How do we unlock the final frontier of lowest-cost solar and deploying it at scale? The U.S.-India nexus is emerging as one of the most pivotal relationships in the fight against climate change. As the solar industry faces steep challenges, from navigating the cyclical nature of renewables to integrating advanced technologies and addressing workforce shortages, what can we learn from others who’ve successfully evaluated, engineered and deployed gigawatts of solar and hydrogen? Removing the industry’s infrastructure obstacles is critical to accelerating deployment and driving the global energy transition.
Daniel Dus, CEO and founder of Cleantech Industry Resources (CIR), brings nearly two decades of experience in engineering, construction, and finance to bear in a practical discussion on what can be learned from over 3000 projects reviewed. Daniel has helped reduce costs in global markets and led efforts to integrate advanced software tools into solar development at giga-watt scale. His expertise provides a practical roadmap for overcoming the industry’s toughest challenges, from optimizing resource allocation to fostering global collaboration. He has executed some of the largest projects in both solar and hydrogen, and has first-hand experience helping provide the one resource that seems most scarce as we scale - bandwidth.
Expect to Learn:
- How to mitigate "lumpy" market cycles in solar project development.
- Why the U.S.-India nexus could transform global solar deployment.
- Ways to use AI and software to reduce project timelines and costs.
- How hydrogen is shaping the future of renewable energy integration.
- Strategies for navigating workforce shortages and scaling efficiently.
