From Policy to Power: Why Consumers Matter in the Future of the Electric Grid
“Clean energy is undeniably one of the most readily available, cleanest, and most affordable sources of energy. And to deny that and have a policy that does not support it is like an ostrich sticking your head in the sand.”— David StittAbout the Show:In this episode of Stitt Happens, host David Stitt—CEO of The Stitt Group and Stitt Solar—takes on one of the biggest questions in energy right now: how do technology, policy, and everyday consumer choices come together to build a smarter, cleaner grid? As demand for electricity climbs, driven by new homes, businesses, EVs, and data centers, David lays out what needs to change so homeowners and businesses can be partners in building a reliable, sustainable energy future instead of getting left out of the conversation.He walks through how new technology—solar, batteries, and smart home devices—is giving homeowners and businesses more ability than ever to produce, store, and manage their own power. But he's candid about the flip side: a lot of current policy still penalizes people for investing in clean energy, discouraging the kind of distributed solutions that could actually ease pressure on the grid and make communities more resilient. He also gets into where the real opportunity is right now—efficiency is still the low-hanging fruit—along with what solar actually looks like as a long-term investment, consumer protections worth knowing, and where the industry needs to hold itself accountable.The throughline is collaboration—what it would take for policy to catch up with what the technology can already do. That includes ideas like time-of-use pricing, meter aggregation, donating banked energy credits to local nonprofits, standardizing approvals, protecting net metering for typical residential systems, and lining up utility incentives with what clean energy actually promises. Whether you're a homeowner, a business owner, or someone shaping policy, it's a grounded look at what it takes to build an energy system that works for everyone.Key Takeaways:Consumers deserve a seat at the table: Homeowners and businesses willing to invest in solar should be treated as partners in solving grid capacity, not a threat to utility revenue.A 10 kW “fast track” could unlock mass-market solar: A pre-approved size threshold for standard residential systems would make installation and net metering predictable.Get two quotes: Vetted financing that flags price-per-watt outliers is already building guardrails against the industry’s bad actors.Distributed solar works at home: David’s own system produced 2,164 kWh in August 2026, sent 537 kWh back to the grid, and closed the month with a $19.44 bill.Banked credits could become community donations: A proposed billing mechanism would let customers with large kWh surpluses donate them to nonprofits, churches, or neighbors in need.Time-of-use pricing rewards shifting when you use power: Charging an EV or heating water overnight benefits both the customer’s bill and the utility’s grid.Bigger demand is coming: The Entergy/Google data center story is an early signal of how utilities and regulators will decide who pays for future grid capacity.Important Links and Mentions on the Show:Stitt Solar: https://stittsolar.comStitt Group: https://thestittgroup.comStitt Solar FAQs: https://stittsolar.com/faqContact Stitt Solar for a free evaluation: https://stittsolar.com/contactStitt Happens Podcast ArchiveYouTube ChannelListen to Stitt Happens (Apple Podcasts, Spotify & more)Arkansas PSC (Public Service Commission) – Utility Regulation InfoSubscribe to Stitt Happens for conversations that help you live smarter, save money, and embrace the future of clean energy.Stay connected:Sign up for the Stitt Solar newsletter (Coming Soon)Contact Stitt Solar for your FREE solar consultationFollow Stitt

Possibility Thinking: How Solar and Batteries Give Everyone a Role in Our Energy Future
"Batteries are kind of the heart and soul of so many possibilities."— David StittAbout the Show:In this episode of Stitt Happens, host Randy Wilburn sits down with David Stitt of The Stitt Group and Stitt Solar to unpack what solar battery storage can really do for homes and businesses. As electricity demand climbs—driven by extreme heat, new data centers, and a grid under growing strain—Randy and David explore how modern batteries have evolved from a niche add-on into an intelligent, everyday tool for resilience and savings. They cover how batteries actually work, what to expect from one during a power outage, why solar and batteries pair so well together, and how outdated net metering policy is shaping the economics of going solar. The conversation also digs into financing, including Stitt Solar’s “bill swap” approach, and closes with practical advice for homeowners and business owners who are ready to ask the right questions and take the first step toward energy independence.Key Takeaways:Batteries Are Mainstream Now: What was once a niche add-on has become an everyday, practical upgrade for homes and businesses.Batteries Are Smart, Not Just Storage: Modern systems are sophisticated computers that