This is your SolarWakeup for January 6th, 2014

There are good vibrations in 2014 for solar. No longer the underdog, solar is coming on strong and ready to go in the new year. While 60 Minutes tries to get cheap ratings with a cleantech hit piece, it hardly deserves a response. A coordinate renewables response may come out but don’t expect a SEIA press release on the topic, we are beyond it at this point. Onward!

This is your SolarWakeup for January 2nd, 2014

Solar farms to supply the grid, solar on your house to supply your usage at home and on your business for when you are at work. Now use that energy for your electric car (a Tesla perhaps?) but now put solar on your electric car! That is exactly what Ford is going to do and unveil at the CES show next year. As a business point, I drive a volt and have a US Bank operating lease (they took the $7,500 tax credit) for the car. Maybe solar on a car will present a lease opportunity for residential lease providers? Any lawyers want to opine on the ITC for solar cars?
