Some governments impose mandatory solar panel installations on all new developments, while others offer tax credits or streamlined permitting to spur voluntary adoption. Each section below
At the federal level, there are several key policies, programs, and regulations that impact the development of solar PV and other renewable energy projects, influencing project procurement
This page describes the patchwork of federal, state, and local policies and regulations pertaining to renewable energy systems that impact project development.
Explore key U.S. solar policy changes from May 2024, including state-level reforms, federal shifts, and trade updates impacting the industry.
In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, we forecast that wind and solar energy will lead growth in U.S. power generation for the next two years. As a result of new solar projects coming on
– Together, utility -scale solar and wind generation accounted for more power than coal generation. – Solar overtook hydropower to be the second -largest source of renewable energy
Even as the Trump administration rolled out a series of anti-clean energy policies, solar and storage still accounted for 82% of all new power added to the grid in its first six months.
Federal agencies are delaying approvals for renewable energy projects on both federal land and private property at a time when electricity demand is going up.
Just one solar project has been approved on federal lands since Trump took office in January, and none have been permitted since July when Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered
Explore the latest U.S. solar policy changes in Sept 2025, from ITC rules to tariffs and state programs. See how they impact solar developers and markets.
Empa Solar Energy Europe is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in Poland, serving the European market. We specialize in C&I energy storage systems for factories and warehouses, industrial battery storage systems for heavy-duty applications, factory energy storage systems (ESS) to optimize production, commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS) for retail and offices, enterprise storage solutions for corporate campuses, industrial park energy storage for multi-tenant sites, commercial battery storage for peak shaving, industrial battery storage systems for backup power, and remote base station power solutions for telecom towers.