continuously monitor and optimize how power is stored, used, and shared with the grid.Start Small, Scale Later: Solar and battery capacity can be added in stages—and financing keeps getting more flexible.Policy Hasn’t Caught Up: Outdated net metering rules mean Arkansas homeowners are often paid a fraction of retail rate for excess solar, which is a big reason batteries make sense.Awareness Changes Behavior: Watching what a battery actually powers teaches homeowners where their energy goes—and how to save.Real Savings Add Up: Utility rate hikes only increase the value of an existing solar investment; some Stitt Solar customers pay a fraction of their neighbors’ bills.A Maturing Industry Means Safer Choices: Better financing (no dealer fees) and more reliable partners make going solar or adding a battery lower-risk than it used to be.Important Links and Mentions on the Show:Stitt Solar: https://stittsolar.comStitt Group: https://thestittgroup.comStitt Solar FAQs: https://stittsolar.com/faqContact Stitt Solar for a free evaluation: https://stittsolar.com/contactStitt Happens Podcast ArchiveYouTube ChannelSolar & Battery Financing InformationSolar Policy and Net Metering ResourcesListen to Stitt Happens (Apple Podcasts, Spotify & more)Arkansas PSC (Public Service Commission) – Utility Regulation InfoSubscribe to Stitt Happens for conversations that help you live smarter, save money, and embrace the future of clean energy.Stay connected:Sign up for the Stitt Solar newsletter (Coming Soon)Contact Stitt Solar for your FREE solar consultationFollow Stitt Solar on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedInSubscribe wherever you get your podcasts!Stitt Solar1301 S 8th St,Rogers, AR 72756Tel: 479.636.8745Email: info@thestittgroup

Building Homes That Weather the Storm: Resilient Design and Smart Energy for Modern Living
“Code compliance is a minimum allowed by law. If we wanted to translate that into education, that’s a D in school. So you can go to fourth grade or seventh grade or whatever; you passed, but you didn’t excel.”— David Stitt, The Stitt GroupAbout the Show:In this episode of Stitt Happens, host Randy Wilburn sits down with David Stitt of The Stitt Group to pull back the curtain on true home resilience. For many homeowners, standard building codes feel like a safety net—but Randy and David reveal the critical gap between “code compliant” and “truly resilient.” From anchor bolts and engineered connections to solar-powered battery backup and ICF safe rooms, they share practical strategies—enhanced structural packages, envelope integrity, and integrated solar—that transform a house into a fortress. Whether you’re planning a new build, adding an ADU, or exploring retrofit options, this episode is a clear roadmap for protecting your family and your biggest investment.Key Takeaways:Code Is the Starting Line: Code sets the legal floor for safety, not the gold standard. True resilience means exceeding it.Resilience Is a System: Real protection comes from layering strategies—tying structure from foundation to roof, fortifying windows and doors, and integrating backup power. It’s a system, not a single upgrade.Start Early or Miss the Window: Resilience must be engineered in from Day One. Once framing is finished, the most critical upgrades are no longer possible.Energy Resilience and Envelope Efficiency Work Together: Modern solar arrays with battery backup turn your home into a personal power plant, keeping you comfortable and connected through grid outages—and a well-sealed envelope makes that backup power last longer.ICF Safe Rooms Are More Accessible Than You Think: ICF safe rooms deliver high-impact protection at a relatively low cost and can be added to new builds or retrofitted into existing homes.Ask Hard Questions and Invest Smart: Don’t assume your builder is exceeding code. Ask directly: ‘How strong is this house?’ and ‘What’s our resilience plan?’ Small upgrades like anchor bolts and engineered connectors are often inexpensive but vital.Long-Term Value and Community Standards: Resilience investments protect long-term property value, reduce post-storm repair costs, and raise the standard of construction when builders, homeowners, and officials commit to sharing best practices.Important Links and Mentions on the Show:Stitt Solar: https://stittsolar.comStitt Group: https://thestittgroup.comStitt Solar FAQs: https://stittsolar.com/faqContact Stitt Solar for a free evaluation: https://stittsolar.com/contactFEMA Safe Room GuidelinesSimpson Strong-Tie (Structural Connectors)Texas Tech Wind Research Center3M Structural TapesMiami-Dade Hurricane Building CodeSubscribe to Stitt Happens for conversations that help you live smarter, save money, and embrace the future of clean energy.Stay connected:Sign up for the Stitt Solar newsletter (Coming Soon)Contact Stitt Solar for your FREE solar consultationFollow Stitt Solar on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedInSubscribe wherever you get your podcasts!Stitt Solar</

The Hidden First Step to Smarter Home Building and Lower Energy Bills
