The solar industry doesn’t need more hype. It needs truth.
If you manage solar assets, you deserve to know what is really happening with your investments.
After 17 years in the trenches removing, repairing, and repowering aging systems, I am pulling the curtain back through real interviews with the people who have lived this work for real. The builders, the repair crews, the troubleshooters, the operators, the ones who put their lives and their money where their mouth is. These are not theorists. These are the people who made solar what it is.
We get into what owners must understand about system health, risk, repower strategy, and long-term portfolio value. These are the lifecycle realities no one else wants to say out loud.

In this first episode of Solar Repowered, Cesar Barbosa introduces the purpose of the show, who it is meant to serve, and why the solar industry needs real conversations about aging systems. He explains why this podcast exists, why aging portfolios are becoming a growing concern for owners and operators, and why the industry has lacked clarity on what happens after year ten.
This episode is not a technical deep dive. It is a mission statement. Cesar shares his background, his 17 years of field experience, and the gap he has seen across the country. He sets the tone for the entire series and gives listeners a preview of the truth, clarity, and practical insight they can expect from future episodes.
