Summary
Helen interviews Aviv Shalgi, interviews Solar Simplified, Chicago based Aviv came up with the concept for Solar simplified whilst in lockdown by connecting consumers with the local solar farms in the USA. These are offsite solar farms, so there is no installation of panels on your property. Solar Simplified works directly with the suppliers in the states that have been through deregulation (which is the majority) to facilitate discounts for the end user to shave money off the monthly bill.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the fully charged show podcast, I'm Helen Chersky. |
| 0:29.9 | This week on the podcast we're going to be talking about solar energy and a scheme for connecting |
| 0:35.1 | US citizens to getting solar energy, which isn't as simple as it sounds, and also a little |
| 0:40.5 | bit about the public mood on solar in the US. I was talking to Aviv Shalgi, who he's |
| 0:47.2 | the CEO of a company called Solar Simplified. It's actually a very young company just about |
| 0:52.7 | a year old and it's a software company designed to connect two parts of a large energy supply |
| 0:58.9 | system, and the idea is ultimately to increase solar capacity in America and it's easy to assume |
| 1:04.8 | that if renewables are cheaper, which they do tend to be, then big companies already have an |
| 1:09.9 | incentive to build them, that sounds sensible. But it turns out that life is a bit more complicated |
| 1:15.0 | than that, and Aviv thinks he has a way to join the dots, so here's the podcast. |
| 1:29.3 | My energy is putting the eye back into British innovation. My energy is putting the eye back |
| 1:35.8 | into inventing the future. My energy is putting the eye back into inspiring a nation. Recharging the |

| 2:04.5 | So, Aviv, thank you for joining us on the Fully Charged Podcast today. So first of all, |
| 2:09.8 | let's start off with where are you and how are you doing? These are always good questions to start with. |
| 2:15.7 | I'm doing very well, thank you for asking and obviously thank you very much for having me, Helen. |
| 2:20.4 | I live in Chicago in the US, although I'm originally Israeli, so I spent most of my life in |
| 2:27.8 | Israel and I moved here about five years ago. And we're going to be talking about your company, |
| 2:33.9 | Solar Simplified and the idea that it runs on. But before we get into that, I was wondering, |
| 2:38.7 | how did you get into all of this? Like, have you always been a renewables person or a solar |
| 2:43.1 | person or an energy person or have you sort of arrived here by accident? |
