OBBB Fallout: Tom Werner on Surviving the Solar Shake-Up


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of The Energy Show with Barry Cinnamon, we break down how the elimination of the 30% residential solar tax credit and new commercial restrictions are shaking up the entire solar industry.

Joining Barry is Tom Werner, former CEO & Chairman of SunPower, one of the most respected leaders in solar. Together they cover:


  • What the OBBB really means for homeowners and contractors
  • Why 2025 might be a record-breaking year for installs — and what happens in 2026
  • How smart solar companies can pivot to full-home electrification
  • The future of TPO, storage, and repowering
  • How to survive and thrive when margins shrink and policies shift
  • The critical role of software, service, and future-proof equipment
  • Why policy (and CALSSA) matters more than ever


Whether you’re a solar contractor, energy investor, or homeowner trying to understand the future of rooftop solar — this conversation has real-world insights from two industry veterans.
