This is super cool! I'm curious how much of a problem the policy side of things is here? My impression is that some of these projects fail because of NIMBYism a

  This definitely comes up. Some communities are more receptive to solar than others, and it is important that the local community buys into a project before it gets built. We've definitely passed by signs in the lawns of local residents unhappy about the project being built next door. We are fortunate in that those sorts of problems are actually largely the responsibility of the solar project developer, whose job it is to finance the project, get land rights, do the appropriate environmental/interconnect studies, and build relationships with the community. The developer lets the construction company (and us) focus on building the project. But it's an excellent question.

    Unlike Wind I do not understand who in their right mind opposes solar projects. It is mostly a static piece of flat construction with hardly any rise sitting on private land.
