What emerging trends will drive investment and development in 2016? 2015 has been a bonanza for a variety of solar affiliated deals. From large parcel ground mounted system solar farms on North Fork East End of Long Island including a 60-acre land parcel for $8 million and a 45-acre site in Calverton for $7 million, to hundreds of thousands of s/f for commercial building roof top applications and also a industrial building sale deal for growing solar companies such as SuNation Solar Sytems Inc. that recently bought a 20,000 s/f building for $1.95 million. Long Island’s solar energy demand has soared. Solar has been a growing industry for several years now. I got into the business years ago by paying attention to Long Island’s power needs studying up on the current solar products and being informed on a variety of zoning and legal issues that affect all of the deal outcomes. Zere Real Estate Services exclusively represents sPower out of Utah and Conergy out of Florida.
