[quote=Anonymous][quote] US President Donald Trump’s war on the US solar industry is going sideways. Investment has slowed this year, but the industry has gathered enough momentum to carry itself through to next year and beyond. That may seem like wishful thinking now, but a new report from Deloitte outlines how the domestic solar industry can survive, recover, and persist long after President Trump leaves office on January 20, 2029 — peacefully this time, one hopes.
It’s a matter of common knowledge that solar power is now the fastest, most accessible, and most economical way to get more kilowatts into the hands of energy-thirsty ratepayers. A new report from the US Energy Information Agency also notes that solar power plant projects have faced fewer construction delays in the most recent reporting period, indicating that the industry has adopted more effective systems to carry a project through its final months.

Now here comes the US-based global firm Deloitte with a new analysis that underscores the powerful, and persistent, role of the US solar industry in the nation’s power supply.

While taking note that both wind and solar investments fell significantly during the first half of this year, Deloitte emphasizes that power generation capacity additions in during the first half of this year were dominated by renewable energy projects at 93%, for a total of 30.2 gigawatts. Solar and storage alone accounted for 83% of new capacity additions, underscoring how the solar industry has sidelined wind and other renewables, at least for the time being.
..
Deloitte analysis projects that annual solar, wind, and storage additions between 2026 and 2030 could fall to a range of 30 GW to 66 GW, down from a range of 54 GW to 85 GW under pre-OBBBA trajectories,” Deloitte estimated, referring to the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” passed by the Republican-controlled Congress in July.[/quote]
