Greetings from Hamburg. Sometimes my timing of posts becomes a tale of future news articles. Take a look at the top story today that shows a German utility’s strategic move. My key takeaway was that this isn’t just a solar story, it’s about centralized versus distributed which I think is a great foreword for what the US marketplace will look like. We’ve already seen US utilities make moves for DG players, so don’t be surprised as it happens in the US.
