As we enter the final stretch before SPI, it is apparent to me and others that solar is very global and very flat. (sorry for those that aren’t Thomas Friedman fans) We are brought together by technology into a large but tight community of solar professionals but it is the similar financial product by market segment that makes us flat. Each geography has its gold rush, most of the time focused on a segment like utility scale or residential. In the US those gold rushes have turned into markets, sustainable ones. What is left in the US? Small and medium commercial rooftops, that is where the next gold rush will be, who will be there first?
