Photovoltaics

[upbeat music] Hey everyone, it's time again to recap the latest news from the solar PV industry compiled by the American Solar Energy Society.

I'm Jay Warmke with SolarPVTraining.com, and this is what's happening in the wonderful world of solar for the week of October 4th.

A permitting reform bill introduced in the US Senate last week would, in most cases, prevent the revocation or suspension of previously issued federal permits for energy projects and strengthen the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC's, authority to cite transmission lines.

The bill, named the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, deals with energy system permitting, power grid and transmission expansion, uh, and data center cost allocations.

Tesla's proposed $10.1 billion solar cell and manufacturing facility in Texas has cleared a major regulatory hurdle following a unanimous vote by a Houston-area school board.

The Board of Trustees for the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District voted 7-0 to approve a property tax incentive agreement on the project.

... markets, I would say.

So if somebody wants to get experience, can they still go onto the GRID Alternatives website and sign up and get in a class and get on a roof and install some safe PV systems and not fall off the roof? [laughs]

Yes.

Yes, that is, and we've been very fortunate over the years that people have not fallen off the roof.

... within our organization.

Uh-huh.

You know, and I think the book that you wrote, the little manual, the PV manual-

Yeah, Solar Photovoltaic Basics.
