This is your SolarWakeup for October 29th, 2019

A Vox Endorsement. In the latest installment of his series Vox reporter David Roberts brings his conclusion to paper that the way to solve utility woes in Northern California is through distributed generation. Take the case of the 93 year old living in a mobile home that had to buy an $800 generator to make it through the blackout, a few panels and storage would have likely done the trick and saved money throughout the year. How that infrastructure gets built out so all can benefit is obviously the next question.

Resi Market Growth, Pains. Roth is estimating multiple years of 25% growth in residential market and I concur with that assessment. How we, as an industry, ensure that the labor force is trained to build quality is the obvious question and we need training centers to do that. 

Investigate The Monopoly. As the PG&E stock price reaches record lows, market cap of $2billion, the CPUC is opening an investigation of the shutoffs. According to a Propublica report, there is little to no likely benefit of the shutoffs except for limiting shareholder liability, not actually reducing fire risk.

EV Plan. Interesting to see the Senate Minority Leader come out with a massive EV plan that is supported by this writer and many others in the industry. Let’s hope he finds room in his log of interest that the ITC should be supported as well.
