Joe McCabe American Solar Energy Society (ASES) Fellow, historical figure and a lot more!

Sean White‘s Solar and Energy Storage Podcast

Joe McCabe has been in the solar industry since before there was a solar industry. In this podcast we talk about many things. Here is a list of topics: ASES Fellow American Solar Energy Society www.ASES.org International Solar Energy Society www.ISES.org MREA = Midwest Renewable Energy Association SMUD = Sacramento Municipal Utility District PVUSA Davis California PV Policy SAM software PV Reliability Workshop Nerdfest Golden Colorado SANDIA Community Solar Gardens Bifacial Solar Vertical Bifacial produces more than tilted south no matter what the direction Higher latitude better for vertical bifacial Vertical bifacial requires smaller wires because of lower Isc Clipping Hanging vertical bifacial to swing in the wind. North facing PV for used PV PV module size increasing PV efficiency not important; LCOE (levelized cost of electricity) is important.
