Solar is growing (adding another 1.3GW in Q3) and solar is disrupting the utilities (numbers seem overstated). But the best news in what may be the most ironic solar story of the year in 2014 is that the US Department of Commerce and US Department of Energy with BOTH Secretaries are leading a clean energy trade mission to…. (wait for it)…..CHINA! Are you kidding me? The US Government at the behest of select few is imposing tariffs on these guys and we’re going on a trade mission?
