Congress just passed the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s going to make things a little uglier for consumers: people have until the end of the year to get tax rebates on their solar investments, and costs will go up 30% after Dec. 31. HOWEVER, incentives are still.

Another week, another round of vicious storms in Texas. At one point last night, nearly 160,000 Texans were without power. About 80,000 still are. And more storms may be coming. Weather is only getting more extreme. Federal leaders need to preserve tax credits that help.

Today is the last day of the 89th Texas Legislative Session — which means a lot of state-level bills targeting affordable, reliable renewable energy are officially dead. So it's a good day to take a sigh of relief . and then get back to work preparing for what's coming. In.

As of this morning, more than 35,000 Austinites are without power (including my neighborhood), 14 hours after a severe hailstorm. Houston endured a similar challenge last summer, when Hurricane Beryl knocked out power across the city for days. These storms have been crazy and.

A few years back, I bought my dream house in Austin. The best part was that it was an older historic home. The worst part was … it was an older historic home. That meant, among other things, old ductwork, old HVAC equipment, and high electric bills. For me and many others, real

For nearly 15 years, my professional life has revolved around @FreedomSolarPwr. At some point recently, I realized the most important word in my company’s name isn’t “solar”; it’s “Freedom.”. So how do we deliver more freedom to our customers?. That starts with helping people

Our nation needs all the clean, affordable, reliable energy we can get — that very much includes solar power and battery storage. Unfortunately, both are under attack in Congress, as well as in Texas and other state legislatures. Check out my op-ed with Matthew Boms of.

> Restrictions on wind and solar development in Texas could increase wholesale power prices 14% over a decade. > Renewable power plants are easier to build right now than gas plants, due to supply chain issues around gas turbines. > 72% of Texans, including nearly two-thirds of.

Attacks on renewables are attacks on customers. If the Texas Legislature makes solar power more expensive, your bills will go up . and so will bills for oil companies, big manufacturers, and other large Texas energy buyers. No wonder so many groups and businesses are coming.

Big headline out of the Texas Capitol: the clean energy and fossil fuel industries have both rallied around the importance of renewables for our state's energy and economic future. Read more about the coalition that's defending Texas against anti-energy attacks — and why it's.

Spotlighting this important @DMNOpinion editorial on the anti-energy legislation moving through the Texas Capitol right now. There are less than five weeks left in the legislative session, and it's vital that lawmakers stop these bills in their tracks. Solar power, battery.

I went on record to discuss how a SunPower panel manufacturer, @waareegroup , has taken advantage of its customers. Despite their CEO saying they have rolled out a working warranty fulfillment process, we have found wrong numbers, dead ends, and no response when pushing on behalf.

Solar is providing a path for U.S. energy dominance. Politicians would be smart to embrace the message that solar is saving our butts. By most measures, the solar industry is still on a path for long-term growth, and solar and battery systems make more and more sense for more.

I'm always proud to be a part of the solar industry, but I'm especially proud on Earth Day. Check out this @FreedomSolarPwr post on the impact our company has had over the last 18 years. A couple of highlights:. > We've served 27,416 customers.> They will save nearly $1 billion.

Yesterday, the Texas Senate passed a bill that would devastate the renewable energy resources Texas needs to power its economy in coming years. Check out this @statesman op-ed from @jbmesser of the @APowerAlliance: it shows why the Texas Legislature MUST stop Senate Bill 819 and.

It'd be nice if the energy conversation at the Texas Capitol reflected what's happening in the real world. Over and over and over, renewables are bailing the state out, providing the energy Texas needs when temperatures rise and demand spikes. They're keeping prices low, keeping.

Solar is the increasingly dominant source of energy that our nation needs. Solar power and battery storage — at a grid scale or on individual homes — keep people free and safe from high bills and blackouts. The nation needs more of these resources, which means Congress and the.

At one point today, solar power covered more than half of the electricity demand in Texas, per @douglewinenergy. That caps — so far — what's already been a banner month for renewables on the ERCOT grid, according to @CanaryMediaInc:. "In just the first week of March, the ERCOT.

RT @FreedomSolarPwr: Step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself with a team that wants to help others achieve energy independence….

Severe storms knocked out power lines for more than 300,000 North Texans this morning. Meanwhile, rooftop solar panels can withstand winds of up to 140mph — and when coupled with battery storage units, they can keep the lights on and air conditioners running, no matter what's.
