046: Pam Cargill, Chaos Analyst

In this episode we finally dive into solar energy with Pam Cargill, Principal at Chaolysti consulting and a board member of SEIA, the Solar Energy Industries Association. Our conversation begins with a look at the type of solar consulting work Chaolysti does, and continues with SEIA's recent Lobby Day on Capitol Hill; a discussion about the Suniva trade petition, its potential impact on the domestic solar industry, and how it will proceed; how the politics of solar have changed over the years; how utilities are addressing the growth in distributed generation and rooftop solar; some of the legislative approaches California is taking; and closes with Pam's prediction about the future of solar over the next ten years. Resources mentioned in this episode include:  Pam's interview on Barry Cinnamon's podcast The Energy Show SEIA's article about expected solar industry job loss if the Suniva trade petition is upheld North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center's "50 States of Solar" 1st Quarter 2017 Report Grid Geeks podcast Episode 3: Western Markets and Regionalization: Why Should We Care?
