based on average solar production across the country, it would take a little over 20,000 square miles of solar panels to meet the country’s electric needs. That’s about 0.5% of U.S. land, and about half of the 40,223 square miles currently leased by fossil fuels.

Wind energy has been a boon for many farmer and ranchers across the US. A growing renewable energy industry will only help drive the positive impacts even further.

It's all [solar] systems go, now that our 1st community solar project in Illinois is LIVE! With 33 more IL projects in the works, there's a lot of clean energy to come 🌞
Guess how many new homes can now support solar power ↴
(We'll share the answer tomorrow in replies below!)
One thing we ❤️ about
#communitysolar
is that it works everywhere. Not all of our projects are huge solar farms spread across open fields. In DC we have 8 small projects across the city, including a boxing gym and local Church. Big or small, community solar works everywhere.
Tomorrow, 4/20 at 10:30am EST, our CEO
@KiranRaju
will testify in the US Congress in support of nationwide community solar.☀️
Such a program can help provide accessible, critically-needed power bill relief—25% of US households face high energy burdens, esp. communities of color.
You don’t need panels on the roof to support a home with solar energy. Read how Community Solar works to give everyone a clean energy option at no extra cost.
