As you enter this long weekend, make sure to think about how you and your business can help the veterans of our armed services. I know that our industry does quite a bit in the form of training and hiring veterans but let us all take a moment and see how we can do more.

Complicated C&I Projects. I wanted to make sure to point out some recent announcements of success for Black Bear Energy. Many of you know Drew from BBE and his work from Prologis and now Black Bear. He’s been working hard for a long time to get large property owners to do more solar and this set of relatively small projects in multiple States shows that the hard work is paying off.
Growth In Residential. Nice interview by Bloomberg with Sunnova’s CEO, John Berger, about the California residential market. It is becoming incredibly clear, as California slapped down an anti-solar piece of legislation this week, that residential solar advocates cannot stop fighting until retail rate net metering and retail choice for consumers is available in every State. Moreover, anyone that is in solar but not residential should advocate for those same exact rules. Because if you want solar to grow you need non-solar professionals to advocate for your issue.
Growth In Community Solar. See above, this is a perfect example of a jealous neighbor with his shaded roof wanting to get solar as well. If they can’t put the panels on the roof then they’ll sign up for community solar.
Have a great weekend, before you leave for your vacation please make sure your colleagues are reading SolarWakeup and book your ticket to visit us in Chicago for SolarWakeup Live! on June 21st.
