Solar Power Bails Out Texas Grid during Major Heat Wave:

Solar power has been crucial to keeping the power on in Texas while the state experiences a major heat wave, even as some politicians have attempted to make it more difficult to connect renewable energy to the grid

Saturday was . To celebrate, here are 4️⃣ reasons to be grateful for solar energy🌞

1. Resilience: Even in the face of disaster, solar delivers reliable electricity. Just ask the Tampa residents who maintained power throughout Hurricane Ian: “I’m very grateful. We felt really safe and had full power.” https://www.tampabay.com/news/business/2023/03/08/soar-grid-wimauma-neighborhood-withstood-hurricane-ian/

2. Cost- effective: The price of solar PV has fallen 53% in the last decade, helping consumers and small businesses save money on their electric bills.

3. Clean: Solar accounted for half of all new electricity generation in the U.S. last year. This clean technology is reducing 161 million metric tons of CO2 annually, the equivalent of removing 35 million cars from the road.

4. Growing: New SEIA data shows that despite policy-driven supply constraints, solar will continue to drive new jobs, manufacturing and investment into American communities.

Why are you thankful for solar power for ?

American energy security.

Repealing the Inflation Reduction Act wouldn’t just destroy jobs, it would abandon America’s global energy leadership. Sign the letter demand Congress protect the IRA. Link in bio.

Longi achieves 26.12% efficiency for gallium-doped p-type heterojunction solar cell The result, confirmed by Germany’s Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH), was achieved on a heterojunction solar cell based on an M6 wafer.

Wind, solar provide 67% of new US electrical generating capacity in first half of 2022 Wind and solar accounted for more than two-thirds of the new US electrical generating capacity added during the first six months of 2022.
