Utilities’ solar policies, market prices, power demand affect states’ solar growth

摘要

A new report shows three Southeast states among the least friendly for solar development, but others in the region are among the most friendly. An industry observer attributes the difference to how incumbent power companies approach renewables, but market fundamentals – power prices and demand – may also play a role. Six Southeast states rank among the bottom 18 in House Method’s ranking of solar-friendly states, while five other Southeast states rank among the top 19. House Method provides research on home service providers such as home warranty, pest control, lawn service and solar energy providers.
