In this first episode of Solar Repowered, Cesar Barbosa introduces the purpose of the show, who it is meant to serve, and why the solar industry needs real conversations about aging systems. He explains why this podcast exists, why aging portfolios are becoming a growing concern for owners and operators, and why the industry has lacked clarity on what happens after year ten.
