Last week at RE+, I was energized to join nearly 40k solar + storage leaders who are driving our industry forward.

This was only my second RE+, but even in the midst of fed. policy uncertainty, the tenacity and optimism on display were remarkable. I can't wait for next year.

RIGHT NOW: Congress is considering cuts to American energy incentives that are driving billions in new investments AND helping keep energy costs low.

This is now the *fifth* study since late last year demonstrating that repealing energy tax credits will force every single consumer and household in the country to pay more for what they use.

When will Congress abandon their effort to gouge families and hike your bills?

BIG news: Solar added a record-breaking 50 GW of new capacity in 2024.

That’s more than ANY single energy source in the last two decades and the most solar energy ever installed in a single year.

Yesterday I was proud to join #solar + #storage companies from across the country on Capitol Hill during SEIA's largest lobby day.

160+ companies sent representatives and 1,900+ U.S. businesses signed letters telling Congress to protect American energy tax credits.

Let's keep the momentum going!
