Welcome back and Happy New Year, Solar Warrior!
If you\\u2019re in the solar or energy storage industry, then today\\u2019s guest will be no stranger to you. I hope I do justice to making this useful and interesting, as she\\u2019s shared most of her thoughts and plans with us in a variety of forums.
Abigail Ross Hopper became the first female President and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) in January 2017 just as the Obama-era solar boom was being handed off to the Trump administration. Abby has been dubbed the most important woman in solar by the media, and it\\u2019s true she carries an immensely important role.
Before joining SEIA, Abby was the Director of the Department of Interior\'s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, where she led the agency that oversaw the leasing and development of all offshore energy, from oil and natural gas to offshore wind.
