![]() ![]() Currently, in addition to other investment ventures, Glenn heads Humless as CEO, pioneering reliable power systems based on clean energy sources. With a strong background in logistics and operations, he has helped launch multiple 8-figure companies and has been instrumental in the increase of tens of millions of dollars in sales for many more. Glenn Jakins is a serial entrepreneur with a multi-decade track record of taking creative ideas and turning them into successful products that change lives. As we move into a new year, let us all look forward to strong collaborations that lead to the development of new technologies and strengthen the case for solar. ![]() Solar energy is versatile, universally available, increasingly affordable, clean and sustainable. We need a strong solar power market to meet the rapidly increasing demand for electricity across the globe. The volume of forklifts, construction equipment and other machines needing new storage technologies should help to expedite development and bring costs down. We’re seeing conventional equipment that has used lead-acid batteries in the past move toward more modern methods like lithium. Solar is not the only industry focused on efficient storage. New technologies that have been in development for years are beginning to emerge, and many more contenders will soon enter the arena. ![]() Solid state storage will likely also become more mainstream. Huge advances have been made in solar energy storage, and with so much focus currently on this area, there are bound to be more breakthroughs soon.Įxpect to see an evolution of chemical storage, with new ideas and types taking over the marketplace. The future of solar is undoubtedly in systems that are viable regardless of weather or time of day. Streamlined solutions can also help hesitant customers see the value in solar power. This will almost assuredly lead to smarter, more robust solutions to the problem of storing solar power for long-term use.Īs it has in other industries that have moved toward a unified commerce model, merging all aspects of solar installation into a single business will bring costs down and make the process simpler for consumers. This is good news for the field as a whole, because it means more dollars are being invested into research and development of storage. Instead of offering only panel and inverters, more and more companies offer the storage that goes with it. As the world becomes more focused on sustainable energy sources and reducing carbon emissions, the use of distributed energy resources (DERs) and microgrids has become increasingly widespread. The major players in the solar industry know this and are changing their business models to reflect that. The largest obstacle to the universal adoption of solar power is reliable, affordable storage solutions. ![]()
