Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thomas Bywater on High-Efficiency Panels, Back Contact Tech & Solar 3.0 Ep 12.
Q: How do panel size, weight, and handling affect installation on commercial projects?
Smaller nine-kilogram or light-weight panels enable faster, safer installation, reduce structural load concerns, and allow prefabrication or multi-panel blocks; however, balance with energy density and durability must be considered for each site.
Thomas Bywater on High-Efficiency Panels, Back Contact Tech & Solar 3.0 Ep 12.
Q: When did ICO start moving toward back-contact and N-type technologies, and what drove that strategic shift?
ICO began pushing back-contact and N-type designs in the early 2010s as the industry outgrew PERC and TopCon, with leadership pursuing higher efficiency and better integration with storage and building systems, while trying to escape the commodification trap in the module market.
Venezuala to Australia: Passion, Grit and Solar Innovation - Andres Rastelli Ep 16.
Q: How did you end up at Clenergy and what drew you to solar?
I knew I wanted to enter renewables and was drawn by the opportunity to work with a strong team; after interning, I joined full-time and stayed because of the people, the culture, and the impact of solar technology.
The Future of Solar Software, AI & Consumer Protection - with Sophie Wright S2E19
Q: What would you say to installers doing their own proposals today?
She argues for accuracy, compliance, and consumer protection, warning against relying on dubious calculations and stressing the need for auditing and standardized practices to protect homeowners and maintain industry credibility.
The Future of Solar Software, AI & Consumer Protection - with Sophie Wright S2E19
