In this special Remixed edition of the Reimagined Energy podcast, we bring together insights from past guests who are shaping the future of solar energy—at every scale.

From residential rooftops to massive commercial installations, this episode dives into the opportunities, barriers, and innovations driving solar adoption across Canada and beyond. You'll hear from:

➡️ John Sheldon, who breaks down what homeowners and businesses need to know before going solar—including financing, installation timelines, and the importance of transparency.

➡️ Noaa Cohn of InRange Energy, who shares how rethinking landlord-tenant incentives is unlocking solar potential on commercial rooftops, with data centers playing a surprising role in scaling deployment.

➡️ Julia Lindsay, who discusses Nova Scotia’s first-in-Canada Community Solar Program and how it's making solar more accessible for everyone—with no upfront cost and a simple credit system.

➡️ Stephen Mildenberger, a rural homeowner and advocate who took solar into his own hands—literally—with a two-axis tracker and a mission to cut his carbon footprint.

Whether you’re solar-curious or knee-deep in clean energy work, this episode offers a big-picture view of where solar is headed—and how individuals, communities, and companies are making it happen.

Key Takeaways:

☀️ Solar is More Accessible Than Ever – From residential rooftops to Nova Scotia’s community solar program, solar energy is becoming easier to access for individuals, businesses, and communities across Canada.

💬 Education & Transparency Matter – Whether it’s debunking solar myths or explaining installation timelines and incentives, clear communication is key to building public trust and driving adoption.

🔋 Storage & Data Power the Future – Battery storage and smart data use are critical to optimizing solar systems, ensuring efficiency, and keeping the lights on—even when the sun isn’t shining.

🤝 Collaboration Drives Change – The energy transition isn’t a solo mission—it takes government support, industry innovation, and community engagement to make it work for everyone.
