I get excited about big deals in solar. Not only about the big projects that make global companies grow, like in Brazil last week, but the corporate deals that make investors wonder why they didn’t invest a bit more like DBL Investors. DBL, as you may know, were early in Tesla, SolarCity and also in NEXTracker. NEXTracker was acquired by manufacturer, Flextronics, this week for a whopping $330million. As the US market adds 1,400MW in Q2 of 2014 and surpasses 20GW of capacity, the market is huge and ready to make investors a ton of money.
