Social Media Graphics for #AmericanEnergyDeal
This summer, the Solar Energy Industries Association is advocating for bold federal policies that can transform the U.S. clean energy economy. This can only happen if we keep pressure on Congress to get a deal completed by the August recess. Please use these social media graphics alongside SEIA's sample social media copy to urge Congress to pass the reconciliation bill. The official hashtag for this campaign is #AmericanEnergyDeal.
Managing Growth
Regulatory Policy
With the rapid growth in solar energy deployment necessary to decarbonize our economy, the industry faces new and quickly evolving needs and challenges across a wide variety of federal regulatory agencies. SEIA’s regulatory affairs experts are leading this charge by regularly and directly engaging with regulators, participating in dozens of rulemaking dockets across agencies, and, when necessary, litigating to protect industry’s interests in federal appeals courts.

Lessons from the Front Line: Principles and Recommendations for Large-scale and Distributed Energy Interconnection Reform
The United States solar industry continues to rapidly expand, but outdated interconnection policies pose a major threat to solar and storage deployment across the nation. Because solar power is one of the lowest-cost resources for electricity and because solar paired with storage is also a way for customers to supply their own clean power and save money when compared with distribution utility costs, applications to interconnect solar and energy storage projects have skyrocketed.
