Tell Washington to Let America’s Solar and Storage Industry Build 

Political attacks on America’s solar and storage industry are threatening more than half of all new planned power projects in the United States through 2030. That could send your already high energy bills through the roof. Energy demand from AI and data centers is skyrocketing and solar and storage are the fastest, most affordable generation sources available. But right now, this administration is using every tool at its disposal to slow down solar deployment, delay grid upgrades, and undermine our energy security. Americans need more energy on the grid as fast as possible – not more unnecessary bureaucracy. Tell your representatives to stop the solar slowdown and help ensure that American energy stays reliable and affordable.

Tell Gov. Murphy: Protect Streamlined Solar Permitting in New Jersey!

A bill has unanimously passed the New Jersey legislature that would expedite the permitting process for rooftop solar systems by creating an automated permitting system. Permitting can be a lengthy and expensive component to installing solar + storage – potentially adding $3,800 to $4,500 to the cost of a typical rooftop solar system in New Jersey. Governor Murphy has legislation on his desk ready for his signature that would help households install solar more efficiently and for a lower price, so they can start saving money on their electricity bill even faster.
