From meter mix equipment to silicone dispensing equipment, there is a lot that goes into the installation of solar panels. Solar panel installation, from meter mix equipment to the dispensing solution used, should always be handled by an experienced professional to make sure that the process is a smooth and error free as possible, as solar panels can provide an important source of energy for individual homes as well as businesses and companies.

There’s been a huge growth in the popularity of solar panels in recent years, particularly in the United States. Part of this growth has come from an even greater push to be environmentally friendly and protect the earth, thus moving away from more traditional methods of generating energy that tend to not be as kind to the planet. Moving away from these traditional energy generating methods and switching to solar panels (and subsequently, greater levels of solar power) can also help to reduce energy costs, allowing businesses and even individual households to save considerable amounts of money and budget them elsewhere. Solar panels themselves, from the meter mix equipment to the gear metering systems, have dropped considerably in cost, even just in the past few years. In fact, solar panels are about half the cost of what they were in 2008, and are predicted to become even less expensive in the coming years. Since 1977, when solar panel technology was in its infancy, the price of solar panels have fallen at least one hundred times.

The solar panel industry is also an incredible source of employment for hundreds of thousands of people. Currently, an estimated 250,000 people are reported to be employed in the solar panel industry, and there are more than 9,000 companies that are dedicated to solar panel installation who are experts in all that solar panel installation entails, from meter mix equipment to other necessary supplies. These companies have spread across the entirety of the United States, with at least one solar panel focused company in every state, showing a huge overall growth in the solar panel industry. As far as current solar panel installations in the United States and current operable solar panels, there have been more than 1.5 million. There are expected to have been 2 million solar panel installations by the end of this year, and as many as 4 million solar panel installations by the end of 2022, just a few short years from now.

The growth of the solar panel industry represents an important shift towards greener sources of energy. From home installations to solar panel installations for large businesses, companies, and corporations, people all across the United States are switching, to some extent, to energy generated from solar panels. This energy is less expensive than traditional sources of energy, and even the prices of solar panel installation itself has rapidly dropped in the last ten years, and even more exponentially if you are to look at the last thirty years.
