Solar Policy: What Does The SEIA Think About The Trade War?

Solar Policy: What Does The SEIA Think About The Trade War?

Whether you’re talking about solar thermal, photovoltaic panels or concentrated photovoltaics, this solar trade war with China (and as of last month, possibly India) is fascinating. It doesn’t matter what side of the issue you’re on (and as I’ve said repeatedly, I can see both sides of the issue so far), this is a fascinating discussion of the international solar market and brings up all sorts of ideas about how to level the playing field. Which led me to ask Monique Hanis and Jared Blanton from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) how the association felt about the ITC complaint.

Solar Policy: Back To The (Pre)Solar Future?

I wonder what has happened in Germany. Have some in their government gone through an odd black hole and gone back in time? That’s the only thing I can think of to justify the decision of the economy minister to come out in favor of cutting solar subsidies in such a drastic fashion (something the environmental minister, predictably, opposes).

		SEIA and Solar Alliance Merge: News Analysis This article appeared in The Hill newspaper this afternoon, and I must admit it took me a little by surprise. But one criticism I’ve heard of the Solar Energy Industries Association was that they didn’t do a good job of fighting on state issues. Consider that problem, at least partially, solved. More>>

		SunPower Corp. Completes Four California Projects SunPower Corp. completed four high-efficiency solar power systems, totaling 3.8 megawatts, at public water agencies and water treatment facilities in California. The systems will significantly reduce electricity costs at each site, relieving strained public budgets. More>>

Solar Power World Webinar: Understanding Clean Energy Standards

Solar Power World Webinar: Understanding Clean Energy Standards

Although the U.S. currently lacks a solid national clean-energy policy, many states have already made commitments of their own. But clean-energy standards can be confusing. Join us in a special 1-hour webinar entitled "Understanding Clean Energy Standards." Expert speakers will define and distinguish clean energy policies and net metering laws, using different states as examples. This webinar will help explain clean energy standards and how they've enabled the development and expansion of renewable energy throughout the U.S.
