mapping the California Solar Initiative

Solar Installations in CaliforniaToday we released an update to our California Solar Initiative data navigator.  The new version is much more efficient and provides additional ways for you to visualize the residential solar industry in Calfornia.

Some of the biggest changes include the introduction of treemaps to navigate the vendor landscape and heatmaps to see where they're active across the state. 

The treemaps allow you to see the dominant solar companies in California in a single glance.  You can browse by the most popular installers, sellers, manufacturers, models or cities.  Click on a company at any time to see all of its completed solar installations that received funding through CSI since 2007.

We hope that you'll find this interesting information.  This week, our development team is hard at work getting our initial solar platform release ready for our alpha testers to take a spin next week.  If you're interested in seeing what it's all about - direct message @opensolar and I can send you an invite.

Check out our CSI Browser and let us know what you think!
