Although perceived demand for solar, storage and electrification is at an all-time high, economic and political uncertainties cast a cloud over even the most attractive clean energy market segments. Nevertheless, with the strong business focus of the Trump administration, large-scale clean energy projects are more likely…

Electrification incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are already starting to drive demand for heat pumps and electrical upgrades, just as tax credits accelerated the solar and EV markets in the past. My better half pointed out that 2024…

The current utility-based EV charging paradigm is based on using home-based bidirectional EV chargers to support the electric grid in late afternoons and evenings. Alas, this vehicle-to-grid (V2G) setup is an inefficient…
