There’s some solar policy spinning going on in Maine. On a national level, the solar industry has to play a long game. This means that at times we have to give up some short term market certainty for a better market in the long run. It is easy to blame the ‘big solar companies’ but I wouldn’t be so fast to judge. I’ve been in the room with the utility where they try to dole out some small incentives and get the buy-in from the local installer in order to maintain their lock on the Statewide market. At the end of the day, politics is not a spectator sport.
