You have to give credit to Elon Musk. Right after getting massive economic development help for the Tesla gigafactory, New York is going to pony up for the SolarCity manufacturing plant in Buffalo. After the news of the package went public yesterday, it is interesting to see that the plant has already broken ground.

Solarworld is at it again. When the company isn’t busy trying to ruin solar with its trade wars, Solarworld has decided to go on a PR revisionist tour. While most manufacturers learned from past issues and saw great promise to get into projects downstream; Solarworld is busy warning about its earnings and selling product at little to no profit to grow volume. CEO Frank Asbeck may have a bronze lion on his desk but when it comes to being the king of solar, Asbeck and Solarworld are fooling nobody with their flawed sense of reality.

I’ve long thought that if the energy industry doesn’t adapt to the coming age of distributed energy, that grid defection would become a necessity for solar and others. Apparently the threat of grid defection has now overcome the “threat to growth” as Edison Electric Institute puts it. Why? Just this week, the Executive Vice President of EEI came up with a different talking point about solar. No longer is the group against cost shifting, just “unreasonable cost shifting”. There must be more to it and why the change in tune.

Yesterday brought together upwards of 300,000 climate warriors to the streets of NYC. Some reports had the number closer to 600,000 marching for climate. The People’s Climate March included people of all walks of life and all ages. For most of us in solar, the environmental piece most always gets brushed aside but I wonder if that is about to change. Will homeowners and businesses make a climate decision to go solar? What do you think, let me know!
