Live from the Hub Stage at Intersolar 2025, Nico gathers a powerhouse podcaster panel to dig into what’s really going on in the solar & battery sectors. Sean White (Solar Sean), Chris Crowell (Solar Builder), and Joe Ordia (Solar Surge) don’t hold back as they swap stories and product insights live from the show floor, and discuss the tough realities facing the solar sector presently.

It’s equal parts geek-out, gut check, and group therapy. Don’t miss this behind-the-scenes take from media voices walking the solar beat daily.

🔹 Candid takes on layoffs, slow budgets & where growth is hiding

🔹 The comeback of module-level battery storage with a twist

🔹 Why solar permitting (still) might be our biggest bottleneck

🔹 How repowering could be the next big business opportunity
