Findings from the NC Clean Energy Technology Center’s
year-end solar report
While solar policy debates have already been raging for
several years, the discussion is far from over.
Nearly every single U.S. state took some type of policy
action related to distributed solar in 2016, according to the NC Clean Energy
Technology Center's (NCCETC) year-end edition of The 50 States of Solar. A total of 212 solar policy
actions were taken by states and utilities across the country, which represents
37 more actions than in 2015. These developments occurred in 47 states plus
Washington, D.C.
