The history of solar energy is an American success story. Since the creation of the first silicon solar cell 70 years ago, solar leaders have been innovating, improving efficiency, lowering costs, and growing this American-born technology into an essential part of our nation’s energy system.
Black history is foundational to the past, present, and future of the U.S. solar and storage industry. As we celebrate Black History Month, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is focused on uplifting the work of Black leaders, delivering resources to improve representation, and advocating for policies that address the inequality in our energy systems.
Our energy systems are changing. For decades, communities of color and low-income communities have been systematically excluded from the benefits of energy development while, at the same time, bearing a disproportionate share of its pollution. The transition to clean energy represents a generational opportunity to reverse decades of environmental racism and build a more inclusive and just energy system that all Americans can participate in and benefit from.
America’s solar and storage industry is — by any metric — booming. While this growth has been quick, it has not been haphazard. This expansion is underpinned by the industry’s steadfast commitment to purposeful, proactive growth.
