It is time for the holidays and everything is slowing down, especially solar news content. However, it is time to support the people that are helping you keep your jobs and keeping them profitable. Consider giving to Vote Solar before the end of the year, even a few dollars.

Imagine if your financial advisor approached you to invest all of your 401k into a speculative stock. It is an idea that would never pass muster because the volatility would be too high to invest all of your money in. Natural gas was well over $10/mmBtu just a few years ago. The price volatility is enormous and upward movement potential is very possible. Then why are regulators and commerce department pushing us towards 100% natural gas energy portfolios? Florida is on track to be over 70% natural gas. Not having price stability like solar in the portfolio is malpractice!

A few months ago, several projects in South America were announced to proceed with financing without committed energy contracts, selling energy only on the spot/wholesale markets. With the increase of Latin American & Caribbean solar markets, how is your company managing the change in financing structures, handling the political risks and entering these markets. There is no doubt that a lot of solar will be built here, how will you get a piece of it?

The solar market in the US has grown. Another record quarter and now for the first time on path to be larger than the German solar market. The question seems to be where the market is growing and how other contractors can benefit from this larger market. Tell me where you see the hot spots and where you still see weakness.
