Welcome to Episode 42 of SunCast, and episode 3 of our Solar Pioneers series.

Today we're picking up on Part 2 of our Episode 40 with Cory Vaughan. If you missed the previous episode, please do take some time to go back and hear how it all started. Cory has had the good fortune of being an early team member with a front row seat to several startups that have become industry-leading behemoths, and in today's episode, we get into detail about:

The truth about Sunedison's rooftop leasing practices and whether it created an advantage
How Sunedison set up regulatory affairs and other inside information on upcoming market development
How SunEdison seemed to Always be ahead of the cost curve on solar project pricing
What it was really like to ride the rise and fall of the MEMC acquisition and company explosion
Cory's vision for financing and storage solution that will help the C&I market
Hot or Not, from DG to SAAS for solar to grid stabilization
Cory's advice to developers from his owned lessons learned
And what he'd do differently if he could start over with SunEdison again

Really Cory just doles out so much advice and insight in this follow-on episode, gleaning from 20+ yrs of experience selling solar!

I hope you have as much fun as we did recording it.
