Fees on solar panel imports imposed this week by the Trump administration threaten to increase customer costs and cut solar energy growth by as much as 11% over the next five years, but the industry remains optimistic that the roadblock will be temporary. The new tariffs probably will add about $650 to the average solar power system a homeowner would buy, said Bernadette Del Chiaro, executive director of the Solar Energy Industries Assn. But the added cost is unlikely to stop consumers and businesses from going solar or force solar companies out of business, she said. "I think in the long run, there's no turning back," Del Chiaro said. "Consumers have already gotten a taste of what it means

On Tuesday, SolarWorld and Suniva, two major solar panel manufacturers, will be petitioning the International Trade Commission (ITC) to impose tariffs on all foreign panels The co-complainants are claiming that foreign panel manufacturers have been dumping their products - selling goods at or below cost in order to drive out competition in an effort to gain market share - into the U.S. If the ITC decides that dumping has occurred, it will recommend to the President to impose a tariff on solar panels. This could have major ramifications throughout the solar industry. Some companies are, understandably, petitioning against the ITC to impose a tariff. These companies rely on cheap, imported mat

The decision arrived in June to restore conditions for solar-powered homes after utility regulators voted to nullify net-metering credits and increase fees on all residential solar customers. Now, after hundreds of solar worker layoffs and several installers pulling out of the state, the prospects for homeowners to go solar are bright again. Over the course of the next year, the solar market in Nevada is expected to increase exponentially as homeowners in search of renewable energy alternatives become aware of this victory for solar power prospects. With the signing of Assembly Bill 405 by Governor Brian Sandoval, customers of solar not only have net-metering restored to their solar energy s

There are few in the industry with more experience in flipping residential properties than Nicki Zvik. Having done this countless times, it's no surprise he is often sought out for his advice.

Real estate provides a number of benefits not received through other investments. Returns Are Better than Stock Market The stock market can be very volatile and the risk never really changes, no matter when you are investing. In real estate, however, the risk of loss is usually minimized when you hold onto your property for longer. If the real estate market crashes, once it improves the value of the home improves. Tangible Asset Value With real estate, there is a tangible asset value. Investing in the stock market can result in the price of your stock zeroing out, whil

It is said that there is only one thing worse than going to Las Vegas and losing your money. That is, going to Las Vegas and winning. When the stakes are high and your money is in something that is not very liquid and you get one big break and everything ends up as you planned, it is quite easy to start planning your next real estate venture on an even more increased scale. Instead, you're going to want to stick with your strengths. You're going to want to stay the course of a really long time before you branch out into bigger and "better" levels of real estate. How do you stay focused when you want to experiment and try out and use other forms of real estate investing right away? One of the
