Where Is The Future Of Solar Energy Headed?
At some point in the recent past, the idea of turning the sun’s energy into a viable source of electricity for household use seemed far-fetched. But now that the solar energy industry is more widely accepted, what happens next?
Increased Reliance On Solar Energy
In recent years, the use of solar energy has increased significantly.
For example, according to energy.gov, net solar energy production increased from 1,121 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2010 to 90,891 GWh in 2020. And that positive trend has continued. In 2021, 39% of all new electricity-generating capacity added in the U.S. was solar.
As of 2022, 3% of the electricity generated in the U.S. comes from solar energy, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. But some studies suggest that the country could have 90% of its energy needs met by clean energy…
