Busy week at Quick Mount HQ so quick tidbits today.
South Carolina. Governor McMaster signed the compromise bill years in the making. Great to see some solar friends standing front and center. Congrats to the few that did the work for the many! (Pay your trade association dues folks!)
Tax Credits In Play. The Senate, seeing the light coming from that strong House letter, is putting the start of tax credit reform on the table including a longer glide path (read extension) on the table. There was some quick and strong work done in the background and trade groups did a great job responding forcefully to the House letter backing the legislators with the industry support they needed. The folks at SEIA deserve special praise for their leadership here from staff, executives and the board!
Innovation. Too late to be the primary driver. Even innovation requires commercialization and derisking that takes too long.
A Job With Reward. Join Vote Solar as the Interior West Senior Director. If you are good at your job, no doubt you will be, you will be able to say to your grandkids, friends and/or family that you did an amazing job fighting climate change. Apply today, full job description here.
