And despite recent changes in law reducing future tax credits, solar power’s relatively low total cost compared to other sources, coupled with its quick time to market, still makes utility-scale solar power a highly viable solution for the U.S. market. With the demand for electricity expected to grow sharply, utility-scale solar installations could prove to be an effective solution to meet this need.
