And given the mainstream<br \/>\nmedia\u2019s obsession with the &#8220;The U.S. is falling from grace&#8221; storyline, you might be fooled into thinking<br \/>\nthat there has not even been a sliver of a silver lining to our mess.<\/p>\n<p>But you would be wrong.<\/p>\n<p>According to Solarbuzz\u2019s United States 2011 PV market report, the domestic <strong>PV market is set to double<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> in 2011. Wow!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s moving the market?<\/h3>\n<p>Lots of stuff, including incentives and changes in local, state, and federal<br \/>\npolicies and priorities. Although Germany and Italy still lead the U.S. in terms of the solar photovoltaic<br \/>\nmarket, experts project that the U.S. domestic market will blossom to become 12% of the world\u2019s PV<br \/>\nmarket by 2015.<\/p>\n<h3>It looks like the solar revolution.<\/h3>\n<p>Much-ballyhooed in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and early aughts \u2013 is finally<br \/>\nupon us. The PV industry has benefited significantly from treasury cash grants and investment tax<br \/>\ncredits. Other drivers include Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), which spiked PV market growth<br \/>\nin 2010 and 2011. Although California still dominates the PV market, CA\u2019s share is dropping due to<br \/>\nadvances in states like New Jersey, Arizona, and Colorado. It looks like everyone is getting into the solar<br \/>\ngame \u2013 and that\u2019s a good thing, for Californians, and for the rest of the world alike.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the solar revolution is still relatively nascent. And you might have a lot of questions about<br \/>\nwhether solar is right for you or your company; and, if so, how you can deploy a solar solution to best<br \/>\neffect for your pocketbook and energy needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bay Area roofing company, Century Roof &amp; Solar<\/strong>, can answer your questions about<a title=\"Bay Area Solar Solutions \" href=\"http:\/\/noutilitybill.com\"> solar energy<br \/>\nsolutions.<\/a> For 15 years, we\u2019ve been the most trusted name in<a title=\"Bay Area Hayward Roofing Company\" href=\"http:\/\/centuryrooftile.com\/\"> roofing<\/a>.
