What homeowners think about solar as the Federal Tax Credit winds down
As the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on solar begins its phase-out at the end of 2025, new survey data reveals a striking truth: while interest in solar is growing, confusion about costs, incentives, and savings could leave thousands of homeowners and installers on the sidelines. We surveyed 1,000 U.S. consumers age 25 and… […]
Calling all puzzle-lovers: Snag this solar and farmland jigsaw
Last year, Oregon-based Mark Jacobs was looking for a jigsaw puzzle that depicted American life in the countryside — but with solar. He was unable to find anything, so he set out to make his own. The result is the 500-piece “Solar Farms in America” puzzle that is now available for purchase via Portland Puzzle:… […]
Why rooftop solar’s emissions math is changing
As clean energy grows, so do the limits of how it’s measured. A new Nature Climate Change study warns that rooftop solar’s emissions impact is shrinking as the grid cleans itself. The first solar panels practically yeeted coal off the grid. But progress doesn’t simply solve our fossil-fueled problems; it reshapes them. As solar dominates […]

Unlimited low-cost energy storage
In its latest monthly for pv magazine, the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) explains how pumped-hydro energy storage combined with PV power generation could provide 24/7 power to data centers. From pv magazine Global Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) provides a vastly available, highly mature, lowest-cost, lowest-impact, longest-lifetime solution to dunkelflaute. PHES constitutes 95% of […]
Every major component of solar supply chain is now made in the U.S.
A Solar Energy Industries Association report indicates that the U.S. solar manufacturing pipeline is robust, however, Trump Administration policies, regulations and trade actions could stall progress and dampen demand for U.S.-made products. Once a dream, now reality: the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) reports in its Solar & Storage Supply Chain Dashboard that the entire solar supply […]
Solar recycling: Driving down costs before volumes spike
The U.S. may reach 10 million retired panels per year before 2030, more than IEA estimates. Waiting until the industry hits the “millions of panels per year” scale to build recycling infrastructure could lead to catastrophic costs for asset owners. As an entrepreneur building a global solar recycling business, I was very interested to see the latest […]
