CEA Founder and CEO, Andy Klump, sits down again with Nico Johnson from Suncast to discuss his life, from personal and business - how he built Clean Energy Associates from the beginning, what strategies and methodologies allowed him to grow and scale the business, and what setbacks he has had to work to overcome.

Nico and Andy also discuss solar supply trends such as:

  • the current glass shortage

  • price hikes for EVA

  • the larger wafer sizes leading to larger modules

  • the rising risk of severe weather patterns like hail on solar modules

  • the upcoming forced labor legislation making its way through the U.S. Congress,

They also discuss and risks to the solar supply chain, what changes the Biden administration will bring to the solar industry, and Andy’s predications for the solar and energy storage industry moving forward.
