We asked around our offices to find out from people:
What is your solar wish for 2010?
“I wish for better incentives in VT and low functioning states.” -Therese, Accounting
“My solar wish is that we’ll see signs of a true cultural revolution in the US toward people taking personal responsibility for building a clean energy future, vs continually expecting government or someone else to solve our problems. Solutions exist already, we just need people to invest in them.” -Gaelan, Marketing
“My solar wish is for more people to have awareness of the reality of climate change and how solar can be a part of the solution to a very real problem.” -Dawn, Marketing
“I wish for some consistency in the residential solar rebate & incentive marketplace.” – Tim, Sales
“My solar wishes for 2010 are for Reliable Panel Availability, Continued Quality and good Customer Service throughout our Vendors, and more innovative products that will make solar simpler and more accessible for the masses. It would nice if somebody could come up with a great way to recycle Solar panels, as some get damaged during transportation and eventually ones being made today will be obsolete.” – Amos, Installation
“My solar wish is for all homeowners to contact us to learn more about solar energy and explore the potential for a solar energy solution for their home.” – Deb, Sales
“My wish is for global agreement on actions needed to diminish climate change and the leadership in America to act!” – Dori, Co-Founder
“My solar wish is for government backed loan guarantees for solar projects to stimulate the private banking sector to provide solar financing.” – John, Sales
“I wish for solar energy to become a larger part of our overall energy policy in the US.” – Amanda, Marketing

As a solar owner, I would find it helpful if groSolar would regularly scan the available resources such as “Renewable Energy Weekly-Renewable Energy World.com” and “Renewable and Alternative Energy News” for articles that address news about residential solar issues and make them available on your blog or website. I enjoy reading about how Massachusetts is addressing the REC situation, new state initiatives, home energy monitoring, advances in solar module construction, etc. To have this information in one place, on your website, would help solar project owners to make others aware of the benefits involved in solar projects.

Hi Michael,
As part of the new website design we are trying to incorporate more information about local rebates and incentives on the “How to Buy” page. You also make a great suggestion of including links to these articles on the blog which we can definitely do. Look for links to articles soon (by late next week). Thank you!
Best,
Amanda
