As our Secretary of Energy says, deploy deploy deploy! It\u2019s incredible to see how hard we\u2019re pushing to modernize the grid, but, we also must maintain and ensure solar projects are delivering on every kilowatt hour that we promised. Today\u2019s guest has been delivering on those promises for nearly two decades. 

Josh Fraughton, a renewable energy veteran with nearly two decades of experience in the solar industry, has seen firsthand the increasing need for a stable supply chain for solar O&M. So Josh collaborated with RNWBL at the founding of R7 Supply, a venture so immediately successful that it scaled to meet to start filling the gaps within 18 months and continues strong today under RNWBL.

Today, he shares his entrepreneurial journey with us. 

Expect to learn:

• Josh\u2019s story of going from boots-on-the-roof as an installer to orchestrating O&M and supply chain operations for industry giants.
• A business idea to address a need in the solar industry that Nico and Josh both believe will be huge
• Josh\u2019s plan to tackle obsolescence in solar components and ensure that systems remain efficient and viable over time.
• How well-intentioned entrepreneurs are creating their own inflation in the solar industry. 

Don't miss out \u2013 press play to learn more about optimizing the O&M side of the solar industry and Josh\u2019s extensive experience solving the industry\u2019s problems.
