Building Winning Teams and Revolutionary Products with Bryan Wagner | EP276

  • サマリー

  • Today on the Clean Power Hour, Tim Montague sits down with Bryan Wagner, President of CPS America, at InterSolar San Diego 2025. Wagner shares insights on CPS's impressive growth to over 10.5 gigawatts of inverters deployed in the US market and their ambitious goal to reach 15 gigawatts.

    The conversation dives into CPS's innovative product offerings, including their groundbreaking skidded string inverter approach that combines the benefits of centralized and distributed string systems. Wagner explains how their new 250 kilowatt 600-volt inverter in a centralized configuration is revolutionizing commercial and utility-scale solar with factory-wired systems that drastically reduce labor costs.

    A significant focus of the discussion is on CPS's exciting "Gonzo" commercial energy storage system - a 261 kWh all-in-one battery solution that combines PCS and battery storage in a single container. Wagner describes how this product simplification mirrors the evolution of string inverters from a decade ago and reveals plans to offer skidded one-megawatt-hour configurations by combining multiple units.

    The episode also explores the growing importance of energy storage because of declining net metering (where solar electrons are devalued) nationwide. Wagner provides fascinating insights on how commercial building owners can think of their properties as energy assets through arbitrage opportunities and intelligent energy management.

    Perhaps most valuably, Wagner shares his philosophy on team building and talent development, explaining how CPS America cultivates its industry-leading customer service through investing in people. His athletic background informs his approach to identifying each team member's unique talents and helping them break through their personal ceilings.

    Listen to this episode to gain valuable insights on the current state and future direction of commercial and utility-scale solar and storage technology, and learn leadership lessons from one of the industry's most respected executives.
