The best question I got at RE+ last week: "so what are you still doing at Anza?" 🤔 I thought for a moment, and it's pretty obvious. The people! It's just really fun to come to work (remotely) every day alongside people who are intellectually curious, collaborative, and passionate about our mission to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy. That spirit may be captured best in our Solutions Engineer role. SEs at Anza leverage their solar and storage technology experience every day, working with customers and potential customers to find new ways to make sense of the ever-changing landscape of product options. Our Solutions Engineers help developers make decisions like whether to invest in that marginal project that *might* pencil, with the right design and product choices. Whether to invest (and how) in a domestic content strategy. Whether one product is optimal across all your projects, or if you should optimize technology selection on every project. Sound like you, or someone that you've worked with? Let me know! https://lnkd.in/egU_xx7B

How do you explain clean energy to a 7-year-old? This morning I got to find out, when I spoke to a 1st grade class about solar energy (and clean energy more broadly). This really forced me to think about the topic in a back-to-basics kind of way, especially for the Q&A portion when the students peppered me with all flavors of questions, including: 🔌 How do you get the power from the solar panels into the homes and appliances? ❓ Why did I pick my job? 🕛 What time do I have to go to work every day? 🛠 Do I (personally) make the panels? 🏠 How many solar panels go on each building? ⚡ Why can we make electricity out of water (hydropower) but we can’t let electricity touch water? If you’re interested in seeing the presentation I created for this let me know and I’d be happy to share the deck. ⬇ I've also included the image that I ended up using to give a high-level explanation of how solar power works (source: Time for Kids magazine). Finally, this experience renewed my appreciation for our teachers. Managing a class of 7-year-olds is no easy task! #solareducators #cleanenergy #solarenergy

What inspired me to become a solar engineer? ✏️ My journey to becoming a solar engineer has been profoundly influenced by a convergence of my extensive experience in the tech industry and a fervent commitment to sustainable innovation. Having witnessed the transformative power of technology in various sectors, the realization dawned that a similar paradigm shift was essential in the realm of energy. The prospect of leveraging my tech expertise to contribute to sustainable solutions became a compelling motivation. Recognizing the pivotal role that solar energy plays in reshaping the future of power generation, I was drawn to the idea of applying my technological acumen to advance the field of solar engineering. The dynamic nature of both the tech and solar industries presented an exciting synergy, where technological advancements could be harnessed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of solar systems. This alignment of passion and professional expertise inspired the pursuit of a career as a solar engineer. Furthermore, the parallels between the relentless innovation in the tech industry and the burgeoning possibilities in solar engineering sparked a genuine excitement. The desire to be at the forefront of a burgeoning sector, driving innovation and sustainability hand in hand, propelled my commitment to this meaningful career transition. In essence, my journey to become a solar engineer is an amalgamation of a tech-driven perspective, a passion for sustainable solutions, and a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of merging technology with renewable energy. 🌐🌞✨

Space-based solar power has the potential to revolutionise the future of energy, but how likely is it that this technology will actually become a reality? In the latest installment of our Frontiers series with @WIRED Consulting, we explore the concept of collecting solar energy in space and beaming that power to earth - something that for the first time may now be technically and economically feasible.
