While the ITC in DC discussion warms up, the battles for the future of solar remain in States. Take a look at the flat out rejection in New Mexico and today’s lead with the fight in Nevada. Outgoing Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, in a rare move is getting into the State policy and advocates for the raise in NEM cap. It goes to show that battles are won but the ongoing growth will only continue to drive the importance of public policy. The companies that invest in policy (it isn’t cheap) are seeing returns on that investment plus it is great marketing, given that ~80% of Americans love solar.
