Solar added a record-shattering 50GW of new capacity in 2024 & together with storage = 84% of new capacity- the most of any energy tech in the past 2 decades. We are celebrating our work to accelerate solar & storage & help the U.S. meet its growing energy demand. Stay tuned as we charge ahead!

High costs, aging landowners, & limited access for new farmers are putting pressure on farmers. Agrivoltaics is a promising option, for farmers but challenges remain. Learn how SI2 is working on the ground to address the challenges in implementing agrivoltaics. www.ssii.org/agrivoltaics...

#agrivoltaics is a game changing solution for #farmers, communities, and #solar developers. We’re excited to prove why! Stay tuned for more updates.

#solar is how we meet energy demand. Traditional power plants take years to build & cannot meet immediate needs. Community solar is ready NOW & can be deployed faster w/flexible interconnection. Solar+flexible interconnection= no delays in addressing the energy demand. www.ssii.org/flexible-int...

US farmers switch to renting out sheep as lawn mowers for solar sites For the first time in four generations, the Raines family didn't plant a single cotton seed last year. Chad Raines parked his tractor and rented out most of his Texas farmland to a neighbor.

β€œFor farmers faced with pricey seed bills & expensive equipment parts for repairing their machinery, these solar land-management contracts can be an economic lifeline, according to Reuters interviews with more than a dozen farmers.”

And the winner is…#solar! Did you watch the Oscars last night?

Here are a few awards you may have missed.

Solar has had a big year!

We are celebrating our research on flexible interconnection & #agrivoltaics that is helping solar lead!
