I used to work in the solar industry, so it’s something that is close to my heart. I got into the commercial and industrial solar industry (C&I) in 2015. At that time, Zimbabwe was going
“On the transportation side, we’ve been burning stuff and burning stuff and burning stuff in order to push large, heavy vehicles forward.”
As the majority of the world’s vehicle fleet is still ICE vehicles, people burning stuff to move from A to B includes companies involved in the clean energy sector, including those in the solar business. I worked in business development, sales, as well as in technical operations at my old job in East and Southern Africa in the solar sector. In all those roles, one does a lot of driving or taking Uber rides all over the city and country.
Sunrun has started rolling these F150s across the country and has a goal of transitioning half of its fleet to electric or hybrid by the end of 2025. This is all very exciting to me especially since I can relate to it having worked in the solar industry. There is a whole lot of driving in this industry to visit customers on sales visits, installation visits, as well as followup visits for general operations and maintenance issues.
Apart from decreasing their transportation emissions, solar companies can partner with EV companies just as Sunrun and Ford have done in several areas across the EV and solar value chain. As the penetration of renewables such as solar continues to grow, we will get more and more people charging on sunshine, unlocking efficiencies, and reducing their electricity bills for their homes as well as their “fuel” bills for their vehicles.
