About two years ago, I wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, The Hole In The Rooftop Solar-Panel Craze, where I argued that the federal government should stop subsidizing the rooftop solar-panel industry because greener, more economic alternatives are available (like utility-scale solar).
The article struck a nerve among solar advocates (see, for example, here, here and here), but two years later, it looks like consumers and state regulators have finally caught on. The rooftop solar-panel craze can no longer be characterized as a craze, and there are ominous signs pointing to trouble ahead for the industry.
