Solar Alert! Rooftop Decay, Facility Decommissioning
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- April 15, 2025

“This is where the next frontier of solar energy lies—not in installing the next 100GW—it’s rescuing the first 100GW.” – Cesar Barbosa (below)

And you thought that owning a Tesla was ecological …. Imagine that solar roof that now needs attention with the installer AWOL. The solar industry is about to become the least popular in the U.S. with hundreds of thousands of disappointed customers.

———————–

Cesar Barbosa is busy in a hot new field–solar decommissioning. And repowering too if the tax credit is still there.

“As the founder of NuLife Power Services,” he states, “I’m proud to lead a nationally recognized company specializing in Repowering, Removal & Reinstallation, and Decommissioning for aging solar assets across North America.”

For me, it’s not just about revitalizing solar systems—it’s about building a strong workforce through solid leadership and investing in people who are driven to make a lasting impact in renewable energy.

The name NuLife reflects our mission: giving aging solar systems—and the teams behind them—a chance to shine.

He adds:

What's the over/under on time frame from installation to decommissioning?

Chances are most will never reach payout, even with the subsidies.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I was intrigued to learn recently that Tesla makes rooftop solar panels. That guy's into everything!

He didn't get that rich by not being a shrewd businessman. Innovative, too.

watch out when the morons find out about them they will start climbing on roof to destroy them. Of curse they won’t be smart enough to determine which ones are made by Tesla so they will just trash every solar panel they see.
