Rainbow Power Company (RPC) has successfully navigated the volatile solar waters for three decades. While this is old news to most readers, the imminent battery revolution is bound to unleash a multitude of opportunistic entrepreneurs.
RPC's advice: Beware of deals that seem too good to be true. Why? Take a quick (or not so quick) look at the list of solar companies that closed their doors, went through administration, receivership or liquidation, or are currently (November 2016) in strike-off state (currently being deregistered).
