One of the studies we might like to see is the turnover rate for new solar installation companies. Exactly how well can new solar contractors expect to do in today’ssolar marketplace?
When I first entered the solar market in 2008, there were two commercial solar projects in San Antonio and less than a dozen residential projects. After CPS Energy started their solar rebate program (then paying $3 per AC watt), the solar market began to grow. The cost of buying a solar PV system for the consumer at that time ranged from $6-$9 per DC watt, compared with pricing today in the $2.50-$3.50 per DC watt range.
