We break down off-grid and hybrid solar from real-world experience—Caribbean systems, unreliable grids, battery realities, and what actually works beyond theory. If you’re serious about energy independence, this episode is for you. 🎧⚡
A new episode is live. In this episode, Alexis Lewis of Wadadli Solar LLC breaks down what real experience actually means in construction and solar why it’s built through exposure, not titles, and how early trade education and site work shape true competence in the built environment.
Spreadsheets don’t tell the whole story. In this episode, I break down why real-world roof conditions, access, structure, and operations often derail “perfect” solar models and how smarter assessments protect owners and EPCs from bad decisions.
Most commercial roofs sit idle for decades unmeasured, undervalued, and ignored.
In this episode, I break down how to evaluate commercial roofs for real solar revenue, using asset-level math, lifecycle risk, and hard filters that kill bad projects early.
This isn’t solar hype. It’s rooftop asset strategy.
If you own, operate, or manage buildings, this one’s for you.

🎙 New Episode: Solar Is Energy Not a Tax Strategy
Solar is too often treated as a financial product instead of critical energy infrastructure. In this episode, I break down what happens after the install—when tax credits are gone, warranties expire, and performance quietly drifts. Real-world NYC inspection insight on risk, maintenance, and long-term value.

New episode is live: Second-Life Solar Powering Ghana’s Missing Middle.
We examine the gap between utility-scale power and small off-grid systems, and how second-life solar can responsibly serve clinics, farms, and small businesses. No hype, no charity framing just engineering reality, system integrity, and what actually works on the ground.

We’re unpacking why leasing AI is a losing strategy and what it really takes to build, own, and control your own AI stack.
From vendor lock-in and data risk to open-source models and local infrastructure, this episode is about shifting from AI consumer to AI operator.
If control, privacy, and long-term resilience matter to you, this one’s for you.

Solar systems don’t usually fail suddenly they drift. In this episode of The Deep Dive, we break down Solar Delta Analysis and how it reveals hidden performance losses long before alarms go off.
If “the system is online” is your only metric, this one’s for you.

A frozen solar inverter isn’t always a simple reset. In this episode, I explain what a true hard reset is, when it actually works, and when it’s just hiding deeper issues like comms faults or failing hardware. Learn proper shutdown sequencing, common mistakes, and when it’s time to escalate instead of cycling power again.
