I'm sure Nico does a good job sourcing guests, but derek the solarboi isn't it. Just having that dude on the show makes me cast doubt on the quality of research and vetting the host does.

Nico does an amazing job connecting with interesting, influential and inspiring members of the solar and storage community. As a 16-year industry vet myself I can say this podcast provides a deep well of content and perspective that keeps me coming back.

Terrible, waste of time

SunCast has been a weekly listen for me for many years. Nico continues to bring some of the brightest and most progressive minds of our industry on his show. If you’re passionate about the clean energy industry and revolution, get SunCast in your rotation!

As an avid follower of the renewable energy sector, I recently discovered the "SunCast" podcast, and it has quickly become one of my go-to sources for insightful and engaging content. Hosted by the charismatic and knowledgeable Nico, "SunCast" offers a deep dive into the world of solar energy, featuring industry leaders, innovators, and influencers who are driving the transition to a sustainable future.

We need more

Nico brings us digestible market intelligence from across the industry to draw out insights you just can’t get anywhere else! Thank you, Nico, for all that you do!

My name is Charlie Saginaw and I have been a B2B sales person in solar for the past 9 years. Suncast has been huge for doing discovery and learning about the different businesses that I am trying to provide solutions to. Aside from being useful for business development, the stories are heart warming and give me a sense that solar is more than a industry but it also a community of people trying to make a positive difference in the world. Keep up the good work Nico! S

Discovering this podcast has been an absolute game-changer for me on my new journey into the solar industry. The entertainment & knowledge gained in the short couple months I’ve been following is impressive! Now working for Azimuth Energy, I can honestly say that Suncast has played a major role in my understanding of the solar industry, and I can’t thank you enough Nico!! Keep it up!

Nico’s show has contributed a sizable percentage of the solar knowledge that exists in my brain. Awesome guests and covers a wide variety of subjects in the solar industry. I am so grateful for all that Nico and his contributors have done and look forward to the next thousand episodes.

Amazing podcast. Great perspectives. Meaningful stories.

This is the perfect podcast for “solar warriors” (Nico’s term) / “solar nerds” (my term). I have only started to scratch the surface of the back catalog, but each episode has been incredibly insightful. I am learning a lot about how the solar industry operates, and the players that have built (and are still building) it. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone with even a passing interest in the industry!

Thank you Nico Blake Sturke, Encore for being vulnerable in sharing your favorite quotes, personal journeys and finding purpose in the this challenging world. Blake's story led him to making positive outcomes in creating clean energy, soil preservation and how leaders should inspire employees. My hope is more companies embrace doing the right thing over greed.

This is an awesome podcast that covers a wide range of topics and offers so much value to the industry.

New listener, but man I am sold. Nico really gets the industry and helps break things down in a way that is as helpful for the new people and experts alike. Something for everyone and a soothing delivery. You can tell he has really honed his craft.

Suncast delivers an insane amount of content related specifically to the solar industry. Nico’s interviewees represent a really unique range of perspectives across big and small companies as well as different aspects in the solar project value chain. I always learn a few new things from each episode.

Tune in to Nico’s podcast where you can learn about many different aspects of the solar industry with a personal touch. I recommend this podcast to those new to the solar industry or looking to get into it, and industry veterans alike.

Nothing learned here, boring cliches and no value add.

In this industry it is imperative that everyone stay up to date on all aspects of green energy and the developments (tech, policy, marketing) related to one’s own category (solar, wind, heat pumps, etc). Nico does a great job selecting his guests and making sure that they speak in a way that applies to a wide cross section of Local Energy Revolution warriors ;)

Nico does an awesome job sharing stories and helping dig into areas to think about. As a newer sales rep this has been huge I. Helping me expand my knowledge base. My favorite part of the show is the book suggestions!

As a business owner and entrepreneur I can’t recommend SunCast enough. The interviews are thorough and the insights go far beyond solar to great business and startup advice. Listen to this podcast as Nico is leading the way forward in so many ways!

Loved this episode. So great to hear from a senior woman leader in the industry who calls it like she sees it. Can’t wait to hear the interview with Laura Beane!

Hey all, I just learned how to leave a review and this is long overdue… I started in the solar industry in 2006, but was a casualty of the solar coaster employment cycle, in 2011. Unfortunately, I spent the next decade in and out of energy development. During my developmental days and in the periods between, I found SunCast a breath of fresh air. There are few places one can go in this over hyped and media driven world where the conversation is always positive, clean, engaging and informative. Even rarer still, does one find the curious authenticity that Nico brings to the table every episode and with each guest. It’s a master class of class weekly, as his knowledge spans the ever growing universe of solar, while he stays humble and appreciative of anyone that is willing to help create positive change. The reality, is that this change will take everyone, and all are welcome within this conversation. Please join and share these conversations with your friends, family, colleagues and influencers. Thank you Nico!

Nico is a wealth of knowledge and such an incredible educator and leader in the renewable space. The hour and a half episode with Mohammed Abdalla was such an interesting story which definitely left me craving more. Keep up the great work Nico!

If you’re curious about renewable energy, transitioning to the field, or want to keep up to date with the quick changing business, Suncast is one of the best ways I’ve found so far of hearing from the best in the business on a regular basis. Excellent programming. I’m thankful for it!

A long time listener, fan, and guest. Love Nico, his content, and the amazing guests that have passed through his virtual studio. Keep doing what you are doiing Nico!

