A major Midwest software company near me has these over their visitor lot (their employee lot being underground), and has a huge farm of solar panels behind the building. I think it's a great idea.

On the graph at the bottom, does anyone know why the estimation goes down after 2016, then only slightly rises in 2018? There has to be some reason why solar installs would take a major hit like that, but I didn't see it explained in the article.



The source of the chart data is linked just above it.

GTM Research forecasts that the market will continue to grow year-over-year until the drop-off in the federal ITC, peaking at 318 megawatts in 2016

The federal ITC is a tax credit.
