    First Time for Everything: Wisconsin Debuts, Illinois Goes All In
    2026/09/24
    Milwaukee makes its first appearance on the show with a nearly 7 MW community solar project built to power city buildings instead of individual subscribers. Then Illinois notches another first: PureSky Energy's McLean 1, the state's first community solar farm built entirely for low and moderate income households, with real dollar figures behind it.

    Unfrozen: The $7 Billion Comeback Community Solar Didn't Wait On
    2026/09/22
    A federal judge just ordered the EPA to unfreeze the $7 billion Solar for All program, after barely $53 million of it ever reached grantees. Also this week: a New Jersey property owner and its solar advisor quietly closed out a 2 MW rooftop project that never needed Washington's money to begin with.

    2026/09/17
    The trade group built to give community solar its own voice is folding into the industry's biggest tent: SEIA and the Coalition for Community Solar Access are merging this October. Also this week: a one-year report card with real subscriber savings out of Rockford, Illinois, two familiar developers turning up in new roles, and a financing round that finally put a number on what used to be a punchline.

    Called It: Self-Storage Goes National, Jersey Makes It Permanent
    2026/09/10
    A self-storage giant with over 330 facilities partners with Wunder to bring solar to nine states, cashing in a prediction Ray made back in August. New Jersey turns its dual-use solar pilot into permanent law, no more waiting for a special window. And in Everett, Washington, a utility lets its neighbors name their own 400-kilowatt community solar array.

    2026/09/03
    Reactivate signs the Obama Foundation as an anchor tenant on its Illinois community solar projects, freeing up capacity for LMI households and small businesses at up to 50% off their bills. Then Aligned Climate Capital closes its seventh solar fund, half a billion dollars for community and distributed solar, with Delaware and Illinois projects already in hand. Ray and Della on what it means when institutional capital stops dabbling and starts compounding.
