While I expect to see some reduction in residential solar next year because of the loss of the ITC, I also expect to grow the market as we reduce the cost towards a $2/W national average. We've seen an egregiously bad jump in predatory finance and sales practices in the last several years which

Everyone keeps talking about cutting government spending but what about government value, like revenue generation and value to the public? I mean there seems to be only slashing spending and no assessment to what value is being cut, what capacity being shrunk, eliminated, etc.

Great to see @timlatimer.bsky.social spreading warm and fuzzy feelings about advanced geothermal at #Deploy24.

Great #Deploy24 conversation between @jigarshahdc.bsky.social, Neil Chatterjee, & Heather Reams of CRES on creating bipartisan support for acceleration of clean energy deployment and making sure the US leads the world in the 21st century's economy of AI, advanced manufacturing, and electric machines

@jigarshahdc.bsky.social kicking off day 2 of #Deploy24.

Hey #EnergySky peeps! Who's all here at #Deploy24?

Great time to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and make plans to accelerate deployment of clean energy infrastructure.

While it's great to celebrate the colossal achievement that is the Inflation Reduction Act, we must also recognize that there's still so much left to do. Too often we abdicate to federal government programs, rather than take on the task of pushing from the bottom up.

Field of Dreams gave me unrealistic expectations about DTC customer acquisition.
Point Break (1991) gave me unrealistic expectations about perfectly predicting 50-year storms
Home Alone gave me unrealistic expectations about absolutely sick treehouses

Happy Saturday #EnergySky. Does anyone on here have experience with the Kia EV9? We're turning in our Bolt and are considering the EV9, MachE, Ioniq5, or the ID4 to accommodate our expanding family & occupant needs.

For those of us working to make distributed #solar more affordable, it hurts to see the savings wrought by improvements in hardware & some soft-costs being eaten up by CAC.

If you work in distributed #EnergySky, what solutions most excite you for bringing down these costs?
