When it comes to solar installations on small and medium businesses (SMBs), the 30-kilowatt to 500-kilowatt range has been a no-man’s land for solar installers.
According to Lyndon Rive, SolarCity’s CEO, it’s been “difficult to service this market cost-effectively,” despite the SMB market being “bigger than the large commercial business market.”
The CEO notes that many commercial jobs in the 100-kilowatt to 300-kilowatt range are turned down by leading solar providers. As Shayle Kann, senior VP of GTM Research, has pointed out, PV systems below 1 megawatt have dropped in national market share of commercial installations over the last few years.
