“We all need to come together and fight for solar” is the message from NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton. I can’t agree more. One of the biggest takeaways from the great GTM conference this week is that success is leading some companies struggling to compete resorting to tactics of hoping for the death of the ITC. One company vowed to fight for a lower 10% of the ITC, with the help of the solar friendly Senator Ted Cruz. If you don’t like the ITC, get out of solar. If you can’t handle the tax equity market, admit the shortcoming and find a partner.
