Solar Beats U.S. Import Tariff to Become Biggest Source of Power
In the United States, solar power made a remarkable leap forward in early 2018, producing more electricity than both natural gas and wind combined during the first quarter. This achievement was particularly impressive given that solar installations surged by 13% in the first four months of the year, accounting for a staggering 55% of all new electricity generation capacity added during that period.
What's even more noteworthy is that solar managed to outpace new wind farms and natural gas facilities for the second consecutive quarter. Developers installed a total of 2.5 gigawatts of solar capacity in Q1 2018 alone, according to data from the Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research.
The resilience of the solar industry in the U.S. is especially commendable considering the import tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump in late January 2018. These tariffs levied a 30% fee on all foreign-made materials entering the country, which many feared would hurt domestic renewable energy growth. However, the opposite turned out to be true—solar energy not only thrived but became stronger than ever before.
This demonstrates that the demand for solar power remains robust regardless of political headwinds. Despite the hurdles posed by regulatory changes, the industry’s adaptability and consumer appetite continue to drive progress.
Abigail Ross Hopper, CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, called this development a landmark moment for solar energy: “Solar has become a practical choice for most Americans, proving resilient enough to withstand challenges such as these tariffs.â€
While we celebrate this success across the Atlantic, it naturally inspires us to aim higher back home in the UK. Solar adoption is growing steadily here, and our efforts have been commendable so far, yet we remain slightly behind our transatlantic peers.
