It's no mystery that San Diego is one of the biggest solar markets in the US, and even the world. 2015 ushered in a solar gold rush period in the area, as Net Metering 1.0 was being phased out, which created demand that was unforseen in the industry. Before that year, there were less than 100 companies in the area, but once the rush hit, more contractors saw how much money was being thrown around, and as a result the number of companies in the area more than doubled.
