My latest article for SolarReviews is called "Why Titan Solar and Other Major Bankruptcies Are Not the Death of Residential Solar." Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gx8WBc7r In the article, I argue that several trends will help us see success: ✅ The industry is (finally) waking up and taking steps to curb bad actors. ✅ Regulators are starting to pass solar consumer protection laws. ✅ Companies with poor operations and business models are failing while better companies are succeeding. ✅ Retail electricity prices are higher than ever, and demand is not going away. ✅ The underlying technology and manufacturers remain strong. During the course of writing, I spoke with Shawn O'Brien, Dean Chiaravallotti, and Aaron Davis, all of whom said we're not done seeing high-profile solar companies going out of business—but that there are also great companies doing excellent work that will see success as the residential solar industry continues to mature. I think NABCEP: North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners, Solar Insure, and Firefly Solar are among those great companies. Thanks for your input, guys!
