Solar, Storage, & EV Charging: The Holy Trinity Of Home Energy Management At #SPI2019
Solar Power International landed in Salt Lake City, Utah this year and CleanTechnica was on the ground meeting with the change makers, the disruptors, the doers, the movers, and the shakers. We’ve been diving into some of the companies we talked with, but having covered SPI for several years now, we wanted to highlight one of the newer arrivals at the show: electric vehicles.
Tesla FUD: I Was Wrong
A while ago, I started a semi-regular series in which I examined specific cases of Tesla FUD (or “Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt”). The plan was that I would look at a FUD topic that it seemed a ton of stock analysts were suddenly communicating about Tesla. The idea began because in my regular check-ins about how Tesla was doing, I would often find my newsfeed dominated by a bunch of writers claiming the same basic idea, and how that idea showed that Tesla was in big trouble.
Some In The Solar Industry Need To Clean Up Their Image
People can avoid rising energy costs by going solar, and lower their environmental footprints at the same time. The financial and environmental advantages alone are enough to sell solar systems. There’s no need for deceptive practices.

SolarCity Founders Peter & Lyndon Rive Join ZOLA Electric To Advance Solar In Africa
The co-founders of SolarCity have resurfaced on the global stage and they have a new pet project that also happens to be powered by the sun.

Florida Public Service Commission Opens The Floodgates For Solar Leases
Florida residents have a new option for going green with their electricity as the Florida Public Service Commission approved Tesla’s SolarLease option today. The ruling came after a long debate over the program to determine if it represented the sale of electricity to consumers, which is not allowed.
What Changed In The Solar & Energy Storage Industries In 2018?
I started covering the solar energy industry seriously in 2009. It seemed like a hopping, exciting time in the industry — growth was exploding. I remember one early story in which readers admonished me a little because I put “Solar Power Exploding” in a headline, and they thought I was referring to genuine explosions.
