After more than 75 interviews over six years, <em>Solar Power World<\/em> editor-in-chief Kelly Pickerel is passing the Contractor\u2019s Corner podcast torch to managing editor Kelsey Misbrener. The <em>SPW <\/em>team started the interview series back in 2012, before podcasts were even recognized as a valuable media resource. While we have expanded Contractor\u2019s Corner over the years, we have stuck to interviews with solar contractors across all markets, providing an inside look into how the solar installation market is performing across the country. Misbrener will keep up that tradition, and we hope you\u2019ll tune in to her first episode in January 2022!<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, since there are many episodes to reflect on, Pickerel has pulled together some of her favorite interviews during her tenure as podcast host. While some themes weave throughout \u2014 permitting woes are still annoying \u2014 it\u2019s nice to remember the hot-button issues of yesteryear and realize just how far the solar industry has come.<\/p>\n<p>As always, you can find the Contractor\u2019s Corner podcast on your favorite podcast app.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1172965996%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-pMREf4yTIrB&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"><a style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Contractor's Corner by Solar Power World\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/solarpowerworld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contractor&#8217;s Corner by Solar Power World<\/a> \u00b7 <a style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Contractor's Corner: Best of 2015-2021\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/solarpowerworld\/contractors-corner-best-of-2015-2021\/s-pMREf4yTIrB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contractor&#8217;s Corner: Best of 2015-2021<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>Episodes featured in today&#8217;s roundup:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2019\/06\/contractors-corner-peak-view-solar\/\">Peak View Solar<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2018\/10\/contractors-corner-sun-light-and-power\/\">Sun Light and Power<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2020\/03\/contractors-corner-paradise-energy-solutions\/\">Paradise Energy Solutions<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2017\/01\/contractors-corner-proving-solar-viable-even-darkest-alaskan-communities\/\">Arctic Solar Ventures<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2020\/08\/contractors-corner-sunation\/\">SUNation<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>KP&#8217;s favorite Contractor&#8217;s Corner images over the years<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"su-image-carousel  su-image-carousel-has-spacing su-image-carousel-has-outline su-image-carousel-adaptive su-image-carousel-slides-style-photo su-image-carousel-controls-style-dark su-image-carousel-align-none\" style=\"max-width:700px\" data-flickity-options='{\"groupCells\":true,\"cellSelector\":\".su-image-carousel-item\",\"adaptiveHeight\":true,\"cellAlign\":\"left\",\"prevNextButtons\":true,\"pageDots\":true,\"autoPlay\":false,\"imagesLoaded\":true,\"contain\":false,\"selectedAttraction\":0.025,\"friction\":0.28}' id=\"su_image_carousel_644f65b4dc153\"><div class=\"su-image-carousel-item\"><div class=\"su-image-carousel-item-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2021\/11\/contractors-corner-solv-energy\/swinerton-solv-energy-little-bear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-caption=\"210.5-MWdc Little Bear project in Mendota, California\"><img width=\"740\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Swinerton-SOLV-Energy-Little-Bear.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-96320\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Swinerton-SOLV-Energy-Little-Bear.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Swinerton-SOLV-Energy-Little-Bear-500x325.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Swinerton-SOLV-Energy-Little-Bear-368x238.jpg 368w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"su-image-carousel-item\"><div class=\"su-image-carousel-item-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2021\/09\/contractors-corner-aurora-energy\/ae-courtesy-ewing-cole-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-caption=\"Aurora Energy&#039;s installation at United Therapeutics.
