and its product, Sol Siding. Industry The solar power industry itself is a growing one, especially in the United States. During Q1 2011,
photovoltaics produced 66% more power than it did at the same time in 2010 (Koch, 2011). The two largest factors driving the growth have included equipment cost decline; to that
end, commercial installations are seeing huge growth (Koch, 2011). Residential installations didnt suffer, however - they grew 21% quarter-over-quarter in Q3, 2011 (U.S. Solar Market Insight, 2011).
A third quarter 2011 report issued by the Solar Energy Industries Association pointed out that, through the third quarter (the most recent stats available), the U.S.
solar market installed more than 1 gigawatt of grid-connected photovoltaics; which surpassed the 2010 annual total of 887 megawatts (U.S. Solar Market Insight, 2011). Though the news is good, there
is questions about the industrys growth, especially keeping in mind that the 1603 Treasury Program, which offered federal tax breaks for solar projects, expired at the end of 2011 (U.S.
Solar Market Insight, 2011). The main problem with anything dealing with solar is, however, getting that stuff connected to already existing
grids - you can have the greatest photovoltaics in the world, but if you cant get the power to the homes, they dont make sense. As such, utility installations in
Q3 2011 grew by 325%, the largest growth of any segment (U.S. Solar Market Insight, 2011). Twenty-three utility projects were connected in Q3, most of which took place in Arizona,
California and New Mexico (U.S. Solar Market Insight, 2011). More than 500 megawatts of utility photovoltaics are under construction in the United States, with anticipated completion in early 2012 (U.S.
