Editorial Team

The Solar Daily Editorial Team produces Solar Daily's coverage of solar energy and the renewable transition. We report on photovoltaics, energy storage, project development, markets and policy, and the research advancing the next generation of solar technology. Articles reflect our team's collective editorial process, source verification, drafting, technical review, and editing, rather than a single writer's work. Solar Daily takes editorial responsibility for content under this byline. For more on how we work, see our editorial policy.
