SunEnergy1 is helping state become a leader in the U.S. solar industry

Ahhh, to think, I often have since installing the early prototypes or on jobs where they were, back some forty years ago, and as we started incorporating energy saving techniques into homes and commercial buildings, same time frame, where this country would be if it hadn't allowed the special interests, same as today but with different meme's, to block the growth of that industry and allowed as we had so many others, right around that same time we started shipping off the trades from those many industries as well as the industries themselves. Now as we collapse from what we once were those that envied that are now moving rapidly forward with not only the products but the innovations of same that should already have been developed and further development including other clean energy sources, we'd be #1 and selling our products and expertise instead of having to import most of our needs!!

SunEnergy1 wants North Carolina to shine in solar power

Apr. 14, 2012 - MOORESVILLE They’re becoming part of North Carolina’s landscape: long ranks of solar panels, in fields and on rooftops, silently harvesting the sun’s energy.

SunEnergy1 is among the Charlotte-area companies pushing North Carolina to the upper ranks of the U.S. solar industry. Tucked among race shops in a Mooresville business park, the firm specializes in the large, commercial-scale power projects that are propelling the state’s solar growth.

North Carolina firms installed 8 megawatts of solar photovoltaic capacity in 2009, 31 megawatts in 2010 and 55 megawatts last year, ranking eighth in the nation. One megawatt is enough to power about 778 typical homes, but because solar systems produce energy only in daylight their actual output is less than their capacity.

Of the 1,264 North Carolina solar PV systems registered with the N.C. Utilities Commission through 2011, 258 are of commercial size (more than 10 kilowatts or one-hundredth of a megawatt). read more>>>

Add not only the forty years of blocking and the meme's but the obstruction now of so little private capital being invested, failure of free market capitalism but just what they wanted, as well as the politics of some, public financing and investments, who carry the buckets of tea for the special interests!
