Federal support for research and development to find new and more effective solar technologies is a key factor in driving down the future cost of solar electricity. We saw this kind of support in the tax credits and research funding outlined in the 2005 Energy Policy Act, and it continues to gain momentum with Solar America Initiative. These types of progressive policies are vital to the growth of the industry in the U.S. |
I think everybody in the know in the industry knows that the United States is going to be the biggest market in solar. We have all the right things happening here. |
Prices are going down every year, and the cost of standard electricity is going up. There will be a meeting point. |
Sharp is proud to be a partner on this project. This solar array will help Napa Valley College conserve natural resources and save on utility bills. |
