USA To Increase Solar Power Generation

The USA used to be the leader in solar power generation across the world, but it has fallen behind in recent years.

However, experts are predicting that the USA can overtake world leaders Japan and Germany in solar power market and reclaim their position at the top. These experts also agree that in order for the U.S. to successfully reclaim its leadership position, continued government investment in this emerging technology market is required.

"In the coming years, we will see a changing of the torch," Weber said. "The biggest market, the most exciting market, should be the United States."

Government rebates, like the ones in Germany, are essential if the US is to once again become the world leader in solar energy. U.S. policymakers at the state and federal levels are being urged to heed the German example.

Japan, in contrast, has seen a dramatic decrease in market share following a decision to retract government subsides. Not a wise move!

The USA, with its history of technological innovation in the field of solar energy has some major decisions to make.

With the combined powers of innovation and government investment, the U.S. is well positioned to bounce back as a leader in solar power. Failing that, the country that was once a shining beacon in the quest for renewable alternatives could be left behind.
