Part 6, The Solar Heist, or How I Got into the Solar Business: Trust

On the next Probably True Solar Stories, we end our Solar Noir
season where we began. We continue the ongoing story of "The
Solar Heist, or How I Got Into the Solar Business." In this next
chapter, it’s all about Trust. Charlie finally comes clean about
who he is and what his goals are. But will Mazz help? Or will he
run? Or worse.

You can also listen to all of the above in one episode.

True Solar Takeaways in Part 6


Yes, the Italian mafia was caught laundering $1.7 Billion
through solar and wind projects.

 Yes, there is a US  intelligence agency called the
Department of Energy Office of Intelligence and
Counterintelligence.

A Feed-In-Tariff or "FIT" is a government solar incentive
that was popularized in Europe. It paid solar owners a certain
amount for every kilowatt-hour generated for a set number of
years. So many people signed up for the European programs that
the programs quickly ran out of money, causing governments to
significantly cut down the price per kilowatt-hour.  There
are only a few active FITs in the U.S. today.
