Solar funding Sells In Hours
Investors drive for income above the meager CDs, Treasuries absorbed the SMALL SOLAR funding online quickly.
my professional work included more than a decade dealing with the very important municipal electric utility in Los Angeles including multi billion dollar contracts for electricity generation, electricity transmission [getting it from the producer to the home or business] plus the water utility side of the utility infrequently. my retirement in 1998 ended all professional work and I focused on raising our now 4 adult children of whom the last graduates college in 1 month.
some of my threads refer to BIG SOLAR vs Small solar.
BIG SOLAR
Big Solar means the industry becomes the solar electricity producer or contract administrator involving hugh centralized solar electricity generation sites. Small solar is the individual home owner like me installing their own home solar electric system
Obama's impact
Obama via the Department of Energy and financing via a puppet bank has promoted BIG SOLAR projects while including tax credits for small solar. Big SOLAR in California dominated the funding until last years when small solar from zero down leasing skyrocketed.
LED LIGHTING
This lower demand from converting to led lighting will impact demand gradually as bulbs are replaced or if mandated by a new law. Based on the CFL recent history, the transition will most likely take a decade or more.

Mosaic Sells Out California Solar Projects In Hours
11 April 2013
Mosaic, an online marketplace that connects investors to solar projects, says it fully subscribed its first solar investments available exclusively to residents of California, with $157,750 invested in less than six hours. The project was the first in the Golden State Series, a $100 million series of solar investments that securities regulators in California recently approved.
Mosaic's first project in the California series was a 114 kW solar project on the roof of the Ronald McDonald House in San Diego. The project offered a 4.5% estimated annual return to investors, Mosaic says.
In January, Mosaic launched its first return on investment solar projects to the public, selling out all three in less than 24 hours with over $300,000 invested. Since then, Mosaic has partnered with Standard & Poor's, DuPont and Distributed Sun, among others, as part of the truSolar working group to standardize risk assessment and develop a score similar to a credit rating for each solar project.
