as anybody who tracks my every move, reviewed my transcripts, or listened to me rant can tell - I was never going to get a job at a top-tier tech company. but making six figures at a big solar company for a couple years, was awesome.
I quit when I realized that they were really selling a financial product to large banks by securitizing the solar tax credit... not solar to save the planet.
so, yeah... ethics. and convenience. and as much as I wanted to save the world, I knew that wasn't my way.
i hope other people can get themselves out of debt, and out of that machine. for me though... it's stressful af to be trying to make it on my own.
Question: does securitizing the solar tax credit increase or decrease solar deployment? I don't know enough about the market to say, but I do wonder if you may have missed the forest for the trees.
Oh I was confused. From your original comment, I thought your goal was "solar to save the planet" and that your ethical issue was that it was primarily a financial play and only secondarily about increasing solar deployment. But from this comment it sounds like your primary problem was with taxpayer funding for a subsidy, which, fair enough, if you don't believe in subsidies, you shouldn't work for a company whose business model relies on them.
