Welcome back, Solar Warrior.
This is Tactical Tuesday, an episode with practical advice to help you along in your career in the clean energy industry.
Today’s episode is part of our exclusive content, but why am I sharing it here on the public SunCast feed? Well, because I want to help you. Many people ask me about how to get into the solar industry and where are the jobs. It happens that one of my past guests and good buddies from the podcast has actually written a book on this very topic. In fact, we talked about the book in his interview back in the summer of 2020.
When I started developing curriculum for our Mission-Minded Clean Energy Career program last fall, I knew that I was going to incorporate Eric Pasi’s book: Clean Wave into the conversation to help our clients.
What you're about to hear is a conversation between Eric and me rolling out an overview of the clean energy economy where we draw inspiration not just from his book, but from both our decades-long careers in building solar companies and helping others do the same.
Today's content specifically is actually part of our exclusive coaching program, but this is an abbreviated version, intentionally. So if you'd like to hear all of the content and access the full episode, which is actually a video interview, then you have two options:
In 2007, Eric Pasi joined IPS, a company with 15 years of renewable energy experience at that time. Since then, he’s helped to accelerate significant solar power development in Minnesota and the upper Midwest. Pasi has developed unique financing programs, won competitive opportunities, and jump-started the company's successful Community Solar Gardens program.
Taking on the Chief Development Officer role in 2016, Pasi has helped the company grow annual gross revenues by more than tenfold. Recent notable projects include the Green Line Solar Corridor, 13 installations for Mounds View School District, and the Eichten's Community Solar Garden.
