As the U.S. works to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy demand continues to increase. Developers and utilities continue to increase renewable energy, including solar generation, in the national energy mix to meet the demand.
Today approximately three percent of U.S. electricity comes from solar sources in solar photovoltaics (P.V.) and concentrated solar-thermal power (CSP). The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecast that in 2022, the solar power share would inch up to 5% in the U.S. energy mix, while by 2050, it would meet a fifth of the country’s electricity demand.