“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”— David Stitt, The Stitt GroupAbout the Show:Thinking about building your dream home — or making the one you already live in healthier and more energy-efficient? In this episode of Stitt Happens, host Randy Wilburn sits down with David Stitt, CEO of The Stitt Group and Stitt Solar, to map out what smart, sustainable homebuilding actually looks like in practice. You'll find out why the most expensive mistakes happen before a single shovel hits the ground, why ventilation is the most overlooked piece of the HVAC puzzle, and how building science and the right team can make all the difference. If you care about sustainability, lower energy bills, or just building smarter—this one's for you.Episode SummaryBuilding a new home usually starts with big ideas and a lot of excitement. But as Randy and David reveal, the space between creative vision, financial planning, and real building science is exactly where most projects go wrong. This episode is about closing that gap.David Stitt brings decades of family experience and a genuine passion for high-performance construction. He breaks down why so many homeowners — and even experienced builders — confuse energy-efficient features like double-pane windows or Energy Star appliances with true home performance. The conversation covers the HERS index, load calculations, and why ventilation is critical for comfort, health, and long-term savings.You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how The Stitt Group integrates design, construction, and building science to avoid cost overruns and deliver homes that actually perform. And if you're not building new, there's plenty here for renovation projects too.Key Takeaways:Start with a Plan, Not Just a Floor Plan: Financial planning and design must go hand in hand from the very beginning to avoid budget overruns and disappointment.Integrate Building Science Early: Most expensive mistakes—and missed efficiency opportunities—happen in the design and pre-construction phases.Don’t Overlook Ventilation: The “V” in HVAC is often ignored, but healthy indoor air and proper airflow are essential for comfort and well-being.Know What a HERS Rating Is: The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) is a proven way to measure and verify a home’s efficiency—before and after construction.Right-Sized HVAC Is Non-Negotiable: Load calculations and proper ductwork prevent comfort problems, high bills, and moisture issues for decades to come.Teamwork (Not Fragmentation) Wins: Successful projects rely on architects, builders, HVAC pros, and energy raters communicating openly and sharing responsibility.Retrofitting Is Possible: Older homes can often be improved with diagnostics, targeted repairs, and better ventilation—sometimes without big-ticket replacements.Ask Hard Questions: Don’t assume every builder or contractor follows best practices. Demand clear answers and third-party verification.Energy Efficiency Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive: High performance is about smart choices, not always high costs—and often saves money for years to come.Forward Thinking Matters: Builders and contractors who are committed to learning, adapting, and integrating new tech and science deliver better homes and happier homeowners.Important Links and Mentions on the Show:Stitt Solar: https://stittsolar.comStitt Group: https://thestittgroup.comStitt Solar FAQs: https://stittsolar.com/faqContact Stitt Solar for a free evaluation: https://stittsolar.com/contactArkansas PSC (Public Service Commission) – Utility Regulation InfoHERS Index Tool & Info: Resnet.org HERS Interactive PageBook: “18 Principles to Building an Energy-Efficient Home” by David Stitt and familyHome Energy Rating Certification:<a href="https://www.resnet.us/" rel="no

Building Energy Independence: Innovation, Affordable Solar, and the Future of the Grid. EP3
About the Show:“The solar playbook just changed. Tax credits are fading, net metering is shifting, and the "go big or go home" approach to solar? It's getting a serious rethink.”David StittIn this episode of Stitt Happens, Randy Wilburn sits down with David Stitt — CEO of The Stitt Group and Stitt Solar — for a straight-talk conversation about what solar actually looks like in Arkansas right now. No hype. No scare tactics. Just honest, grounded perspective from someone who's been in the energy industry for nearly 40 years.The solar landscape is changing fast — and most people don't know what that means for them. David Stitt breaks down why the old "offset everything" mindset is giving way to something smarter: right-sized systems built around your home or business's base load—the steady, everyday energy use you can actually control.Together, Randy and David cut through the confusion around net metering, financing, battery storage, and system sizing. David introduces Stitt Solar's Baseload Revolution — an incremental, affordable approach to solar that locks in real savings today while leaving room to grow as rates and technology evolve.You'll also hear:How to avoid fly-by-night installers and costly financing trapsWhat solar really means for your home's resale valueWhy starting small might be the smartest first move you makeHow a little clean power can go a long way—for