Another amazing day in solar with yet another sign that our industry is mainstream. Germany utility giant, RWE, has take a minority equity position in Conergy (a great company with epic growth in my biased opinion). A significant departure from what other commercial solar/utility transactions has looked like in the past where most if not all where majority/acquisitions. But the important takeaway is that solar is part of the energy sector and here to stay, making it mainstream across the world from Asia to Europe and the Americas.
