Description

More than a decade since John Berger founded Sunnova… the company is one of the largest residential solar and storage providers in the country. That would be enough for a lot of people. But success hasn't stopped Berger from pushing the envelope.He recognized early on in his career, from his time at Enron and then the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, that the way we viewed and consumed energy was broken. He didn't necessarily know the answer then… but knew he would do whatever he could to fix it.From Sunnova's push to create a micro-utility in California, to the aggregation of tens of thousands of residential solar and battery systems to compete with the monopolistic utility model, the company, and Berger, have set out to upend the status quo.In Episode 43 of the Factor This, Berger gives his unvarnished take on decarbonization and taking on Goliath.That's all next on Factor This!We're just a few weeks out from the GridTECH Connect Forum being held in Newport Rhode, Island Oct. 23-25.
