Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jack West, Inventor, Guitarist, Zep, Ojjo and Steel Pulse
Q: What happened with the relationship with Elon Musk at Tesla?
There was a significant internal disagreement over the direction of the Solar Roof project. The host asked me to stop the other initiatives in favor of the roof, which I believed wasn't the best approach, leading to my departure from the project.
Jack West, Inventor, Guitarist, Zep, Ojjo and Steel Pulse
Q: How did Zep Groove change the solar module manufacturing process?
The groove-based Zep Groove system allowed PV manufacturers to change the frame and interlock components in a way that vastly sped up installation, with licensing that spread broadly among manufacturers and ultimately contributed to a rapid market uptake when major integrators adopted it.
What's Happening Inside the Electronics with Greg Smith
Q: Why is the MPPT and voltage management important, and how do optimizers interact with inverters?
Optimizers adjust the module-level voltage to approach the maximum power point under varying environmental conditions, while the inverter handles broader AC conversion; together they improve overall energy capture without creating unrealistic claims about extra energy, since they recover energy that would otherwise be lost.
What's Happening Inside the Electronics with Greg Smith
Q: What exactly is being inside the DC-DC converter and how do these devices work at a high level?
The DC-DC converter simply rearranges the DC from the array, smoothing and regulating it, with the core being software-driven optimization rather than dramatic hardware changes; the devices mainly differ by how they handle the software and control strategy
Polygraph Tests for Solar Salespeople with Energy Sage’s Erik Holvic at Intersolar
Q: So now that you're in charge of EnergySage's residential solar direction, what is your first plan of action?
Focus on properly selling and educating homeowners about what solar means for their homes, and reform the sales process to be more transparent and consumer-friendly rather than relying on aggressive, misleading sales tactics.
