Solar Energy: A National Perspective 1.0 Solar Energy: A National Perspective Solar energy is a clean, abundant, renewable energy resource that can benefit the nation by diversifying our energy supply. Solar energy holds tremendous long-term potential to reduce our dependence on imported fuels, improve the quality of the air we breathe, and stimulate the economy by creating jobs in the manufacture and installation of solar systems. The following are key drivers for pursuing greater use of solar energy: • Solartechnologiesprovideelectricity,heating,cooling,anddaylighting, and can even be used to produce hydrogen, which is a clean transportation fuel for the future. • Solarenergyisthemostplentifulandwidelyavailableformofrenewable energy in the United States and throughout the world. • Solar energy is the origin for all fossil fuels, and we never need to worry about solar energy being depleted, as long as the sun continues to shine. Using current solar technology, an area just 100 miles by 100 miles (10,000 square miles) in the southwestern United States could generate as much energy as the entire nation currently consumes. To put the land area in context, 40,000 square miles of Wyoming overlies coal beds. Though generating all the electrical energy we use via solar energy is not the goal of the Solar Energy Technologies Program of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), it does show that solar has the potential to be a significant part of a diversified national energy portfolio. Viable solar energy is not limited to the Desert Southwest, however. In fact, the average sunshine across the United States is 1,800 kilowatt-hours per square meter (kWh/m2) annually, whereas the average sunlight in the Desert Southwest is 2,300 kWh/m2, or about 25% higher than the nation’s average. Solar electricity can actually be more cost effective in New York than Arizona, because electricity prices can be 50% higher in New York than in Arizona. Thousands of small solar power plants—on rooftops, installed as shading for parking lots, or put on brownfields and other abandoned land in every state in the nation—could generate enough solar energy to play a major role in our nation’s energy supply. In the near term, solar energy can reduce demand for natural gas used by utilities to generate electricity or used in buildings for space, water, and process heat. This would allow natural gas—a relatively clean, domestically available, and flexible fuel—to be used in its highest-value applications, which include peak electrical power, transportation fuels, and chemicals, while diversifying our portfolio beyond fossil fuels. Further into the future, solar energy could produce hydrogen to provide transportation fuels, chemicals, and electricity and to serve as energy storage at times when sunshine is not an option.
