Congrats to you and to your son! On the other hand, he might have picked a better time of year to take take job that puts him on rooftops. My hat is off to all of the folks out there installing in the northern winter.and my son just landed one of these installer jobs. Lots of applicants for only a couple of openings. Great local company to work for. This solar thing might work out after all
Our local solar installer that put in both of our systems went from a crew of 4 four years ago to 35 and hiring now. It's great to see them growing.And highly distributed geographically.
Every little town has a plumber, an electrician, a few carpenters, and... a solar installer?
Why not? If the PV system materials prices keep falling and the price of electricity keeps climbing... I'm sure the neighbors in the small town that I'm going to install my next PV system in will start asking questions about that "solar gizmo" on my roof, the day I start installing it.Every little town has a plumber, an electrician, a few carpenters, and... a solar installer?
That said, half of the states are darn near to zero solar energy.
FP&L?Last statistic I saw on it said that my electric utility (one of the largest in the "Sunshine State") had more than 4 million customers and of those 4M customers, only 3,750 with PV systems. My utility and the others in the state also managed to convince the public service commission to discontinue the small solar rebate program they had been offering. Now, my utility is trying to buy up an electric utility in Hawaii, and also get into the fracking business.
