EP 9: Omeed Badkoobeh - Solar Energy Is The Technology Of The Future

If you’ve ever contemplated how to reduce your energy bill, the chances are that you have seriously considered solar energy. With cost-effective options, tax breaks, and at-home installation, residential solar energy is becoming more common globally.

 

However, what about commercial buildings and companies? Can solar energy handle the exponentially higher energy needs of companies, and if so, how? Plus, if solar batteries can’t take extreme heat and cold, how will solar energy ever be a scalable energy solution in the long run? 

 

Omeed Badkoobeh is hard at work solving all of these questions. As a solar energy innovator and the CEO of Yotta Energy, Omeed is the leader in small to midsize company solar energy, has successfully created a solar energy company that produces power at scale, and designed and built a solar battery that can withstand extreme temperatures. 

 

In this episode of the Thinking Green Podcast, host Mohammad Abdalla and Omeed Badkoobeh discuss the solar energy landscape, the difficulty of producing solar energy at scale, Yotta Energy’s unique installation advantage, and why technology with proven value will always prevail.  

 

What You’ll Learn:

 

How an off-grid house in college piqued Omeed's interest and inspired him to go into the solar industry Why the best strategy for increased energy use over the next 5-10 years must include solar energy How Omeed's company has solved the perpetual issue of scalable solar power and batteries being unable to operate in extreme temperatures What a thriving company culture looks like, and why culture is so essential if you're looking to scale And much more!

“Naysayers will come and go. First, it was people who said that electric cars were incomprehensible. Now, those same people are saying that you can’t put power electronics on a rooftop. But the fact of the matter is that technology always prevails. If there’s a drive to create technology, and your product brings value, then it will always win.”
