Solar energy systems can be distributed to generate power at the point of use, decreasing the need for vulnerable and costly power lines. Solar energy systems are already the technology of choice for remote and portable power markets. Solar energy is available during peak daylight hours when electricity use (and price) is at its highest level, thereby easing the burden on current peak-load energy production. Thus, the use of solar energy enhances the security of our national energy supply because sunlight—as an indigenous resource—can be harvested for use in commercial and industrial heating and for electricity production, avoiding the need for fossil fuels in these applications. It will indirectly reduce our need for fossil fuel imports, allowing U.S. supplies of oil and natural gas to meet the demands of transportation and other markets. By reducing our reliance on imported oil and avoiding volatile fossil-fuel markets, solar energy can improve the U.S. trade balance and minimize the effects of world energy price shocks. Clean Energy The advancement of solar energy provides the United States with an opportunity to lead the world to a clean energy future. Solar energy is harnessed by a diverse mixture of technologies that can meet the environmental challenges of today while safeguarding the future. Solar energy produces no pollution, while harnessing the inexhaustible resource of sunlight. Solar energy systems can reduce the impact of global warming and other environmental externalities by reducing fossil-fueled consumption and related pollution (i.e., nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and particulates). In addition to providing broad environmental benefits, taking advantage of solar energy will help to reduce the adverse health-related impacts, particularly on the elderly and children, of burning fossil fuels. 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. Future research into innovative solar-energy concepts will further reduce energy consumption in buildings—leading to zero net-energy use—while increasing the role of solar energy in our nation’s energy supply. GPRA Benefits Estimates The FY 2006 GPRA Benefits Analysis12 projected that if the Solar Program’s technology targets and market expectations are met, the result would be an estimated 13 GW of electric capacity additions, $1.8 billion in energy expenditure savings annually, and 7.6 million metric tons of carbon savings annually by 2025, rising to 62 GW of electric capacity additions, $2.3 billion in energy system cost savings annually, and 36 million metric tons of carbon savings annually by 2050. Although these numbers are substantial, the assumptions and methods underlying the GPRA06 modeling efforts have a significant impact on the estimated benefits, and these results could vary significantly if external factors, such as future energy prices, differ from the “baseline case” assumed for the GPRA06 analysis. In addition, possible changes in public policy and disruptions in the energy system that may affect estimated benefits are not modeled. The benefits estimates reported in GPRA06 thus do not reflect potential additional consumer demand for solar energy due to factors such as increased reliability of service, provision of emergency power backup, and/or improvements in load management capabilities. As a result, the benefits reported in GPRA06 likely understate the demand for solar energy. 2.6 Relationship to Other EERE, DOE, and Federal Programs The Solar Program collaborates with other programs within EERE, other federal agencies, and state, local, and international organizations (see Table 2.6-1). The purpose of these collaborations is to support activities that align with Solar Program goals and add value to Solar Program activities. 12EERE. 2005 (March).
