Deep dives

Overview of the Solar Industry 15 years ago

In the podcast, Mike Hall, co-founder of Anza Renewables, reflects on the solar industry 15 years ago. At that time, the US solar industry was small, with annual installs of only around one megawatt, making it an $8 million industry. The industry was just starting to move away from its off-grid hippie grower market roots and transitioning into contributing to the power mix. However, the industry was still immature, with supply chains and products that were difficult to install and had high failure rates.
