  • 443. The All-in-One Home Energy Hub: Solar, Storage, Fast V2G, Charging, and Backup
    2026/08/26

    This is the Home Energy Hub of the future!

    Cameron Shirt of Tribe Solar has just installed a home energy battery that has a solar inverter, V2G EV, home backup, DC fast EV charging and much more.

    This is the future of the home energy system that allows you to save your solar energy for use at night, export to the grid when it makes sense, and save a lot or perhaps even profit from home energy production.

    But that's not all, it also a Vehicle to Anything (V2X) technology allowing you to draw energy from your EV to the home or grid. AND it is also a DC EV charger that charges at 25 kW per hour, about three times the speed of regular home Level II chargers.

    This project also pioneered the use of cargo drones to install the 17.5-kilowatt solar system on the roof of Spencer Young's home.

    2026/08/14

    Kyle Newman practically grew up with a hammer in his handand a deep love for nature.

    His dad taught him why energy-efficient homes matter.

    When Kyle started building his own place and homes forothers, he found it tough to meet strict standards like Passive House on atight budget. So he embraced the “Pretty Good House” idea from green buildingexpert Martin Holladay.

    Before long, he naturally figured out the mostbudget-friendly way to build homes that meet the CHBA Net Zero Ready Homelabel.

    This is the story of a dedicated net zero pioneer who nowbuilds every Stratton Home to at least net zero ready standards in Ontario’slovely Cottage Country.

    ❤️ Consider liking and sharing this story to bring us ever closer to the day when all homes are sustainability built, climate resilient and future proof.

  • 440. AUDIO BLOG - A Data Geek Goes on Tour to Find Out What $330 Billion in Clean Energy Investment Looks Like
    2026/07/28

    Jeremy Moorhouse is a data geek. He's been crunching the numbers on clean energy for more than a decade for organizations like the Pembina Institute, Clean Energy Canada and the International Energy Agency.

    He knows there's been $330 billion in clean energy investment in Canada over the last decade, but he wanted to see what this looks like on the ground.

    So he hopped into his Chevy Equinox EV and headed out on a cross-country tour of Canada to see 50 projects.

    His goal: bring back interviews, stories and photos of the people and projects and build a picture of the energy transition in Canada.
