Solar scaled first to become king in residential smart energy. But as other residential DER tech has advanced -- EVs, batteries, smart panels, and so forth -- has solar been dethroned as the anchor product in this space? We’ll walk with Arch Rao, the CEO of Span , about the biggest technological changes underway in home energy. How should we sell and manage distributed energy resources?

In normal times, selling solar is a relatively old-school process. Branded vans cruise neighborhoods, unloading employees who knock on dozens of doors. When they’re lucky enough to find a sympathetic ear, many sellers step into a customer’s home, ready to sign the contract right then and there. Though the utility of rooftop solar panels is more complex to explain than, say, encyclopedias or a fancy set of knives, the general technique for selling them has been used for over a century

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
