Better Your Business - Small-Scale Solar Succeeds as Big Players Struggle - US Business News - CNBC

 Despite the awful headlines of 2011, some segments of the solar energy sector are booming.

Small-scale solar — generated mainly by rooftop solar photovoltaic PV panels — has benefited from dropping technology prices and rising utility-generated power prices, say sector watchers.
“So much of the general public does not realize that the [technology] price reductions that caused companies like Solyndra to fail now make solar affordable,” says Edward Fenster, CEO of solar power services firm Sunrun, referring to the scandal-plagued solar technology company that collapsed in 2011.
Fenster says his firm’s customer base doubled, from 10,000 to 20,000 over the past 12 months. He added 96 employees to his payroll in 2011, while his firm’s partner network — the company teams with local solar installers in their targeted markets — also added 1,000 net new jobs last year.
