Solar Growing Up. Florida has the strictest building codes in the Country and part of that is testing your product in Florida test labs and having the State approve them. Solar has never done that in the past but now that is changed. The second biggest residential solar market in the Country is getting the solar market to grow up and I’m glad Quick Mount was able to be a part of that.
Pushing Your HOA. A state rule preventing HOAs from limiting solar is key, but not all states have done that. Know your rights and fight for them at the legislative level if you need to.
Attacking The C&I Market. One fund is saying good bye to PURPA deals and replacing them with C&I. As we see installed projects trading in the secondary market, I wonder what effect this will have on the expansion of the development funnel for projects and how they’ll be financed. Open Energy is working on a new tool that prices C&I projects for developers to allow them to get deals moving forward without having to go through an entire underwriting process.
Farewell, Again. Rick Perry is out. Officially.
If Only. I had a dollar for everytime I said years ago that we should go all in on ERCOT development. Shoulda coulda woulda.
