Amazing Subject Variety

“I love what Tim does with the Clean Energy Power Hour. The subjects range from high-level industry challenges to nitty-gritty technical topics like UL 3741 requirements. His ability to tackle a broad range of topics ensures there’s something for everyone.”

Barklie Estes

Quality!

Clean Power Hour has some of the best renewable energy content available! Tim is an expert in this space and it shows!

A Value-Adding Listen

I’m a weekly listener of Tim’s podcast. His content is both educational and forward thinking as the solar and storage spaces continue to evolve here in the US in quick-moving, turbulent times.

How Microgrids and Batteries Future-Proof Grid Resilience

Tim continually features exceptional guests who offer valuable insights about the rapidly evolving energy industry. As an industry veteran, he asks thoughtful questions that allow his guests to illustrate their particular knowledge and expertise. In this episode, it was quite encouraging to learn that microgrids and battery storage can deliver critical resilience during extreme weather events.Thank you Tim, for all you do to support renewables with your work as an educator and a podcaster.

Next to the sun, the CPH is the best thing in the solar system

Tim’s Clean Power Hour has been a “born again” experience for me as I lean into semi retirement and look for other things to give me purpose and direction in life. His guests are excellent, and the way Tim navigates these discussions is nothing short of genius. I’m not up to speed technically, or with the terminology of the industry, so I’m about to read Tim’s Wired for Sun, to prepare me for the 2 solar projects I plan on doing in conjunction with my business. I’m going to go off the scale and give Tim and his show/guests 6 stars.

Fantastic show

The show every solar professional can benefit from! Thanks for curating such great guests and conversations. I learn something relevant to my work every time I listen!

Technical & Insightful

Clearly, Tim is talking to experts in the field with on-the-ground experience. It’s worth the short wait past the commercials to hear the one-on-one interviews. Be prepared, some are in-depth talks assumeing knowledge on the listener’s part of the jargon and acronyms of the field. But for a generalist like myself, (I’m an architect who has worked in building systems and envelope commissioning), it is fascinating to be let into the world of practical, large scale, solutions to renewably generating and storing electrical energy. Podcast sound quality isn’t stellar, at least on my narrow band-width access, but the information is there. Its given me a picture of a developing industry from the business side to the technical.

Simplified but great information

I met Tim in our Chint Power Systems Sales summit in InterSolar San Diego. Since then, I started listening his episodes. That keeps me updated of the market status and business opportunities from great guests on the broadcast. I highly recommend it and will fully support his show 👍!

Best Solar show

This is the best Solar podcast I’ve found and I tried many. I’m new to the industry but there’s a broad range of thoughtful information for newbies to very seasoned Solar pros. Loads of great guests and current news trends.

Great Show! Love learning from Tim!

I love listening to Tim and the Commercial Solar Guy enlighten the public about what exactly is going on. Listening to them makes them seem like they are my friends and on my level. Some podcasters think they are too important. These guys are real!

Sean White

Informed and Inspired in Solar

Great podcast, I listen weekly. Keeps me update with what’s happening in the renewable energy world, as well as entertained! The realities of climate change can be discouraging, but the dialogue on The Clean Power Hour from Tim Montague, John Weaver, and their guests brings hope through innovation, education, and the will to make a change. The inspiring conversations with industry leading guests and discussions on current solar topics make this podcast a staple for anyone like myself who is breaking into the solar industry and wanting to get the real scoop.

Where Clean Energy Gets Real — and Sometimes Nerdy

I’ve worked with Tim for over a year now, and the guy is the real deal when it comes to clean energy. His Clean Power Hour podcast isn’t just another talking-head show—it’s where smart people with street cred come to talk about how we actually get stuff done in the clean energy world.Tim’s got this knack for bringing together a network of experts who not only know their stuff but also know how to explain it. One episode you’re knee-deep in solar finance, the next you’re geeking out over batteries, and somehow it all makes sense.If you care about where the energy transition is headed—especially in the commercial space—and you want to hear from people actually moving the needle, this is your show. Plus, you’ll probably learn a few things you can drop at your next networking event to sound smarter than you actually are.
