Driving Home the Need for Residential Solar

This week on the podcast we talk about Jackie’s recent op-ed “Blackouts Could Drive a Return to Home Solar” with our guests Gursh Bal and Kai Fahrion, who are the Co-CEO’s of Zeno, a residential home solar solutions provider. Jackie’s op-ed argues that, while reducing power bills has been the historical reason for installing rooftop solar, the biggest push in the future will come from the increasing risk of power outages due to extreme weather. Electric vehicles and new financing options are other factors that are reducing the barriers to adoption. Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Gursh and Kai:  What is the typical size, cost and payback on a home solar installation?  How can the Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck’s bidirectional feature increase home energy security?   Could a Canadian home go off-grid with these solutions? What is the outlook for residential solar? What are the common concerns when people consider home solar?Other content referenced in this week’s podcast:Zeno’s documentary on Peter’s home solar installationCheck out Zeno’s website: www.livezeno.com  Please review the ARC Energy Institute disclaimer.
