Recorded live at the Solar Cutters networking event in Sydney before Smart Energy Conference, this episode is absolute chaos from the very start. Pat can’t hear the intro music, Jo accidentally jumps on the mic and does the opening intro herself, and Lauren spends half the episode disappearing to chase down her lost luggage.

What follows is completely loose.

Unhinged conversations, industry banter, battery rebate chat, EV charging, burnout, installer gossip bordering on “should this be recorded?”, tequila, and way too many solar industry people around one table.

Featuring people from FranklinWH, Positive Energy, EVNEX, Percy Solar, MC Electrical, NRG, Supply Partners, Smart Energy Council, iStore and more. There’s also a couple of genuinely touching moments amongst the madness that probably caught all of us off guard.

Fun fact: this was actually recorded before another episode we already released… which honestly feels very on brand for this podcast lately.

Was this format a good idea? Unclear. Will rusted-on solar industry people absolutely love it? Most likely.
