Solar data can be quite the talk on social media sometimes. And some of the time, the data seems real off. Yesterday, it was said a total of 400,000 homes had solar in 2013. I think that number is low and way off. Here is my math. SolarCity announced 92,998 contracts at the end of 2013. GTM had SolarCity at 32% market share of 3rd party owned solar. Which means 2013 installed 290,000 systems alone. Let’s help get our research teams put some better data together, it’s good for all of us.
