In this episode of The Energy Show with Barry Cinnamon, Barry speaks with Tom McCalmont, CEO of McCalmont Engineering and co-founder of Paired Power, an innovative microgrid and EV charging company.

Together, they break down how the elimination of the 30% residential solar tax credit and restrictions on commercial projects will reshape solar — and why smart companies must adapt now to survive in 2026 and beyond.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why microgrids are key to reliability and resilience

  • How data centers and load growth will drive solar demand

  • Why level 2 chargers and solar-powered microgrids are the real solution

  • Diversifying into HVAC, storage, and service

  • What to do when revenue drops 30% overnight

  • Why the future is still bright for solar and storage
