It’s costing us a little more money to buy these panels, but we are supporting the American economy, we are supporting the American worker and we’re reinvesting those dollars back in America, said Jim Petersen, Founder of PetersenDean. It’s that simple. I want to make sure that our products stand the test of time and that our customers are happy with it and that’s why we choose to go American. That’s what Solar4America is all about. Its about lowering our electric bills, but its also about American jobs, American panels and reinvesting in America. Its something we deeply care about and its why we felt compelled to ask for these resignations. The full letter is included with this news release and will be delivered to SEIA on Tuesday, December 16, 2014.

The solar company also has invested $20 million in Colorado-based Tendril. SunPower makes panels, and it also develops and oversees the construction of solar power plants for utilities and large business owners or government agencies. Its getting into the energy storage market by buying batteries and bundling them with its solar equipment. There are several ways SunPower plans to make money from its partnership with Tendril. It could allow its network of installers to use the data to target home or small business owners, showing those perspective customers how much money they could save by installing SunPower solar panels their rooftops, said Ivo Steklac, SunPowers vice president and general manager of residential and commercial energy solutions, in an interview today. The solar company also plans to line up utilities who will use the data to offer solar installation and energy management services and hire either SunPower or SunPowers dealers to install the equipment, Steklac added.

SolarCity ‘s acquisition of Zep Solar lowered installation time and cost, making solar more accessible to consumers. The lease was an innovation taken from other industries and adapted to solar, making it accessible for millions of Americans. Another financing innovation was the YieldCo, which has brought low cost financing to projects large and small. When they were launched, many of these products got little attention, but they were key to the solar revolution. Better data is going to drive better solar energy SunPower is buying into a company to access data, but this is something that will grow organically as well. SolarCity will likely use data from hundreds of thousands of installations to learn how and when to use solar energy in the future.
