Continued, reliable investment in the development and production of renewable energy is critical to meet rising energy demand and keep prices low for our customers. Ava is proud to join the Solar Energy Industries Association and over 1,800 organizations from across the solar and storage sectors in calling on our Congressional leaders to preserve federal clean energy tax credits.
Today, SEIA and our members are on Capitol Hill... are you one of them? In a letter to Congressional leaders, 1,850 U.S. energy companies representing hundreds-of-billions in private investment are sending a message: Protect energy tax credits. "Solar can be built faster and cheaper than almost any technology, and it’s clear that we can’t meet our nation’s energy challenges or President Trump’s energy vision without a robust American solar and storage industry"?—?SEIA president and CEO Abby Hopper “With support from federal clean energy policies, American solar manufacturers can now produce enough modules to meet all demand for solar in the United States. It’s critical that our elected leaders understand the impact of these policies and the jobs and investments they bring to their constituents.” From reliability to manufacturing to energy dominance, America depends on clean energy.
