The Solar Heist, or How I Got into the Solar Business, Part 8: Mrs. Prout

On the next Probably True Solar Stories, Sylvia Prout, the widow
of Richard Prout, visits Mazz and Charlie looking for answers
about her husband's apparent murder. After some intense
questioning and bourbon Irish coffees, Sylvia asks Mazz and
Charlie for a favor that they can't refuse.

True Solar Takeaways


PTO is a common utility solar acronym for Permission to
Operate. It's the final go-ahead from the utility following
inspections and approvals, allowing the solar system to legally
and safely feed solar electricity back into the grid.

Utility solar projects are increasingly facing local
opposition, slowing down the development and construction. Often,
these concerns are due to misinformation about solar project
impacts, as well as concerns about preserving land for
agriculture.  This article from NPR highlights these solar
project challenges.
