The 30% residential solar credit ends on Jan 1, 2026 but performance still wins. Barry talks with Brian Ghiglia about how REC’s Alpha Pure-RX (HJT, G12, half-cut) squeezes more energy from tight roofs, why hair-thin wiring (no hot-spot solder points) improves longevity, and how installers/homeowners can navigate 2026 with smarter financing and ops.
Episode Highlights
REC tech explained: HJT + G12 (210mm) + half-cut architecture; cooler operation & yield
Degradation: ~0.24%/yr → ~92% output at 25 years (long-tail production matters)
Installer tactics: distributor partnerships, CAC reduction, credit-union loans, prepaid leases, AI in lead-to-install
Homeowner checklist: vet tech, warranties, installer health, and supply-chain exposure
