The solar industry is in a bit of a hangover.
Rolling into the second quarter post-IRA, the solar and battery industry is still trying to figure out what business-as-normal looks like without significant government subsidies. Does every project become a TPO or pre-paid lease? How do we manage FEOC compliance? What happens to all those half-assed installs from fly-by-night installers? The party is over, and it's up to us to clean it up.Hosted by Elastic Energy & Friends β‘οΈ
