Pointing to “exciting renewable energy announcements” from several major companies, from Kaiser Permanente to Apple, Google, and Citigroup, Doyle notes that “market forces have aligned to make distributed solar power a viable, strategic option.” He lists less expensive, more scalable technology, grid instability and weather catastrophes, volatile fuel prices, and sustainability goals as factors that are drawing major corporations to clean energy.
“A combination of all these factors has led to an increase in renewable investment, including a rise in the number of companies embracing distributed generation as a strategic, economic, and more sustainable energy option,” he writes.