your wallet and your communityWhether you're a homeowner, a business owner, or just solar-curious, this episode gives you the tools and confidence to take a clear-eyed first step toward energy independence.The bottom line: Solar is more accessible than ever — if you know how to approach it right. David Stitt shows you how.Key Takeaways:The rules have changed — and your strategy should too. Federal tax credits are sunsetting, and net metering is shifting. What worked two years ago may cost you money today.Start with your base load, not your whole bill. Right-sized solar covering your essential daily energy use delivers stronger economics than trying to offset everything at once.Bigger isn't better anymore. Oversizing your system in today's net metering environment means diminished returns. Starting small keeps you flexible for future upgrades, batteries, and policy shifts.Zero down doesn't always mean zero risk. New financing options make solar accessible — but high dealer fees and inflated costs from the wrong lender can quietly undermine your savings.Your installer is part of your long-term investment. Local, reputable partners mean better installation, real support, and peace of mind — whether you're optimizing your system or eventually selling your home.Important Links and Mentions on the Show:Stitt Solar: https://stittsolar.comStitt Group: https://thestittgroup.comStitt Solar FAQs: https://stittsolar.com/faqContact Stitt Solar for a free evaluation: https://stittsolar.com/contactArkansas PSC (Public Service Commission) – Utility Regulation InfoSubscribe to Stitt Happens for conversations that help you live smarter, save money, and embrace the future of clean energy.Stay connected:Sign up for the Stitt Solar newsletter (Coming Soon)Contact Stitt Solar for your FREE solar consultationFollow Stitt Solar on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedInSubscribe wherever you get your podcasts!Stitt Solar1301 S 8th St,Rogers, AR 72756Tel: 479.636.8745Email: <a href="mailto:info@stittsolar.com" rel="noopener n

Building Smarter: How Energy Efficient Homes Save You Money and Future Proof Your Life. EP2
About the Show:"The sticker price of a home is not the same as the cost to own it. When you build efficiently, you are essentially prepaying for your energy at a fixed cost for the next 30 years, rather than renting it from the utility company at a rate that goes up every single year."– David StittIn this second episode of Stitt Happens, Randy sits down with David Stitt, CEO of The Stitt Group and Stitt Solar, to talk about what actually goes into building an energy-efficient home in Northwest Arkansas—and why it matters more than you might think. They get into the real costs of homeownership beyond just your mortgage payment, the choices that make the biggest difference in your utility bills, and why what worked 20 years ago isn't going to cut it anymore. Whether you're planning to build, thinking about solar, or just curious about how to make your home work better for you, this conversation has some genuinely useful information.Episode Summary:Most people think about the cost of a home in terms of the purchase price or mortgage payment. But Randy and David spend this episode talking about all the other costs—the ones that hit your bank account every single month for as long as you live there.With Arkansas utility companies proposing major rate hikes and energy costs becoming less predictable, the conversation about how homes are built is shifting. David shares what he's learned over decades in the building industry: that building to "just code compliant" leaves a lot of money on the table and a lot of comfort out of your home. They talk through why certain building choices—from insulated concrete forms to energy recovery ventilators—actually translate to lower bills and healthier indoor air, not just feel-good buzzwords.The conversation covers battery storage, solar panels, and how net metering laws in Arkansas are changing what makes sense for homeowners. David even explains Stitt's two-year energy guarantee and the third-party modeling that backs it up.Whether you're building your forever home or figuring out how to make your current house more affordable to run, this episode gives you the questions to ask and the information to make better decisions.Key Takeaways:Code-built homes meet the legal minimum, but rarely deliver optimal performance or cost-efficiency.Monthly utility bills can add hundreds to a home’s true cost—energy efficiency isn’t just eco-friendly, it’s a financial strategy.Retrofitting a home after it’s built is far more expensive than doing it right from the start.Advanced insulation options like insulated concrete forms (ICF) greatly improve comfort, durability, and resilience to weather.Fresh air ventilation systems (ERVs) maximize health and comfort, especially important in high-allergen areas.Third-party HERS ratings provide homeowners unbiased proof of energy performance and projected savings.Stitt’s “net zero” approach means homes produce as much energy as they consume—often with solar and battery combos.Changes in net metering laws and utility rate structures make on-site battery