It’s been a busy year in the solar industry. A solar system is installed on a roof every four minutes in the U.S., a figure that will continue to drop even further in coming years.
The fight over net metering has reached a fevered pitch and, love it or hate it, the Ivanpah power project started producing power and was synched to the grid earlier this fall.
As we pause during the harvest season to give thanks for family, friends and health, Greentech Media also reached out to the Twitterverse to find out what the solar industry is grateful for in 2013.
Do you agree with the responses below? If there’s something else you’re grateful for in solar, let us know in the comments or @greentechmedia.
