Jeramie Rose is back again on today’s podcast to touch base on the rapid developments we’ve noticed in the solar industry. We go through the logistics and scale commercial solar, the rise of the RSA, and surprising market trends that everyone needs as a frame of reference for their careers going forward.

• Long-term industry success requires diversification of skills and product knowledge, especially as large companies dominate core residential markets.
• The small-to-mid commercial solar segment is an underexploited opportunity with favorable tax credits and financing options available now.
• Prepaid PPAs and PACE financing open solar access to credit-challenged customers, expanding the market significantly.

• Battery-only sales are poised for rapid growth, and solar professionals should familiarize themselves with energy storage technologies and financing.
• The RSA plays a crucial role in professionalizing the solar sales industry, advocating politically, and improving public perception.
• Understanding California-specific regulations, like net metering transitions and non-export systems, is essential for closing deals and maintaining customer satisfaction.
