Solar Is Getting Super Cheap. What Next?

Solar Is Getting Super Cheap. What Next?

Coal has taken center stage publicly within the Trump Administration. But solar is the real innovation star behind the scenes.

This week, we're talking with Charlie Gay, the director of DOE's solar technologies office, about all the activity happening in the agency.

We'll discuss the solar power plants of the future: advances in power electronics; the normalization of energy storage; new ways to value and distribute solar electrons; and integration with the internet of things. We'll also discuss the winning politics of PV in Washington.
