Jam packed with trends that you need to follow in 2015. The first is another home security company (Protection 1) getting into residential solar. This is additive to their cash flow business as the race to own the homeowner continues. Any visitor to CES last week can verify the connected home trend. The second is the CPUC allowing utilities to own electric vehicle charging stations. A big win and one I support. For the first time, utilities take new market share from oil/fuel companies. Losing energy sales to solar is nothing compared to what EV charging will add to demand growth, charging stations are a key part of that infrastructure.
