Pointing out an interesting fact about the growth of Google’s Project Sunroof, the rooftop PV potential tool, that doubles as a lead gen business for Google. I am happy to see a Google support an engineer’s 20% project that involves solar. My preference would have been an acquisition of one of the several companies that does this. Solar startups like this are not crazy expensive and it would have been a moonshot for startups that look at the solar market. Imagine a Google acquisition of a startup in our space, it would have turned the tide for cleanweb companies that are already involved.
