In this week's episode, Gil Jenkins sits down with Steve Raeder, the founder and CEO of Summit Ridge Energy. As a leading player in the community solar market, Summit Ridge Energy (SRE) has made significant strides since its inception in 2017, deploying over $1.6 billion into clean energy assets. With a robust development pipeline of more than 2 GW, SRE will have more than 400 MW of solar PV online by the end of 2024, powering 50,000 homes and businesses. During the conversation, Steve opens up about his journey from SunEdison to founding Summit SRE. He breaks down the incredible value proposition for community solar, which offers guaranteed savings to both residential and small commercial customers while underscoring its pivotal role in the broader energy transition. Steve also discusses SRE’s growth strategy. Giving his outlook on the future of the community solar market, he details how the company is positioning itself to capitalize on this sector's continued growth. Additionally, Steve talks about the company’s solar panel supply partnership with Qcells, which was announced last year and is the largest domestic community solar purchase ever. He also shares insights into their innovative sustainability apprenticeship program in Chicago. Note: Summit Ridge Energy is a client of HASI.

In our final episode of 2023, we sit down with Dan Shugar, founder and CEO of Nextracker, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXT), a leading provider of intelligent, integrated solar tracker and software solutions used in utility-scale and distributed generation solar projects globally. With over 30 years of experience in the field, Dan has been a driving force in advancing climate tech solutions in the U.S. and around the world.

In the conversation with Gil, Dan reflects on Nextracker's incredible success over the past ten years, including its successful IPO earlier this year; they talked at length about the company's steadfast customer-focused mindset and how that has driven so many industry-first solar tracker innovations in their mission to transition the world to affordable, renewable power. Dan also talked about Nextracker's remarkable initiatives with U.S. manufacturing expansions over the past three years and the importance of public policy engagement for our industry. He also touched on a few non-U.S. markets that are key to his optimism for the future of solar power. We even found time at the end to have fun talking about great guitar music and his new musical products venture, AmpMojo.

A conversation with Dan Drasin, an award-winning documentary filmmaker. We focus on his featured documentaries Calling Earth, and Scole: The Afterlife Experiment. Drasin has been actively investigating the field of afterlife communication through traditional mental and physical mediumship as well as modern electronics. Hosted by Ray Couture 

We’re talking about claims – the fundamental building blocks of a patent. There simply is not a more important concept to grasp in all of patenting. As a former chief justice of the Federal Circuit once famously said, “The name of the game is the claim.” And in terms of what game you’re playing, the claims are where you separate the patents playing checkers from the patents playing chess.

This is where your patent practitioner earns their money and as you’ll learn today, also where the most costly mistakes can be born. As David Cohen, a Patently Strategic regular, has said in the past, "Ninety percent of the mental exercise in drafting patents is in the strategy of looking around corners, anticipating the future, and trying to capture as many would-be infringers as possible.” How your claims are crafted is literally the difference between a patent being an intellectual asset and a worthless stack of paper.

In this month’s episode, Ty Davis, Patent Strategy Associate here at Aurora, leads a discussion, along with our all star patent panel, delving deeply into:

⦿ Claim fundamentals
⦿ Claim drafting strategies
⦿ How to think about claims in the context of infringement
⦿ And in the game of patenting, how to move like a queen, so you’re not treated like a pawn.

Ty is joined by our always exceptional group of IP experts, including:

⦿ Dr. Ashley Sloat, President and Director of Patent Strategy at Aurora
⦿ Kristen Hansen, Patent Strategist at Aurora
⦿ Dr. David Jackrel, President of Jackrel Consulting
⦿ Marie Smyth, Patent Agent, formerly with Greenberg Traurig and Meta
⦿ Porter Thames, J.D. and Patent Agent at SMU Science and Technology Law Review

** Mossoff Minute **

This month's Mossoff Minute, featuring Professor Adam Mossoff, looks at the poorly named Advancing America's Interests Act and its potential impact on the ITC being able to block import of products that infringe on American patents.

In India's political arena, the Rajya Sabha has been adjourned till Monday, while the logjam continues in the Lok Sabha over the issue of Manipur. The parliamentary sessions remain tense as both houses struggle to find common ground on this matter. Turning our attention to the recent unrest in Haryana, we have news that Nuh SP, Varun Singla, has been transferred to Bhiwani. This move comes in the aftermath of communal clashes that resulted in six fatalities. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation as tensions persist. In a case related to the Delhi Excise Policy, there's no relief for Manish Sisodia, as the Supreme Court has deferred the hearing on his bail pleas until September. The situation remains uncertain for Sisodia, and all eyes are on the upcoming court proceedings. Former U.S. President Donald Trump finds himself in legal trouble once again. He's calling the charges against him a 'persecution of a political opponent' but has surprisingly pleaded guilty in a Washington court. This development has caught many by surprise and continues to make headlines. In the corporate world, Tata Consumer and ITC are in a race to acquire Fabindia-backed Organic India. The competition between these giants adds an exciting twist to the business world, and we'll be keeping a close eye on how this plays out.
