Solar power keeps growing in the United States. In the month of June, 60.1% of new power capacity added in the country was from solar power plants. Another 37.5% was from wind power plants.

An article from a couple of weeks ago, "This Stunning Chart Shows Why Battery Electric Vehicles Win," somehow actually led in terms of eyeballs last week, but since it wasn't published last week, it's not included in this top 20 list. (Good to see that it got so much love, though.)

Ah, man. It's annoying as heck to see people who you think are idiots screw up a topic you know well, but it's an extra special kind of annoying when brilliant people screw up — massively — on that same topic.

We connected with Generac's Chief Marketing Officer and president of its new clean energy business, Russ Minick, at SPI 2019, to talk about its big pivot into energy storage products to learn more about where that strategy came from.
