Act Now For ITC. We have an unprecedented opportunity to enact bold federal policies that decarbonize our electric grid and help us prevent the worst effects of climate change. This is a once-in-a-generation chance to build an equitable clean energy economy, and we must mobilize support for pro solar policies in infrastructure and budget legislation. There is broad, bipartisan support for solar on both sides of the aisle. Even President Biden is calling for clean energy tax credit extensions, but this does not guarantee our success. If we want to meet President Biden’s ambitious goals, we need to quadruple the size of the solar industry today. We can’t do it on our current trajectory, and we need supportive policies that drive business certainty and help us focus on deployment. Please consider signing onto SEIA’s company letter and joining their effort this summer to help us mobilize support for solar policies in budget and infrastructure legislation. The future of our clean energy economy depends on it.
