US Home Solar Nearing 1 GW (+ Other Solar News)
Aside from our extensive solar energy coverage, here are some more solar energy stories from around the interwebs that I wouldn’t want you to miss. Just adding a note regarding the first one, I’d just add that it’s almost shocking to me how far we’ve come in recent years. I started covering the solar industry in 2009 — it has changed so dramatically since then, and I think you’d have to be a lunatic to not realize that we are on the cusp of a massive distributed energy revolution. It’s especially great to see home solar power nearing 1 gigawatt of capacity. The revolution is beginning!
