Was at Intersolar--the single largest B2B solar event in the world.  I am currently negotiating on module and BOS supply for the jobs we have in the pipeline, and figured Intersolar would be where I could see everyone I needed to see as well as understand firsthand industry trends.

Germany installs 12x the amount of PV that we do, their industry and their technology are years ahead of us, and at this point, they are the global leader. 

Most of the module manufacturers look to sell their product in Germany or Spain first, California is a third or fourth choice.  And the fact that one € is $1.37 at current rates reminds me that I am competing for resources in a global market.

The supply constraints of the last eighteen months are easing. I was able to get some great pricing and look forward to passing this along to our clientele.
