What does the future hold for renewable energy in 2025? In our latest 360° video, Dale and I dive into some bold predictions that could reshape the entire industry. From shifting business models and cutting-edge technology to groundbreaking safety innovations, this episode is packed with insights for anyone interested in where clean energy is headed.
Grab your favorite seat, put on your VR headset, and look around as we explore how key players like Tesla, Enphase, and SolarEdge could shape the renewable landscape in the coming year. Plus, we touch on some unexpected developments, including bi-directional EV charging and a unique fire suppression solution for home battery systems!
Tesla, Enphase, and SolarEdge: What’s Their Next Move?
We start off with a look at the big names in the industry—Tesla, Enphase, and SolarEdge—and what 2025 might have in store for their flagship products. With the Tesla Powerwall dominating the home energy storage market, the question is: Can they maintain their edge as other players step up their game?
Dale offers his thoughts on how these companies will respond to increasing competition and what innovations could set them apart in a rapidly evolving market. Will we see new partnerships, enhanced storage capacity, or a push for better grid independence? Watch the video to see Dale’s take on these and other possibilities.
The Future of Solar Financing: Are Loans on the Way Out?
One of the hottest topics we discuss is the potential shift in how solar projects are financed. With rising interest rates and changing market dynamics, could solar loans become a thing of the past? Dale and I speculate on the rise of alternative financing models like solar leases and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
These models could make solar more accessible by reducing upfront costs and simplifying long-term agreements. But what does this mean for homeowners? We explore the pros and cons and what to expect if PPAs and leases start to become the new industry standard.
Bi-Directional EV Charging: More Than Just a Car Battery
Another exciting trend we’re watching closely is the rise of bi-directional EV charging. As electric vehicles become more integrated into the energy grid, their ability to both charge and discharge energy opens up a world of possibilities. Imagine using your car battery as an emergency backup for your home, or even feeding energy back into the grid during peak demand.
We talk about the potential for bi-directional EV charging to revolutionize energy storage, its implications for the traditional battery market, and the role manufacturers will play in making this technology a reality.
Fire Suppression Shields: A New Safety Standard?
Battery safety is always a top concern, and Dale and Amy have a unique concept that could set a new standard: a fire suppression shield for home battery systems. Inspired by in depth conversations, this idea envisions a shield that could automatically activate in the event of a battery malfunction, protecting homes from fire damage and giving homeowners peace of mind.
In the video, we discuss how this concept could be implemented and the potential collaboration needed from battery manufacturers to make it a viable option. As safety becomes a bigger focus in the energy storage industry, innovations like this could be the key to building trust and confidence in home battery systems.
What’s Next for Franklin Whole Home Battery?
In this episode, we also delve into the future of Franklin whole home batteries. Could we see Franklin being absorbed by one of the industry giants? Dale shares his thoughts on what consolidation in the battery market could mean for homeowners and businesses, and how it could influence product development, pricing, and availability.
If you’re considering a whole home battery system, understanding where the industry is headed will help you make a more informed decision. From potential acquisitions to product enhancements, there’s a lot to keep an eye on.
Beyond Batteries: Smart Homes, Farming, and More!
We didn’t stop at energy storage! We also touch on how renewable technology could influence home automation systems and even sustainable farming practices. As the clean energy movement expands, integrating these technologies could lead to smarter, greener homes and businesses, making energy management more efficient and sustainable.
