这一集的b * +啤酒是high-leve展示l conversation about solar energy with guests Will Field of ReVision Energy, Sam Brown of Clean Energy New Hampshire, and Joseph Berry of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Will presents 10 tips for “smooth solar installation,” offering insight into things like consumption monitoring, off-grid vs. grid-tied systems, and quantifiable returns. The discussion touches on the next wave of thin-film technologies and solar infrastructure, which will hopefully drive costs down and/or increase capacity. There is talk of direct building–integrated PV, regulatory considerations that drive decisions to transition to renewable energy, net-metering, green loans, state incentives, soft costs, solar apps, and more.

Enjoy the show!
