Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FEOC, ITC Phase-Out, and Storage: InterSolar 2026 Dispatch #340
Q: What is going on in the solar industry that's on everybody's minds?
The dominant themes are FEOC compliance, the ITC phase-out, and the growing importance of storage as a core product, along with a push toward domestic manufacturing and labor considerations shaping project pipelines and EPC decisions.
Scattered Solar Monitoring Is Costing You Thousands #338
Q: But Hervé, give us a little background on yourself. Why did you get into the solar industry? And what exactly is Sunvoy?
I started in the solar industry by building the first Belgium solar car, I'm an engineer by trade, then I moved to the US and started Ipsum Solar. Sunvoy grew out of solving data silo problems for my own solar company, delivering a single dashboard to see all assets and fleet-wide information, which then expanded to help other installers.
Why the Middle Market Is Storage's Biggest Battleground
Q: What should EPCs focus on in 2026 for success in storage?
Identify local storage sweet spots, align with tariffs and policy, source best-in-class equipment, and lean on manufacturers' engineering support to build strong, deployable offerings.
Why the Middle Market Is Storage's Biggest Battleground
Q: What makes the middle market unique for EPCs and developers?
The middle market remains vibrant because it's not easily standardized by large players; it requires a full suite of support from analytics to commissioning, making partnerships with proven suppliers crucial.
Why the Middle Market Is Storage's Biggest Battleground
Q: What is the role of AI in project economics and deployment?
AI is still early but is driving demand because mega-capital is pouring money into it, creating opportunities to deploy storage and solar for large data-center pipelines, while still requiring real-world project execution.
