The solar ramp up is pretty shocking. I wonder if it was weirdly low in '24.

Hard to say without knowing methodology. We got solar installed some time mid/late 2023, I think(?), because of the huge subsidy being offered, so 2024 was the first full year of solar for us. If there was some of this dynamic going on large scale residentially, and perhaps even some industrial-scale projects, then I can see it.

I could imagine a rush of people taking advantage of solar subsidies before Orange Man could take them away.
