No Question of Solar Momentum in U.S.

摘要

The U.S. solar energy industry, through a favorable mix of government incentives, corporate adoption and popularity with the public, has grown exponentially over the past few years. New solar installations nationwide increased by more than 40% from 2006 to 2007, resulting in 6000 new U.S. jobs, an additional 264 MW of energy capacity for consumers, and >$2B of investment in the U.S. economy. Solar has clearly become an economic engine for the United States, but we have only scratched the surface of what can be a robust, world-class industry.
