About Chris Meehan
Chris Meehan is a clean energy journalist who has covered solar and renewable energy since 2010. He is a former writer for SolarReviews.
At EcoGen America, Chris explains how solar works financially for homeowners, including how exported electricity is credited and how utility rules affect the value of a system. His guide to net metering is an example of this homeowner-focused reporting.
Chris is also credited as a reviewer on selected guides, including solar permits and inspections and solar panels in HOA neighborhoods. Those credits identify his contribution to those articles; they do not imply that he reviews every page on EcoGen.
His wider writing includes sustainability and outdoor reporting for publications such as Sun & Wind Energy and Treeline Review. He studied English, environmental studies and theater at Colorado State University. See his LinkedIn profile and our editorial standards for further context on his background and EcoGen’s approach to sourcing and review.
