A slow April with 33MW for the month but 845MW for 2013 through April. The feedback from everyone this week about the commercial solar sector and innovative financing was helpful and may offer a glimpse into where the logjam is for future growth. Residential and Utility scale seem to be very competitive these days and developers are looking to the middle sized market for growth. Issues as told by readers include: bankability, transaction costs, customer acquisition and regulatory barriers. Have a great weekend!
