U.S. Residential Solar Just Beat Commercial Installations For The First Time
By trkingmomoe on Sun, 06/01/2014 - 11:40pm |This is really good news.
The first quarter of 2014 was another big one for the U.S. solar industry, with 74 percent of all new electricity generation across the country coming from solar power. The 1,330 megawatts of solar photovoltaics (PV) installed last quarter bring the total in the U.S. up to 14.8 gigawatts of installed capacity — enough to power three million homes, according to GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
The installation is being done in middle class neighborhoods and this has the fossil fuel industry fighting back. They are pushing to tax and add surcharges to home owners that install solar panels.
