America's power grid and the solar industry racing to plug into it are advancing on two entirely different clocks.

One is a century-old system of aging transformers, one-way wiring, and rate-making rules built for a handful of large power plants - a grid where the average transformer is decades past its design life, and where interconnection queues now stretch toward a decade.

The other is a technology whose costs keep falling, whose efficiency keeps climbing, and whose deployment keeps setting new annual records - advancing faster than the infrastructure meant to absorb it.

The Grid and the Sun is the first book to treat these as a single story. It traces the physical and financial condition of the American grid alongside the parallel, equally fast-moving story of solar technology itself - and grounds every claim in sourced, current data rather than either techno-optimism or alarm.
