Presented by T-Top Buddy, Thanks For Your Support This Week
Enjoy your weekend. See you all in the Bay Area next week.
The Good News. After years of fighting, lawsuits, protests and PR fights, Nevada’s solar market is once again open for business. Arguably biggest turn around in solar policy fights where a win actually followed a loss. Most other State battles settle before the complete demise. That’s the untold story about policy in solar, we win a lot. Teams in Nevada saw an opportunity to turn this around and fought the long game to get this done. Congrats to all.
The Bad News. As everyone in solar knows, bankruptcy lenders for Suniva are trying to hurt American families from lowering energy costs and providing jobs to hardworking Americans. The 201 petition to increase the price of modules to $0.78/watt would cost 88,000 solar professionals their jobs. That is the opposite of what we should all want and what we need as a Country. It is indefensible at all levels and politicians need to be educated about this.
Annual Energy Report. BNEF has published their annual energy report that estimates clean energy taking a 7.4trillion dollar share of the 10trillion power market in the next 22 years. 74% of all power investment will be clean energy! That’s a stunning statistic.
