9 years since I left my PhD lab. 8 years since this photo. Our running jokes haven't changed: I love reminding prof. Hamid Toliyat that I turned down his PhD offer three times. He loves reminding me he had to teach me, coming from a different background, electric machines and power electronics from scratch and step by step. He spent months in the lab with me until I finally knew the craft. Today the grind felt heavy. I texted him: "Catch up and gossip?" 45 minutes later, I was grounded again. I was thinking today we've professionalized the concept of mentorship almost beyond recognition. We have programs, platforms, and structured check-ins. What we've lost in the process is the longer arc: the relationship that doesn't end when your career phase does. In a culture that treats "mentorship" as a networking box to check, we overlook the lifelong anchor. The rare leader who knows when to lead, when to listen, and when to pivot from boss to peer and friend and see through the titles because they knew you before you had any. Who can separate the real problems from the noise, because they know you well enough to tell the difference. If you're building those relationships, as a mentor or as someone lucky enough to have one, play the long game. The quarterly win is easy to measure. The decade-long anchor is the one that actually matters. I've been fortunate to have the most amazing mentors and friends in my life. Now I'm trying my best to be that same person for others: a safe harbor where they can safely land, playing for the relationship that still matters a decade from now. #mentorship #leadership

Utility-scale solar is getting harder - tougher terrain, tighter margins, more scrutiny - and modeled results aren’t enough anymore. Our new white paper shows how TrueCapture® delivers up to 4% more energy through intelligent, row-level control - validated by independent engineers and deployed at 400+ sites worldwide. That’s real, bankable gains - worth millions per project over its lifetime.

In the era of AGI and massive data center growth, scaling sustainable energy depends on unifying fragmented hardware into a single, intelligent power platform. Nextpower is building the high-efficiency infrastructure required to power the next generation of compute with cleaner, more reliable energy generation.

Excited about today’s announcement and what it means for our customers. This is an important step for Nextpower as we expand into inverter technology, battery energy storage, and advanced power conversion. It strengthens our ability to deliver a more integrated platform that helps customers improve performance, simplify deployment, and move faster. Proud of the team and excited for what’s ahead. #Nextpower #SolarEnergy #EnergyStorage #PowerElectronics #Inverters #RenewableEnergy #DataCenters #CleanEnergy

Yesterday, Nextpower did no only report impressive earnings. Our management also announced that we will be venturing into a new era. Going forward, we will be able to offer central inverters - initially in the U.S.. Another step towards transitioning into a full PV technology platform delivering highly reliable products coupled with unmet customer focus and service. Despite all the turmoil in the world - the future is bright!

Exciting news at Nextpower!

Thrilled about this milestone for Nextpower. Looking forward to working closely with Jacob Marshall and the Apex Power Conversion team to propel Nextpower deeper into power conversion and the data center business. Combining Apex's proven inverter technology with Nextpower's platform unlocks a powerful new chapter for our customers and the grid. The convergence of solar, storage, and AI-driven load growth is creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity — and we're going after it. Let's go!

During a recent photoshoot in Rajasthan, as we flew a drone across acres of tracker-lined land, what caught my attention was that tree that held its ground - quiet, unassuming, but impossible to ignore. If you’re from this part of India, you probably recognized it instantly. The Khejri tree. And if you’re anything like my colleague who was with me on that shoot, you might even be thinking about sangri, a staple from this tree that finds its way into some of Rajasthan’s most loved dishes. But the Khejri is far more than that. It’s one of the few trees that thrives in the harsh desert landscape and gives back more than it takes. For centuries, it has sustained life here. Its roots enrich dry, nutrient-poor soil. Its leaves become fodder when nothing else grows. Its shade protects crops, livestock, and people from relentless heat. It doesn’t just survive in this landscape. It supports it. That’s why it’s revered. A tree that sustains its people inspires them to protect it in return. Communities here don’t just value the Khejri. They stand together to defend it. In fact, even today, people continue to stand up for it. Recent protests in Rajasthan led to stricter protections against its felling, a reminder that this tree is not just ecological capital, but cultural identity. On #InternationalEarthDay , that lone Khejri tree feels like more than just a moment captured in a photo. There, in the middle of a solar plant, it doesn’t stand in contrast. It shows us what coexistence can look like.
