Solar and Storage Industry

NEW: Solar dominates new energy capacity additions for the 5th year in a row. Despite political setbacks, the solar industry installed 43GW in the first year of the Trump admin and, together with storage, comprised 79% of all new capacity. seia.org/news/report-u-…

It's this simple: Blocking permits for solar and storage only restricts our energy supply. And less energy on the grid means higher electricity prices for Americans.

SEIA's Finance, Tax, and Buyers seminar is the event of the year for solar, tax, business, and legal leaders to come together for two days of networking and groundbreaking discussion. June 23-24 in NYC. Register now: events.seia.org/fintaxandbuyer…

The best way that government can support family farms is to let them decide how to manage their own land. Read more from @JohnSzoka of @ConsEnergyNet washingtontimes.com/news/2026/may/…

👇 This is energy addition. This is energy dominance. 💪

Utah jumped from 36th place among U.S. states in solar capacity added in 2023 to 8th place in 2025 …and they can keep building, as long as the feds get out of the way. kuer.org/business-econo…

As supply chain volatility drives energy prices upward, demand for stable, fast-to-build energy technologies surges, too. And solar is ready to deliver. economist.com/finance-and-ec…

A classic American road trip...but for solar components 🧑‍🏭

NEW: Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has been named SEIA's incoming President and CEO. As Governor, Pawlenty oversaw a $50 billion biennial budget, led more than 20 state agencies and departments, and championed some of the nation’s most forward-looking renewable energy initiatives. He brings a proven track record of executive leadership, deep public policy expertise, and a clear understanding of the energy challenges facing the United States. Pawlenty will assume the role on June 15. Read more: seia.org/news/governor-…

As summer heatwaves look to push power bills even higher this summer, Americans need an abundant, affordable, and reliable energy supply. That's what solar + storage offers. newsnationnow.com/business/your-…

AI can't wait 5-10 years for new power.

Preserving the quantity and quality of water and producing energy at the same time. All of that is possible with solar. pv-magazine-usa.com/2026/05/04/sol…

Solar is by far the most popular source of energy.

Adding solar ➡️ energy supply goes up ➡️ prices go down. MISO is showing how solar addition can ease prices for consumers. utilitydive.com/news/miso-capa…

As @ConsEnergyNet CEO @JohnSzoka writes in the @WashTimes, when farmers have the freedom to lease their land for solar, they're not just securing their own financial future — they're helping secure American energy dominance. American resilience and energy dominance are built by expanding opportunity, not limiting it. Solar gives farmers stable, long-term income while helping the U.S. meet surging electricity demand. That's a win for rural communities and a win for American competitiveness. Read the full article here: washingtontimes.com/news/2026/may/…
