In this show we talk about the different stages of development of solar projects, which are projects that are from 1MW in size to GW sized projects.

 

Matias Sigal is an entrepreneur and has worked with many startups and incubators in different countries. He started off by being born in Argentina, and is currently a resident of Israel (which we discuss at the end of the podcast).

 

Matias has a company that developed software, which works sort of like Zillow for multimillion dollar solar projects. 80% of potential projects do not get developed, because they are missing some of the criteria. REplace can analyze thousands of potential sites at once, so that early stage developers do not have to spend 30 minutes per site analyzing things independently. His software can do over 100 years of hard work with the click of a button.

 

Some of the topics we cover:

 

8 stages of project development

Community Solar (contrasting with and not Community Choice Aggregation)

Agrivoltaics

GIS

Israel, Argentina and Europe

CapEx & OpEx
