To Electrify or Not to Electrify…that is the question.” Wrong, Mr. Shakespeare. The real questions are economic: what are the costs, savings, incentives, comfort changes, etc. And then finding qualified contractors. Balto Energy is developing software that simplifies the process, focused initially on solar professionals to help them guide homeowners from the initial electrification analysis all the way through financing. Listen up to this week's Energy Show episode as we talk with James Quazi, CEO of Balto Energy, about making home electrification easier for everyone.

How did a few visionaries take a fledgling solar industry and turn it into a $100 billion powerhouse???This week on?The Energy Show, we sit down with Gerard Reid, co-founder of Alexa Capital, who was among the first to recognize solar’s massive potential. Back in 2005, he saw how smart financing could transform a niche market into a global energy revolution. Now, in 2024, solar and storage promise ultra-low-cost power worldwide—but not without navigating obstacles from legacy industries and restrictive policies. Don’t miss Gerard's insider take on what it took to unlock solar’s staggering growth potential. Listen in at?https://lnkd.in/gWuFT6iq

If you want somebody to love, it’s probably not your greedy local monopoly utility. So cut the cord but don’t turn out the lights! All you need is a rooftop solar array and battery that meets your peak usage requirements — plus a little help from a friendly plug-in EV. It’s called Grid Defection, and new solar, battery and EV technology makes it all possible. I’m gonna try with a little help from my solar, battery and EV friends. Speaking of friends, John Farrell from?the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) joins us to explore how local solar is challenging big utility monopolies – especially in California, where utilities are pushing rates to the breaking point point. You can get any thing you want when it comes to powering your home with the right solar, battery and EV technology. It’s a Grid Defection Movement!?Tune into this week’s #EnergyShow to find out more! ???? https://lnkd.in/gpkZXtBP

Nuclear power will make electricity too cheap to meter,” a prediction made in a 1954 statement from the head of the Atomic Energy Commission.?Fast forward 70 years and I’m making a similar prediction — only this time the power source is our 93-million-mile-away fusion generator: the sun. With rooftop solar already producing power delivered to customers for as low as $0.06/kWh, the contrast with California’s $0.45/kWh grid rates is stunning. Dirt cheap electricity will bring monumental shifts in the energy industry: Gasoline demand will drop as EVs hit the road. Natural gas demand will decline as heat pumps and solar power take over. Utilities will face upheaval as solar and batteries redefine grid dynamics. Join this week’s Energy Show as we explore why these shifts are inevitable — and why utilities are fighting a losing battle against rooftop solar and storage growth.
