In order for solar and clean energy to become a major piece of the U.S. electricity system, our industry must manage our growth and remove potential barriers before they pose greater risk to long-term success. We face challenges on issues such as land use, recycling and workforce development, and these issues will only become more impactful as deployment levels increase. Developing strategies for these impacts now, rather than waiting until they become impossible to ignore, is a core focus for SEIA.
