Good Vibes. Read the good vibes and realize the work continues. Reach out to your rep and put in the work to extend the ITC. If your company joins the ITC Council, contact me and I’ll add your logo to the newsletter for a month.
Solar Sales This Week. This week and next will be the largest solar sales week in the history of the US market. I remain surprised that the politicians haven’t stepped in to stop the PG&E blackouts but I guess if they step in and a fire happens, then they’re done as well. In the meantime, some 800k customers which mean 2.5million people will likely lose power for a few days at least. The week following will have every homeowner in Northern California looking for a quote for solar plus storage. Tell me again how we don’t need the ITC and long term net metering/rate schedule certainty?
