Before we can live in a renewable future, we will have to build and test the technology that will get us there. We have developed quite impressive innovation where we can pull power quite literally out of thin air, but once we have all this energy from the wind and sun, where do we store it? To help us answer those questions, along with giving us a glimpse into the future about economically storing our power and using energy efficiently, we welcome Seth Mansur, Regional Sales Manager of Genie Solar Energy, and Peter O’Brien, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing at NH Research. Seth and Peter talk to host Derek Burrows about the future of electric cars replacing fossil fuel, vampire energy, and the rigorous test that goes into batteries and solar panels.  Learn More About: Seth shares how his time in Iraq serving for the Marines sparked his interest in creating a sustainable way to use solar-powered energy.The biggest challenge is finding a way to store our power economically. How does Seth see this adapting in the future?What is Vampire Energy, and why is it important to pay attention to how much energy our equipment uses when it’s not on?Having the data to know what’s going on in your facility and what’s causing a vampire energy load is the first step for people to really be able to take control and ownership of your energy.Peter discusses how battery innovation and testing are improving, and that the future of electric vehicles may be here even sooner than we think.Better batteries are going to require a lot of testing. How does the Evie battery emulate real-world conditions in its testing process?What is abuse testing?Flash Testing is one of the technologies used by solar panel manufacturers.

087: The Democratization of Energy - Understanding your power bill, energy regulation, and the shift to decentralized clean energy with Seth Mansur

This week features an additional episode tackling the Texas power grid. I chat with Seth Mansur of  RER Energy Group to get a better understanding of what deregulation means for a power grid, why some Texans are now receiving insanely high energy bills, and what role infrastructure and politics play in the larger picture.     Get in touch with Seth at smansur@rerenergygroup.com or check out rerenergygroup.com.     This is the first episode I've done of this kind, addressing a current climate event, and I hope to be addressing more just like this as climate events occur.     Lastly, if you love ASM then mark your calendars for our very first live online event. M.A.S.S. Eco Live will take place April 30-May 2, 2021, and will feature 3 days of panel discussions, keynote speakers, and workshops! To attend, sponsor, apply to be a panelist, or even to give us a hand with the event please head on over to http://MassEcoLive.com. Hope to see you there.
