EnergySage Releases Findings of 2016 Solar Installer Survey
EnergySage released today the results of its second annual Solar Installer Survey, the largest and most comprehensive business climate survey of solar companies nationwide. The report captures key observations of local, regional and national solar installers in both residential and commercial markets. More than 360 experienced solar installers across the United States responded to the survey, which was fielded and authored by EnergySage in partnership with pv magazine.Â
Among the central findings, over half of solar companies surveyed (53%) report that their largest obstacle in closing sales is the confusion created by their competitors and its impact on consumer confidence overall. Similarly, the survey reflects an increasing trend noted in last year's report: customer acquisition has become more challenging due to increased competition and consumers reviewing more quotes before buying. However, the study also reveals that installer confidence levels have increased nationwide in the last year. Â Full Press Release:

PVinsights: No meaningful transactions to show solar cell prices rising
Solar panel prices continue to drop slightly this week. Although the demand in Japan and India remains solid in near term, such demand still hard to reverse the downward price trend due to the competition initiated by major suppliers. In China, although many anticipate for installation rush before the FiT deadline June 30th, currently there is no any sign indicates that the demand has significantly jumped. In Japan and India, under the traditional hot season, major suppliers are still competing on prices to bid the orders with a mild descent. On the other hand, solar panel prices in EU, US, and he emerging countries are comparatively more pressurized. The persistent competition among major module players is resulted in lowing tariff rates for recently released PV projects. As the result, overall solar panel prices this week continue to drop.

New Interactive Atlas Puts Spotlight on Planet's Solar Power Potential
Peter Koekoek for Daily Planet: A new web-based tool provides free access to accurate data about the solar power potential of your location – or any other part of the world.
Recent research has revealed how Americans across the political aisle are united by renewable energy. Roughly the same amount of people with rooftop solar power installations are Republicans and Democrats.
But geographically, not all places on the planet equally suitable for solar power – and that does not only include the amount of solar radiation that reaches the surface. The air temperature and terrain elevation may also impact how well solar equipment will fare in a particular area.
In some regions, less solar panels are needed to generate the same amount of power compared to other areas. The Global Solar Atlas now provides you with a colourful world map that allows zooming in on areas of up to one kilometre. Cont'd...
