Sinopsis
America's power grid and the solar industry racing to plug into it are advancing on two entirely different clocks.
One is a century-old system of aging transformers, one-way wiring, and rate-making rules built for a handful of large power plants — a grid where the average transformer is decades past its design life, and where interconnection queues now stretch toward a decade.
The other is a technology whose costs keep falling, whose efficiency keeps climbing, and whose deployment keeps setting new annual records — advancing faster than the infrastructure meant to absorb it.
The Grid and the Sun is the first book to treat these as a single story. It traces the physical and financial condition of the American grid alongside the parallel, equally fast-moving story of solar technology itself — and grounds every claim in sourced, current data rather than either techno-optimism or alarm.
Inside, you'll find:
- Why the U.S. grid is straining under aging infrastructure, decentralization, and a storage bottleneck still working through a real long-duration gap
- The physics behind silicon's efficiency ceiling — and the perovskite materials racing to break past it
- How China came to dominate solar manufacturing, and what the U.S. reshoring effort has (and hasn't) achieved
- A Texas grid four minutes from total collapse — and how it rebuilt itself in five years
- A California grid where batteries now regularly outproduce natural gas on the evening peak
- What it will actually take to close the gap between the grid we inherited and the one the sun demands
Written for the policy staffer, energy-adjacent professional, investor, and serious general reader who wants to understand what's actually happening beneath the headlines — not a sweeping climate manifesto, not a technical manual for engineers.
