This policy brief discusses the potential impact of proposed tax reforms on the solar industry, highlighting that such changes could increase solar energy costs by up to 58%. It emphasizes the need for proactive development of tax reform solutions to maintain solar's economic competitiveness, as the expiration of key tax incentives like the investment tax credit (ITC) looms. The GW Solar Institute is launching a research initiative to analyze various policy options and their implications for the solar sector.
1) Harnessing solar energy at the multi-terawatt level in the US is possible by blending solar and wind resources from different locations to reduce variability and using existing fossil fuel and nuclear plants as backup without building new conventional plants.
2) By 2023, over 8400 terawatt hours per year of solar, wind, and other non-carbon renewable electricity could be deployed in the US, exceeding current total US electricity usage.
3) The cost of solar electricity delivered nationwide could be around 20 cents per kilowatt hour now dropping to around 12 cents per kilowatt hour by 2015, making it competitive with fossil fuels.
DOE's Solar Analysis Agenda provides an overview of current solar analysis activities and future directions at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Softer Solar Landings: Options to Avoid the Investment Tax Credit CliffGW Solar Institute
油
This document analyzes the potential impacts of allowing the 30% federal investment tax credit (ITC) for solar energy to expire at the end of 2016 as scheduled under current law. It finds that failure to extend the ITC could result in a 10% or greater increase in the cost of solar energy from 2016 to 2017, along with 42% fewer utility-scale solar installations and 15% fewer distributed solar installations in 2017. It considers several policy options Congress could pursue to mitigate these impacts, recommending a two-year extension of the current ITC levels followed by a gradual phase-out as solar and other technologies reach full market maturity and scale.

The document summarizes the findings of The Solar Foundation's State Solar Jobs Census. It found that the U.S. solar industry employed over 142,000 workers in 2013, a 20% increase from 2012. California employs the most solar workers of any state at over 47,000, representing over 40% of total U.S. solar capacity and 1/3 of national solar employment. The census tracks employment trends in solar installation, manufacturing, project development, sales and distribution across all 50 states.
The document discusses the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of achieving 10-20% of electricity demand from solar energy technologies by 2030, identifying key challenges such as costs, access to land, and grid integration. It outlines the solar energy cost targets and effectiveness of policy incentives, particularly for residential and utility-scale photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP). Additionally, it highlights the need for advancements in infrastructure and financing strategies to enable high penetration of solar energy in the U.S. electricity system.
The solar industry is projected to grow significantly, with a 15.6% increase in employment expected for 2014, adding 22,200 new solar jobs. As of November 2013, there are 142,698 solar workers in the U.S., with nearly half of these jobs concentrated in California, Arizona, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Overall, solar jobs have increased by 53% since 2010, highlighting a trend of rapid growth in the solar sector compared to slower growth in the overall economy.

It advocates for technology-neutral incentives and proactive tax reform solutions while outlining various proposed systems and their impacts on solar pricing.
Consensus Recommendations on How to Catalyze Low-Income Solar in DCGW Solar Institute
油
In Washington, DC, solar energy installations are concentrated in higher-income neighborhoods, leaving low-income residents without access due to market barriers. The Community Renewables Energy Act (CREA) aims to enhance equity by allowing renters to benefit from solar, while a proposed loan guarantee program could leverage $4 million in government funds to finance up to $36 million in low-income solar projects. A roundtable of stakeholders recommends a multipronged approach to address these barriers and increase low-income solar deployment in the district.
This project was featured at the 2014 Solar Symposium and analyzes both the solar potential of low income areas in the District as well as the resulting economic impact a full build-out could have.
