The solar industry is going through a major shift—and most people don’t fully understand what’s happening.

In this episode, Emmitt sits down with Will White from Fluke to unpack the reality behind the headlines.

They cover:

  •  The phase-out of residential incentives and what comes next 
  •  Why rising utility rates are accelerating solar adoption 
  •  The role of batteries, virtual power plants, and grid stability 
  •  How AI and automation are quietly transforming solar O&M 
  •  The evolution of solar careers and the skills that matter 
  •  The shakeout of low-quality installers—and why that’s a good thing 

This is not hype. This is what’s actually happening in the field.

If you’re in solar—or thinking about it—this episode gives you a clear view of where things are headed.
