The naked roofs of the buildings we see when landing at the next airport. That’s the opportunity ahead for the solar industry and the words of Billy Parish. I couldn’t have said it better myself as it represents the future of the solar industry. Not only because the roofs are so wide open but also because that real estate has not better use than having solar put on it. That’s what it was all about yesterday. It was Father’s Day but it was also the Summer Solstice and therefore the day we celebrate #PutSolarOnIt. From The President of the United States to movie stars, everyone around the world found a place that should #PutSolarOnIt.- Bloomberg: First Solar and SunPower’s 8point3 Energy IPO Nets $420 Million

We knew it was coming and it’s big news. The Sunrun S-1 IPO filing has found its way into the hands of the Wall Street Journal. It was confidentially filed earlier this year and now the 2nd largest residential solar company will make its rounds to the investors that will buy the company stock when it goes public. With almost twice as many contracts as Vivint Solar, Sunrun makes the case for an ever expanding residential solar market, most recently announcing its entry into South Carolina. Notably, SolarCity and Sunrun have the most amazing public policy teams and can be credited for many of the net metering victories that keep solar alive around the Country. Best of luck to the Sunrun team and stay tuned for more as the news comes out
