Solar had a record-setting Q1 2021 and accounted for 58% of all new electric capacity additions in the United States. Renewable energy accounted for nearly 100% of all new electric capacity in Q1. "It's incredible to see the solar industry pass 100 gigawatts after the policy and regulatory hurdles we've faced over the last few years," said Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of SEIA. "While we're poised for more growth, we must accelerate solar and storage deployment to address the climate crisis and reach President Biden's ambitious clean energy goals. Long-term policy certainty is the best way to do that, and we're urging Congress to act this summer."