storage increasingly smart and financially favorable.Solar works great in the Ozarks: we have more sunlight hours than Germany, one of the world’s solar leaders.Stitt Group offers a two-year energy bill guarantee—if the model misses, they pay the difference.Energy-efficient strategies apply to entry-level homes, forever homes, and everything in between.Important Links and Mentions on the Show:Stitt Solar: https://stittsolar.comStitt Group: https://thestittgroup.comStitt Solar FAQs: https://stittsolar.com/faqContact Stitt Solar for a free evaluation: https://stittsolar.com/contactArkansas PSC (Public Service Commission) – Utility Regulation InfoSubscribe to Stitt Happens for conversations that help you live smarter, save money, and embrace the future of clean energy.Stay connected:Sign up for the Stitt Solar newsletter (Coming Soon)Contact Stitt Solar for your FREE solar consultationFollow Stitt Solar on Facebook, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thestittgroup/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_

Arkansas Solar Revolution: Navigating Rising Energy Costs, Grid Reliability, and Clean Power Solutions. EP 1
About the Show:"The second you start to offset or you start to produce energy from another source that you have control over, you're moving closer and closer to the boat, so to speak. And you're just offsetting the potential risk of rising energy costs."– David StittFrom rising utility bills and grid reliability concerns to new clean energy options for your home or business, figuring out your next move can feel overwhelming. In this first episode of Stitt Happens, host Randy Wilburn talks with David Stitt, CEO of The Stitt Group and Stitt Solar, about practical ways Arkansans can take control of their energy costs and build more resilience.Whether you're a homeowner watching your electric bill climb, a business owner looking to cut overhead, or just someone trying to understand what's happening with energy in Arkansas, this conversation breaks down what you need to know and what you can actually do about it.Randy and David dig into the real issues affecting Arkansas energy customers right now - recent utility rate increase proposals, what's driving costs up, and why your electric bill has become such a big line item in your budget.David brings decades of experience in energy-efficient homebuilding and solar to help make sense of it all. He clears up common misconceptions about solar and battery storage (you don't have to go completely off-grid), explains how to start small and build from there, and walks through what "net zero plus" living actually means for regular people.They also talk about the policy landscape in Arkansas - how regulations have created some roadblocks but also new opportunities, and what solutions like virtual power plants could mean for grid stability and customer choice going forward.You'll come away understanding your options better and knowing some concrete next steps you can take, whether that's finally understanding your utility bill or exploring solar for your home or business.Key Takeaways:Rising Rates, Rising Stakes: Utility rate increases in Arkansas are making energy costs a central issue for families and businesses—understanding your options is more important than ever.Beyond Luxury—It’s Risk Management: Solar and battery systems aren’t just “nice-to-haves.” They’re strategic tools to manage blackouts, brownouts, and upward-spiraling bills.Every Bit Counts: You don’t have to leap to 100% solar. Even offsetting a portion of your electricity use builds control and savings over time.Understanding Your Utility Bill: Knowing what you're paying for—taxes, riders, delivery charges—empowers better decisions and reveals where you can make the biggest impact.Policy Matters: Regulations can either empower or hinder energy choice and affordability. Arkansas’s legislative shifts are shaping the incentives (or roadblocks) for installing solar.Energy Independence—Step by Step: Treat your clean energy journey like climbing a mountain—start with what’s doable, and build toward “net zero” as your comfort and resources grow.Don’t Vilify, Collaborate: The solar industry and utilities need each other. Solutions like “virtual power plants” show how cooperation can make the grid stronger for all.Efficiency First: You can’t “outproduce stupidity”—reduce waste at home or work before (or as) you invest in renewables.Choice Is the Future: Just as we now choose our ridesharing or streaming services, the future of energy is about consumer choice, diversity, and smarter options for all.Knowledge Is Power: Educating yourself—starting with your own utility bill—remains the single most powerful step toward energy autonomy.Important Links and Mentions on the Show:Article: SWEPCO Rate Increase Proposal Virtual Power Plants Overview: Learn more about how communities can partner with utilities for resilienceStitt Solar: https://stittsolar.comStitt Group: https://thestittgroup.comStitt Solar FAQs: https://stittsolar.com/faqContact Stitt Solar for a free evaluation: https://stittsolar.com/contactArkansas PSC (Public Service Commission) – Utility Regulation InfoSubscribe to Stitt Happ
