The Real Power Behind Solar Installation
The renewable energy industry is expanding at an incredibly rapid pace. In fact, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts solar power generation will increase 75% from 163 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2023 to 286 billion kWh in 2025. According to the Department of Energy solar is estimated to grow from 3% of the U.S. electricity supply today, to 45% by 2050. Potential abounds, from efficient, profitable operations for power producers to clean, sustainable energy for the North American public.
