Photovoltaics

  • $0.05 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for residential PV
  • $0.04 per kWh for commercial PV
  • $0.02 per kWh hour for utility-scale PV

Concentrating Solar-Thermal Power

Safe and Reliable Grid Integration

Rapid Solar Deployment

  • A solar workforce of at least 300,000 diverse employees
  • 1 gigawatt per year of new U.S. PV manufacturing capacity installed, based on technology that was not yet commercialized in 2020
  • Installed solar hardware that has at least 40% domestic value
  • Reduce the environmental impact of PV technologies at the end of their useful life by using new materials, designs, and practices, based on a life-cycle impacts benchmark
  • Open new solar markets by ensuring that 1 GWAC of PV installed in 2025 is combined with another use, such as agriculture or building surfaces
