113. 'Reaching New Heights With Community Solar' With Jason Spreyer, EVP At Summit Ridge Energy

As solar energy technology progresses, the goals our utility and government leaders are setting on how much renewable energy can and should enter the grid is ever increasing. However, one of the key challenges that continues to plague the world of solar energy is the inequitable distribution of installations and the appropriate benefits. While the technology is more affordable than ever before and provides reliable payback periods of under a decade, the high upfront costs still block out certain participants. The past few years, however, have seen an encouraging growth in a solution to these gaps in solar energy installations: community solar. By taking solar panels off of the customers' rooftops themselves and allowing them to buy in for a smaller piece of the pie, community solar is indeed allowing the clean energy transition to reach new heights. Summit Ridge Energy is a company involved deeply in this area, as a developer, installer, and manager of major solar plants across the United States and the leading owner-operator of community solar across the country. Today's guest to the Power Perspectives Podcast is Jason Spreyer, Summit Ridge Energy's Executive Vice President of Business Development and ESS General Manager. With this inside view of the recent developments in community solar, Jason shares with podcast host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester what all the hype is about and why projects on the ground are living up to that excitement.
