Check out more SolarWakeup on Snapchat! @SolarWakeup. Another great way for us to have a conversation about solar rumors, insights and more. Follow us today! I got into the solar industry through a novel thin film product, Uni-Solar mostly due to the impact that solar could have on the roofing industry. In 2006, roofers held the key to the C&I market including residential. Nobody knew anything about warranties or how to ensure roofs would be kept up. Almost every roofer tried and got out but also almost every manufacturer made a play as well. I could list the partnership attempts down the line but if you go to the roofing expo, you will see less solar than you did in 2008. Dow exiting their solar shingle play makes me think how badly the roofing sector mistimed the entry into solar.
