Welcome to another edition of Solar Speaks, Solar Power World’s podcast series that gives you the opportunity to hear from the industry’s biggest newsmakers — in their own words.
Today we’re excited to bring you an interview with the proprietor of one of our favorite clean energy blogs, CleanTechnica. Zach Shahan is director/editor of CleanTechnica, and you can also read his work at PlanetSave, where he is also the director/editor.
Listen and let us know what you think. We’re always here anyway.

Thank again, Frank! Was a pleasure and an honor.
One thing I realized after the interview is that I stated something a little unclearly in there (at least one thing). German solar electricity production at noon has passed the 20% mark (getting up to at least 25% some days: http://cleantechnica.com/2012/03/22/german-solar-mission-too-well-accomplished-from-perspective-of-fossilnuclear-lobby-reader-comment/). It’s still a ways off from 20% of total annual electricity production. 😀
(Renewable energy production as a whole, however, is far above 20% — was around 47% in the month of April — and just wind and solar together have gone over 20%: http://cleantechnica.com/2012/04/02/april-1st-in-germany-happy-birthday-renewable-energy-sources-act/)
Hope that’s all clear now. 😀
