Why should solar energy be a top priority for all governments? It provides many benefits that positively impact communities, companies, and the environment.
For renewable energy companies, particularly those in the solar panel market, this dual focus can be seen as both an opportunity and a challenge. On one hand, reduced bureaucracy may lower the costs and accelerate the deployment of solar energy projects.
And both solar and gas power are expected to grow more in the years ahead. “The power sector is, year on year, adding a lot more renewables, and in particular solar. Solar is getting cheaper and its adoption is scaling,” said Thomas Rowlands-Rees, head of North America Research at BloombergNEF.
The industry is facing difficulty getting permits, rising costs due to tariffs and the end of key tax credits. President Donald Trump 's attack on solar and wind projects threatens to raise energy prices for consumers and undermine a stretched electric grid that's already straining to meet rapidly growing demand, renewable energy executives warn.
President Donald Trump said his administration will not approve solar and wind projects. Renewable executives say blocking solar and wind projects will worsen a power supply shortage, harming the grid and leading to higher prices. The industry is facing difficulty getting permits, rising costs due to tariffs and the end of key tax credits.
Installed solar capacity in the U.S. now totals about 220 GW, enough to provide over 7% of the nation’s electricity. This continues a decade-long trend of rapid growth in solar power. Battery storage nearly doubled in 2024, with total installed capacity reaching almost 29 GW — and projected to grow another 47% in 2025.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Professor Christopher Knittel agreed that the low cost of solar will be “driving a lot of adoption, because it’s just a cheap source of electricity.” The unsubsidized cost of solar power dropped almost 85 percent between 2010 and 2023, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
