How to charge an EV with PV surplus energy

This webinar was a presentation of CESA’s Sustainable Solar Education Project. This project, funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative, is helping state and municipal officials ensure distributed solar electricity is equitable and consumer friendly. The project assists states and municipalities to improve consumer information, implement consumer protection measures, and find ways to make solar more accessible to low- and moderate-income households. The project is developing program guides, webinars, online course material, and in-person training for government officials.

If you’re responsible for buying energy for your organization, you’ve probably considered commercial solar, and you’ve probably received dozens of calls and emails from solar brokers, developers, and installers. But how do you know which solar option is best for your organization, or who to trust with your solar project? Commercial solar can be nuanced and complex – but it doesn’t have to be. In this 30-minute webinar, Usource’s Consulting Director of Renewable Energy, Steve Birndorf discusses the variety of commercial solar options available today, how to spot and avoid potential pitfalls, and how one large organization was able to clear hurdles, cut through the confusion and develop a successful and financially rewarding commercial solar plan. Plus, Steve answers questions from webinar attendees.

They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and soon that could include solar energy. With the nation’s fastest-growing population driving demand, Texas has seen a huge increase in solar installations in recent years. Join us for a panel discussion with three solar leaders in Texas - Bret Biggart (CEO, Freedom Solar Power), Manny Aponte (Texas Market Development Manager, Titan Solar Power), and Mohammed Abdalla (Founder & CEO, Good Faith Energy) - as we explore what factors have influenced solar contractors in the state, lessons other states can learn from their example, and what lies ahead for the future of Texan solar power.

Distributed energy is an increasingly valuable player for any sustainable company that has a focus on integrating environmental and economic considerations into every aspect of the business, from supply chain management to workforce development to energy, to redefine business as usual.
