Solar Energy is one of the fastest growing energy resources in the country, accounting for nearly two-thirds of new electric generating capacity in the third quarter of 2024. The rapidly falling price of solar resources has helped accelerate private investments and reduce energy costs for households and businesses. Furthermore, as of mid-2023 electric generation from solar energy employed more Americans than any other resource.

Solar can also be applied in many ways on different scales: on-roof residential, shared community solar, commercial or industrial applications, or large utility-scale projects.
