SEPA statement on ITC extension

Julia Hamm, President and CEO of the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA), has released the following statement on the U.S. House and Senate votes to extend the solar investment tax credit.

“Our market research shows wide consumer interest in solar energy options, ranging from rooftop to community solar to utility-scale generation. The extension of the federal investment tax credit will allow for broader participation and deployment of these solar applications across the country, especially in regions where local markets are less mature. A robust solar sector can also accelerate the deployment of other distributed energy technologies — such as storage, demand response and energy efficiency — which will provide even more opportunities for creating value for both individual consumers and the grid as a whole.”
