This is your SolarWakeup for July 10th, 2014

I think we need to continue to look at the role of grid operators (utilities) play in the solar business. Intersolar is an interesting place to look at that because the show promoter is not directly tied to the money coming from utilities. I think EDF is right in today’s opinion story that utilities need to change, mostly on the fact that solving their solar non-problem is to own solar (behind the meter) assets as ratepayer cost recovered. UOG (utility owned generation) HAS to be focused on centralized solar farms, controlling behind the meter assets means controlling the market growth and that is bad for everyone in solar, including the bands that battled tonight at Intersolar.
