This Week in Solar: Why Isn’t Solar On Every Commercial Building?

PEA Director of Commercial Programs Lisa Shulock joined Solarize installer Exact Solar’s This Week in Solar podcast to talk about the changing economics of solar energy.


Expect to learn:

  • Why commercial landlords often hesitate to invest in rooftop solar.
  • Why seasoned executives who know how to buy real estate still find solar proposals intimidating and difficult to compare.
  • How changing state regulations in Pennsylvania could transform empty warehouse roofs into local clean power plants.

Quotes from the episode:

“For commercial property owners, procuring solar is something most companies have no experience with… It doesn’t usually reach the top of an executive’s priority list to figure out how to do it because they don’t know where to turn for guidance.” — Lisa Shulock
“80 years from now, I don’t think we’re going to be using fossil fuels any longer… the technologies we’re using now to convert the sun’s energy are going to be ubiquitous and incredibly inexpensive.” — Lisa Shulock
