“Solar doesn’t work too well in New England”
Actually it works just fine in NE, have wired several systems myself.
Here’s the thing, a lot of scam companies are gone (or going soon), those that remain are providing better products, service. One of the big improvements is roof mounted microinverters - they convert DC to AC one panel at a time, they are wired in parallel so that if one panel is shaded the whole string no longer goes down like older systems.
Eventually only the strong will remain.
Whatever works!
If the principles of capitalism are followed, then good stuff that works will prevail, and the dross will fall away.
Unfortunately, it has been the policy of the present administration to employ CRONY “capitalism”, and use taxpayers’ money to support scams and boondoggles, and thus discouraging private enterprise.
Whatever happened to the photovoltaic fabric that was being developed a few years ago. It came in a roll and was around a buck back then.
