Markets for solar energy have grown rapidly across the nation over the past several years and solar electricity is now economically competitive with conventional energy sources in several states. It is proven to be an incubator for job growth and has become more affordable and accessible to our citizens. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the average cost of solar PV panels has dropped more than 60% since 2010, and a solar electric system has dropped roughly 50%. Despite monumental progress in the energy space, significant work remains before solar can meet its full potential throughout the country.
