Dr. Ernst Galutschek knows a thing or two about maritime!

At 2% of global GHG's, the high seas are in for a wave of renewable energy integration much like cars, trucking and aviation.

Check out this discussion as we navigate hydrogen, LNG, sails, solar on ships of the future!

Join Josh, Jay and Brian Thomas as they welcome Gary Dolberg to the airwaves to discuss PV panel coatings and his company Perfectly Clear powered by EnduroShield. Use this panel coating pre-installation to optimize energy generation by reducing soil accretion and optimizing your operating and maintenance strategy... all equating to extra power and energy over the system lifetime!

Josh and Jason sit down to here from MECO Director Mat McNeff about recently integrated plans to bring Hawaii Island and Maui Islands under one single organizational structure. RFP Phase 2 and what our island home might look like with a dominant shift to renewables in the upcoming years is explored and considered.

Join Josh and Jay as they sit down with George Bye CEO of Bye Aerospace. George walks us through the upcoming revolution from trainers, to air taxis, heavy payload hybrids all the way through to high voltage commercial applications and the megawatt level engines of the future.

Aloha and welcome to the future of solar.

Hawaii is leading the way with its post NEM solar model and while utility scale solar is booming, residential solar is having a rough time!

Whats the best model to preserve citizen's choice and solar company jobs once the utility decides its ready to embrace solar wholeheartedly?

On our way to our 100% RPS ( renewable portfolio standard) will the local companies that paved the way be left to the wayside? Will homeowners energy autonomy be compromised or will we arrive at a new balance protecting all interested parties not just the big companies looking to make a profit?

Who shares in the opportunity that clean energy provides?!

Tune in to hear Will dig deep and provide tremendous insight into this world this week on the SolarCoaster!

Tune in as Josh and Jay release their big VPP show from a trip to Wildpoldsried in Southern Germany earlier this Spring.

The guys meet up with Global head of PR Mathias Bloch and Managing Director of e services Jean-Baptiste Cornefert to talk all things Sonnen and the coming battery revolution.

If your interested in .. battery backup, battery chemistry, value stacking of grid services and the myriad advantages presented by Virtual Power Planting you'll want to tune into this one.
