“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.
