This year looks likely to set a record for distributed solar securitisation deals as a growing number of developers look to tap the asset-backed securities market.
US residential installer Sunrun said it would exit the PV market in Nevada with the loss of hundreds of jobs due to the recent negative changes by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in Nevada to net metering and charges on people operating solar systems.
Renewable energy firm SolarCity was responsible for 34% of residential solar PV installations in the first three quarters of 2015, according to GTM Research’s ‘US PV Leaderboard: Q4 2015’.
Leading module supply firm Hanwha Q CELLS is to almost triple its supply agreement with Sunrun, becoming one of the developer’s main suppliers in 2016.
