Made in America Innovation Is Independence
Solar is our ticket to energy independence. But even with federal incentives driving down costs, the United States ranks last in power generated from solar among competing nations. Strengthening our self-sufficiency is how we can restore American competitiveness and emerge as the leading force in the energy revolution.
Stepping up the Solar Surge
Slow and steady loses the race. Other countries are rapidly outpacing the United States in electricity generated from solar power. Every watt of solar not built is a missed opportunity for our nation to lead in manufacturing, technology, job creation, and infrastructure1.
