Episode 84 : Solar Can Be Built 4X Faster? Here’s How
from The Clean Energy Edge · host russbp
The biggest challenge in solar today isn’t demand—it’s speed. Projects are taking too long to deploy, and that’s becoming a major bottleneck as electricity demand continues to rise from AI, data centers, electrification, and more. So what if there was a way to build solar faster… without sacrificing quality? In this episode of The Clean Energy Edge Podcast, Russ Bates sits down with David Griffin, CEO of 5B, to break down how their modular solar technology is changing the way projects are deployed. We cover: -Why traditional solar construction is too slow -How 5B’s Maverick system enables rapid deployment -The impact on labor, cost, and scalability -Why speed is becoming one of the most important factors in energy This is a practical, real-world conversation about how we scale clean energy faster.
