More changes coming to the busy residential solar sector. Last week SolarCity announced it was getting into grid services including some consulting practice segments. This could look similar to some of the moves that Edison International has made recently including personnel additions to the energy practice. The big move came from NRG, through NRG Home Solar and EVGo. NRG is getting out of the financing business and will be passing that off to Sunrun and Spruce while focusing on three northeastern States. EVGo was sold to Vision Ridge, which is led by Reuben Munger, the hedge fund manager and EV Company CEO that now has a few plays in the cleantech space. I hope to see you all in Phoenix for the solar summit. I will be having some live SolarWakeup sessions where you can help choose the stories.
