With the new state laws on solar leasing, thousands of customers would have to start paying property taxes on the solar panels that have been installed on their rooftops. Customers would now have to pay an estimated $150 a year in taxes for a leased residential solar array and...

---

As in most industries, there are front runners and innovators. There are also the majority the followers out to make a quick dollar. Unfortunately most of the customers that have had solar installed to date, have had it installed by companies that have gone out of business or they soon will be.

Now I don't mean by the first company in your county that installed a solar battery or some other technology that has been heavily in use in Europe for...

The Dominoes Keep Falling - NRG, Sungevity, Direct Energy

---

Another week has come and gone for us at Solar Wolf Energy. Another dozen or more applicants to work here from yet another solar company closing down. On one side we of course like being right, we of course like that some of our competitors are going under.

We would be lying in business if we said we didn't enjoy it. However, we do realize on a human level that these companies employ real and decent folks. That is the only part we are not happy...

Solar Wolf In 2017

---

As 2016 wraps up I look back at our company, the people that have come in and improved it and the people that have improved our company by leaving as well. It is amazing what 12 months can do, can teach us, or how much time can test us.

Our 2016 revs have been completely obliterated by the goals we set at the end of 2015. Our new significantly higher target is one that I would have thought have been just unattainable last year for 2017. Well...
