Although the construction sector still feels the strain of the nation's recession, the solar industry continues to demonstrate its viability. The solar industry is booming: Panel costs are rapidly decreasing; more financing options are available; and smart policies are enticing businesses and homeowners across the U.S. to go solar. The solar industry remains primed for continued and explosive growth, and changes in installation technology are enabling roofing professionals to add solar installations to their suite of services. To successfully take advantage of this opportunity, you must understand how federal, state and local policies shape the national market and the distinct state markets within the U.S.

For more information about the federal, state and local policies related to solar energy, read Professional Roofing's September feature "Going Solar."
