“Every sunny roof without solar panels is a missed opportunity,” said Johanna Neumann, Senior Director of the Campaign for 100% Renewable Energy at Environment America Research & Policy Center. 👉More than half of U.S. solar installations came online since the start of 2020. 👉More than 25 percent have come online since the Inflation Reduction Act became law just 20 months ago, according to SEIA. 👉Residential solar systems make up 97 percent of solar installations in the United States. 👉This milestone comes just eight years after the U.S. reached one million installations in 2016. It took 40 years to get to 1 million installations after the first grid-connected solar installation came online in 1973. What's next? Another projected 5 million installations by 2030.

In a promising report by S and P Global Commodity Insights, the clean energy industry is set to receive a significant boost with a projected 15% increase in technology investments by 2024. The surge, expected to reach nearly $800 billion, will be predominantly led by advancements in solar energy. This is a significant step towards a greener future. Moreover, the report predicts a steep decline in the cost associated with deploying clean energy technology, with a projected reduction of 15 to 20% by 2030. This is a positive development towards making clean energy more accessible and affordable for everyone. The imminent milestone outlined in the report is the installation of 1TW of wind and solar capacity within the next two years, propelling global installations to 3.5 TW. This is a positive stride towards a cleaner and more sustainable future. Let's continue to strive towards a greener planet by investing in clean energy technology. #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #SolarEnergy

“The IRA is a downpayment, but more effort is needed to decarbonize the U.S.” Jon Ødegård Hansen (pictured), Rystad Energy’s VP of Global Energy Systems, stated at Rystad Energy’s Clean Energy Forum. Brett Simon, e-Zinc’s Director of Commercial Strategy, attended the event as part of NYC Clean Energy Week. The forum highlighted the surging momentum behind clean energy initiatives, including renewable energy, hydrogen, and energy storage. Key takeaways from the forum include: 💫 Clean Energy Momentum: behind clean energy legislation and IRA will persist regardless of the outcome of the U.S. election in November. 🌳 State-Level Growth: Traditionally "red" states have seen significant IRA funding, and Texas is poised to surpass California as the nation's leading solar state by year-end. ✍ Urgent Need for Action: While the IRA is a crucial step, more aggressive decarbonization efforts to achieve a net-zero future is needed. e-Zinc is committed to playing a crucial role in the energy transition. As the demand for clean energy continues to grow, our innovative zinc-air battery technology has the potential to make a significant contribution to achieving a sustainable and decarbonized energy future.
