitigation tools Wall Street trusts.More than just an insurance firm, KWH Analytics is building financial scaffolding for a volatile climate future—and they're doing it with a mission to make solar stronger.Expect to Learn:

What makes someone actually care about solar? It's not the data. It's the story.On this special “SundayCast”, Nico sits down with the Reverend himself—Aaron Nichols (okay, not officially a Reverend, but the story behind that title is worth tuning in for). Aaron has made waves as a marketing & advocacy specialist at Exact Solar, helping the company thrive in a time when many others in solar are shrinking. His secret? Telling stories that spark action.From a school greenhouse in Philly to a donated community solar project, Aaron shares how real narratives—not kilowatt stats—are driving leads, national press, and community engagement. If you're tired of wonky white papers and want to learn how to make clean energy compelling, what you'll learn in this episode needs to be part of your playbook.Expect to learn:

What if a renewable energy power plant could achieve capacity factors above 70%? Wouldn't that make it, finally, FIRM baseload power, dispatchable and “reliable” for the grid? Can ai help? What else is required? The simple answer is hybridization, but a long-time industry pioneer is here to tell us more.Martin Hermann has spent the last 2 decades pioneering the future of utility-scale solar. From founding 8minutenergy, one of the first to bring Utility-scale solar parks to the US, to launching BrightNight, focused now on making solar dispatchable, Martin's mission has stayed consistent: make renewables not just clean—but reliable.In the latest episode of SunCast, you'll hear how BrightNight is rethinking the way we build power plants, why Martin deliberately didn't hire solar industry veterans, and how AI is changing the way utilities plan for grid stability. This isn't about adding more megawatts—it's about turning renewables into baseload power, with capacity factors north of 70%.Martin shares how he's using hybridization (wind + solar + batteries + market integration) to unlock grid value, and what it takes to design dispatchable renewables from the ground up.Expect to learn:

“Even the most unsinkable ship can sink.”That's Trevor Noah reflecting on the fragility of democracy, and he's not just here to make you laugh—he's here to challenge how you think. At CLEANPOWER 2025, Trevor delivers a brilliant, unscripted dialogue with Jason Grumet, the Chief Executive Officer of American Clean Power, unpacking how stories shape our national psyche—and what that means for the clean energy movement.This episode is full of surprises.
