Richard explains how solar has gone from an “alternative” option to a strategic decision for businesses, nonprofits, schools, and hospitals. He and Ken also dig into how AI is changing the way energy projects are planned, built, and run.
In this episode:
- Why solar is now a business decision, not just a green one
- How battery storage helps manage peak energy costs
- Comparing financing options and finding what fits your property

About Take Back Your Power
From the publisher's feed
Take Back Your Power is the show for business owners and operators who are done letting rising energy costs eat into their bottom line.
Hosted by Ken Stout of Solar Gain, each episode is a real conversation with the leaders behind California's most resilient businesses, from manufacturers and food producers to facility operators and community organizations. We dig into how they built their operations, how they stay competitive, and the smart decisions they are making to control costs and future-proof their business.
Energy is one of the biggest and fastest-rising expenses any business faces today, and right now there is a narrow window to do something about it. Along the way, we explore how the sharpest operators are cutting utility costs, reducing their dependency on the grid, and taking advantage of federal incentives before they expire, so you can make more informed decisions for your own business.
Whether you own your building, manage a large facility, or simply want to stop overpaying your utility company, this show is your playbook for taking back your power, literally and financially.
New episodes release regularly. Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.
