Fox News – John R. Quain

In tech and TV circles, they call it “TV Everywhere” — a future when we can tune in our favorite shows wherever we are. But all it means is that people are watching TV differently now, and behind the camera networks are scrambling to catch up.

Boy, are they scrambling.

Proof that viewing habits are changing came earlier this month when research firm SNL Kagan revealed that 741,000 households stopped subscribing to basic cable in the third quarter of this year. That’s the biggest drop in subscribers in 30 years, and the reason is obvious.

Today, we’re watching shows on the bus, on the train, in the backseat of the car, on mobile phones and on iPads. It’s not so much that people are “cutting the cord”; it’s usually still needed for that all-important Internet connection. And it’s not that audiences don’t love shows like Glee (we do). But we’re not tethered to a living room set anymore. So the days when we all watched the same program at the same time are over.  (Full Article)

Alexandria, VA A federal tax credit saved a Virginia man nearly $24,000 on a solar electric and hot water installation on his Alexandria home. For Steven “Boots” Barnes, the cost of installing a home solar power system in Virginia is not only offset by federal tax credits, but also generates a steady revenue stream with solar renewable energy credits (SREC’s). Add those savings to significant utility-bill savings and the result is a return on investment of less than eight years.

Barnes is so pleased with his investment that he has become a solar advocate, encouraging his neighbors to do the same.

“It has been outstanding for us,” Barnes said. “It is the future for our kids. We are always willing to show neighbors and discuss the particulars. The installation was very painless with no maintenance. We chose to go with a national solar integrator, groSolar, who was outstanding. We’re fortunate we chose groSolar out of the two companies we considered.”

groSolar isn’t a traditional solar installation company. It is a nationwide solar distributor that shops the global market for the best value and highest quality products available. Every component installed from the wiring to the solar panels is hand-picked by groSolar CEO Jeff Wolfe.  (Full Article)

Renewable Energy World.com – Reginald Norris

Recently, at Solar Power International, the MyEnergySolution team sat down with Gaelan Brown, Vice President of Marketing for groSolar, to get his take on the solar power market in the U.S. and what advice he has for consumers.

MyEnergySolution: On the residential side, how is the 2010 solar market versus 2009 and where do you see the market moving in 2011?

It’s been generally better than 2009. For groSolar, installing solar across the northeast, mid-Atlantic, and California, it’s been a mixed bag. I think California has been a little tougher this year than it was in 2009. The East Coast markets have been solid although the Connecticut solar market has been tougher this year compared to last year as they’ve changed the state level program. In addition, there is no lease option in Connecticut.

We have also seen state rebates evaporating which I believe has caused a lot of consumers to wait, thinking there is going to be some better option if they wait. Well maybe that’s true and maybe its not but the general scene on the East Coast has been much accelerated especially with Pennsylvania and Massachusetts solar power. But even without the rebates in these states, you are still looking at a 5, 6 year payback with solar financing.  (Full Article)
