SOLAR DECLARATION A Million Solar Strong and Counting The adoption of solar energy in America has reached a new height of 1 million installations nationwide. This milestone is the product of American innovation and ingenuity. It is the result of consumers, policy leaders, advocates and an industry of over 200,000 workers who have all helped make the nation’s clean energy revolution a reality. We hereby declare that solar is part of the mainstream energy discussion in this country, and we support a strong role for clean and affordable solar energy as a part of America’s energy portfolio. Solar is being deployed today across all 50 states. Sunshine is powering our working families, our schools and churches, our small businesses and corporate leaders, and rural and urban communities alike. It has taken four decades to reach today’s million solar milestone. And at the rate solar is growing, it will only take two more years to reach 2 million installations. By 2020, solar will nearly quadruple in size to 100 gigawatts (GW) of total capacity from just over 27 GW today. By signing this declaration, we are joining the #millionsolarstrong, and counting, who support the local jobs, economic activity, and stronger, healthier communities that solar energy is generating for all Americans.
