Awesome company with a great base and good heart. If solar turns out to be a big growth market, so be it. I think this company is fine either way.

Actually, if solar takes off they are in even a better position. They only payback 30% of the kw produced by solar through netmetering to their clients. They carge about 12.8c a kw and they payback a little less than 4c. Which is their wholesale purchase rate. Even if every roof got solar, theyt would be redistributing it and reselling elsewhere and still making a handsome profit. Sort of like an electricity broker.

Oh definitely. I was just saying they'd be fine either way - but the way solar works, pretty much all cost is up front (setting up panels, etc.), and then you just profit from the sun... sky is the limit, no pun intended.
