The solar market is about to boom and a few opportunistic entrepreneurs are positioning themselves to be ready when it happens. Small businesses around the country are scrambling to get ahead of the game and their competition by getting trained in solar electric installation and becoming dealers and installers of solar panels.

It’s not just about being “green” anymore

In the past, the “green” movement had driven much of the business in the solar industry, but now government initiatives, utility incentives, and technological advances are creating a perfect storm for the businesses that are ready to act.

The steady drop in solar equipment prices due to advances in technology and increased demand have set the solar price point to an area where it’s not just about being “green” anymore, solar actually makes sense as a strategic investment. The great news is quickly spreading to consumers while electrical contractors, roofers, and energy consultants expand their businesses to offer solar upgrades to handle the demand.

“The Rising Tide Floats All Boats”

In addition to being a growing industry, solar is a fun business to be a part of. Former competitors are acting as partners and businesses are helping each other out because this rising tide is floating all solar boats. As solar becomes more popular and mainstream, everyone involved is coming out as a winner. I’ve never been a part of a more friendly industry.
