The good people at Solarbuzz report that Q4’11 installations will be about 800 Mega Watts of PV capacity in North America.
Solarzuzz also reports:
In Q4’11, ground-mount installations are forecast to have 38% of the market, followed by building-mount, non-residential systems (>100 kW), which will have 37% of the market. The ground-mount segment benefited from demand from Ontario and from large-scale installations in California and Arizona geared toward meeting the state RPS requirements.
If our solar-powered calculator is correct – that means about 300 megawatts of roof-top, commercial PV installations in just this quarter!
Boots on the Roof is running not one, but THREE new courses to support the growing volume of commercial projects:
- Commercial Solar, Business and Sales
- Commercial Solar PV Construction – MegaLab
- Commercial PV Design
If you are planning to expand into Commercial Rooftop Solar in 2012, we’d like to talk with you about how our new courses may support your plans.
