Recent regulatory changes have enabled ordinary citizens to produce their own power in Israel and get paid for it. Unfortunately, the road to open markets is still filled with many roadblocks. Eytan Avriel has a short and (bitter-) sweet account of his recent attempt to become energy independent.
In the US several companies have found ways to combat some of these issues by changing the business model, and legislators enabled those business to work with a rich set of tax credits. For example, Solar Edison and SolarCity provide in-house financing and/or leasing arrangements. To overcome the nightmare which can be planning and installation, GoGreenSolar creates a seamless online experience that walks you through sizing and planning the whole system. They then ship the panels to your home via UPS and an installer arrives to complete the job. Hopefully some entrepreneurs in Israel will step up to the challenge soon and join suit.
I want to say thank you that you have made your
