Solar Companies Fight For Their Future
The best solar panel installers Phoenix Arizona has to offer, have teamed up to find solutions to the current solar industry challenges.
Although the conditions in Arizona seem perfect for the solar industry, utility companies are dimming the future for residential and commercial solar installation companies.
Phoenix Arizona has over 300 sunny days, laws that support the growth of solar energy development, and thousands of applicants on waiting lists for solar panels; all of the perfect elements to establish a sustainable solar industry.
A study conducted by GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association claims Arizona is doing really well in regards to solar installations.
However, Shayle Kann from GTM Research, contradicts the study results and makes the statement that utility companies are both the cause and problem with the potential future for the solar industry.
Owners of Solar Installation Companies are claiming that APS and SRP companies have exceeded their time-line goals to comply with the Arizona Renewable Energy standard to produce 15% percent of their retail energy from renewable sources by the year 2025 with a percentage of that energy coming from commercial and residential solar panel installations owned by persons other than the corporation.
They say now that SRP and APS are ahead of the game they have discontinued incentive programs until further notice.
Solar Companies have united and are working to create ways to save their businesses while they wait for the utility companies to reallocate the incentives.
In the mean time, most of the manufacturers confirm they're getting tons of demand, and most of it is coming from utilities.
SRP, for one, is looking exclusively at photovoltaics for power plants.
Utility companies that put a freeze on the solar incentives, fluctuate their incentive program prices, and in some cases refuse to pay monies promised to consumers, negatively affect the solar installation industry in a number of ways: Sales teams can not in good faith quote the cost on panel installations.
Public trust declines because of the confusing incentive programs and reports of people not getting the incentives they were promised.
Less people can afford solar installation when the utility companies don't provide the incentives.
Arizona Biz Journals columnist Patrick O'Grady writes, "The question now is what's going to give, the industry or the incentives? We'll find out in about six months when all the jobs from the current levels have dried up and we'll see what demand is like.
" Solar Companies are working hard to make sure that they keep their companies a float and keep "green" jobs thriving for Arizona citizens.
