Solar energy produces no pollution while harnessing the inexhaustible resource of sunlight. Solar energy systems can reduce the impact of global warming by replacing fossil-fueled technologies that pollute the air with nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and particulates. By taking advantage of solar energy, the United States can meet the Clear Skies Initiative, which requires a mandatory 70% reduction in air pollution. Furthermore, incorporating solar energy can reduce particulate emissions, which have been inextricably linked to adverse health effects, particularly on the elderly and children. Beyond electricity production, solar energy can be integrated into building designs to provide heat and light. Current applications of solar water heating have already lowered energy bills for millions of homes worldwide. In addition to cheap and reliable energy, Americans are demanding clean, environmentally friendly energy that does not contribute to pollution or global warming. For example, a recent survey in Massachusetts revealed that nearly 51% of persons polled said were willing to pay more for renewable energy.3 Future research into innovative solar-energy concepts will further reduce energy consumption in buildings—perhaps to zero net-energy use—while increasing the solar signature as part of our nation’s energy supply. Diversity and Reliability of Electric Supply (Energy Security) Domestic solar energy will increase the nation’s energy supply and provide expanded opportunities to enhance the reliability of our energy infrastructure, thus creating a more stable environment for economic growth. The distributed, modular characteristics of solar energy offer tremendous flexibility for both grid-connected and off-grid electricity applications. Distributed energy technologies are expected to supply an increasing share of the electricity market to improve power quality and reliability problems that have cost the United States economy $119 billion a year4 from power outages and disturbances. Parabolic-trough technology is currently the most proven of the solar-thermal-electric technologies. Nine commercial-scale solar-electric generating stations, the first of which began operating in 1984, produce electricity in the California Mojave Desert. Ranging in size from 14 to 80 MW, together they have a total installed capacity of 354 MW—enough power for 100,000 homes. The current cost of parabolic-trough electricity production is about $0.12 per kWh. Through a range of updates including technical and operating improvements, increasing plant size, and use of thermal storage, industry expects to reduce costs to between $0.05 and $0.06 per kWh. 3Opinion Dynamics Corporation Survey for the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, http://www.mtpc.org/RenewableEnergy/green_power/cons_agg/cons_summary.htm 4Electric Power Research Institute, Consortium for Electric Infrastructure to Support a Digital Society, http://ceids.epri.com/ceids/Docs/outage_utilityspotlight_072301.pdf Solar Energy Technologies Program Multi-Year Technical Plan 10