This latest episode with Miguel Gil Mast sharing his trek and success with Schneider Electric and other related experience is superb. The global aspects discussed of skills and applicability were excellent and a lot of value will be derived by many ongoing from the fantastic work Nico and team are delivering continuously and consistently.

I love this podcast!

Nico Johnson provides a great deal of valuable insight, knowledge of Solar energy entrepreneurs, and up to date info in the Clean energy space. I can’t go a week without listening to Nico and his amazing guest that share and give value on each episode. Thank you so much Nico johnson and SunCast team for helping our Industry propel forward.

I've been a regular listener for Suncast for more then a year and the content always amazes me. I learn, I"m challenged in my thinking and no interviewer is more uplifting in questioning then Nico. Love it.

Nico is one of the most experienced, intelligent and hard-working professionals I know in the clean energy industry. He takes the time to get to know his guests and consistently produces outstanding episodes. His knowledge of the industry is unparalleled. I often learn just as much from Nico as I do from his guests! He’s also just an awesome human being. Thank you Nico!

Below is my initial review of Suncast — over 5 years ago (!). And over that time, the show has just gotten better: Nico presents an optimistic, yet practical view of the solar industry from the point of view of the entrepreneurs and “doers” in the renewable energy industry worldwide: their vision, their challenges, their struggles, and their triumphs! If you are in the renewable energy industry — or even if you just want a weekly dose of inspiration and optimism drawn from some of the best minds in the space, this is the pod for you ——— Suncast provides an extremely valuable and timely tool for anyone developing projects in Latin America, or simply curious about what the whole "Latin América Solar Boom” is all about. Solar professionals, manufacturers, equipment suppliers and EPCs operating in the region all get something out of it. From tid-bits on how to be a more effective sales person, to tips on what developers are really looking for in a solar project – it’s all here, in a fun, practical format that doesn’t require reviewing pages and pages of charts and online contents. Even though the podcast is new (only three episodes as of this writing), the host (Nico) has no difficulty gaining access to veterans of the solar industry in Latin America – well-known equipment suppliers, top-notch analysts, and experienced developers. The episodes come across polished, well thought-out, focused, and filled with relevant contents. I look forward to tuning in periodically. Kudos to Nico for launching this valuable initiative.

I love tuning into Suncast. Nico is knowledgeable and down to earth. I always learn something while listening, whether about renewables or life. Thanks Nico.

Highly-relevant, efficiently-curated content on technical topics and career development in the clean tech sector.

Nico has done an incredible job. This Podcast is not only outstanding for solar professionals, but in general it's a genuinely great podcast which covers a lot of tips for thriving in any professional setting. I'm not typically entertained by Podcasts, but this has an at-home vibe where it feels like I'm part of the discussion. Well done! My advice: Try it!

Fantastic source of insight and information for those interested in clean energy

Suncast is a phenomenal resource. Nico has a great way of getting his guests to open up about their experiences and ask the right questions to glean insight in practical, replicable terms. Highly recommend!

How does he do it? Nico has a way of extracting information from his guests that brings out their humble, humorous, human side in a gracious and fun manner to keep the discussion interesting.

Nico does a great job of engaging smart, interesting, fun guests and topics and providing value in every episode. Excellent for professionals and curious energy people.

This podcast is absolutely incredible. The type of talent interviewed along with the information that’s provided is ridiculously valuable. Your ears will thank you!

It is amazing

You know how to bring out the best in your interviews.

I was turned on to your feed through Adam Hall and his Million Solar Star project - which was awesome. I am a teacher in Denver and partnered with Million Solar Stars in this crusade. I then tuned into your other podcasts and am impressed with your guests and depth of knowledge within the solar tribe. Now more than ever, these topics need to be discussed and taught to our kids. Well done.

Adam Hall is an inspiration, and programs like Million Solar Stars are exactly what we need in this world. Keep up the great work SunCast!

I love the SunCast and recommend it to all my fellow “Solar Warriors.” Nico excels at sharing practical, actionable insights, and his guests are top notch. Plus he brings an infectious enthusiasm to each show. SunCast is a must-listen if you’re in the solar industry – and a tremendous resource for anyone who wants to better understand the challenges and opportunities presented by the energy transition taking place across the globe.

SunCast is a fabulous resource for rising leaders in the solar and broader energy industries! Host Nico does a great job of sourcing and sharing valuable stories from entrepreneurs and business leaders alike! I highly recommend you dig in!

This is a super put together podcast that explores solar (obviously), but also mindsets, stories and little gems of wisdom for building your own business, creating your career and making a big impact. If you’re in solar this is a no-brained podcast. If you’re interested in business, this is among the better podcasts around. Nico is an expert interviewer. Hats off!

I started listening just yesterday and I'm already 5 episodes deep. Engaging, informative, inspiring, fun. Exactly the window into solar I was looking for. Thank you for all your work, Nico!

Nico, I’ve just been working in the Solar industry the last year or so and just wanted to say thanks for all the great info, guests, and perspective you provide on your podcasts. I put solar on my house about 3 years ago and since then have become more and more immersed in the industry. Enough to make a career change last year. I look forward to going in to work everyday. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

This podcast has some outstanding guests who are accomplished solar entrepreneurs and industry experts. Whenever I listen to a show I always come away with some valuable insight from Nico's interviews. Well worth a listen!
