With RE+ now in our rearview mirror (and my feet finally recovering!), get ready for a big finish to 2023. This year is expected to be the biggest ever for solar. No doubt 2024 is sure to keep pace. Now is the time to double down on your clean energy marketing efforts — and get your marketing plan in place for next year.
Solar energy powers 4 percent of the world’s electricity, according to The International Energy Agency — the result of record-breaking growth in clean energy over the last 20-plus years. That’s the good news. At the same time, 8 million metric tons of solar panels are nearing the end of their (25-30 year) life expectancy and could be headed to landfills by 2030. Not so good.
Preparing for this onslaught of decommissioned solar panels requires us to advance the solar panel recycling process. It’s a critical step to fortify the solar industry’s effectiveness and reputation as a sustainable source of clean energy.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will touch nearly every sector of clean energy. This Q&A with Craig Lawrence of Energy Transition Ventures provides insight into how the IRA could affect investment strategies for clean energy and climate tech.
Solar energy companies have been fighting the good fight on solar policy for so long that when news broke that the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) would include $369 billion (with a B) for climate and energy, it seemed almost too good to be true.

For those of us involved in marketing the solutions of that transition, our jobs just went from challenging…to critical. How can you make your marketing efforts more effective when the planet’s clock is so relentlessly ticking?
Most people believe climate change is real. But they don’t know what to do about it. Climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe shares her perspective on why talking about climate is the first step.
New Year’s resolutions on climate action are too quaint for where we stand today: fighting an existential battle that is already well underway. The 2021 United Nations Report on Climate Change repeated the clarion call from its last report with even greater urgency: We are rapidly running out of time to limit global warming beyond
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing is having a watershed year, and for the solar industry, this momentum is great news. But solar companies may need to up the ante on their own sustainability efforts.
Shining the best light on your renewable energy projects is imperative when trying to convey an effective marketing message.
