Solar Power's Unprecedented Growth

by Creative Solar USA

Today, an article was posted on Energy News' web site about John Lushetsky who is the program manager for the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Energy Technology Program for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. While speaking at the University of Toledo, he said the following:

"To go from the 1 gigawatt of generation capacity that we have now [in the United States] to the 170 to 200 gigawatts called for by 2030 amounts to a 26 percent compounded annual growth rate over the next 20 years," John Lushetsky explained. "That's a higher sustained growth rate than any industry has ever been asked to do before."
