After the US President Biden, he actively promoted the development of basic construction and renewability, and continued to promote the settlement of PV. The latest "The Solar Automated Permit Processing, SolarApp +) accelerates local governments to automatically approve photovoltaic applications. The application is in California and Arizona test results, and the application time is shorter from an average of 20 days. It is expected to speed up the progress of the US household photovoltaic machine.

The Biden government plans to give US electricity supply to the US electricity in 2035 to achieve the overall carbonless economy in 2050. If it is as scheduled, the US Department of Energy estimates that the photovoltaic machine must speed up five times, SolaraPp + is one of the programs of improvement efficiency. In addition, the US PV Association, Wind, Hydrogen Energy, and Industry Association, jointly requested the US government to extend Investment Tax Credit (ITC), and believe that more renewable energy-related work opportunities will be created.

In addition, the renewal energy industry association also proposes "Direct Payment Terms", which is similar to the 1603 expiration of 2011, and the US government launched this preferential measures when the 2009 financial turmoil, allowing the renewable energy plan to get financially directly The department is noted, and it will eventually attract a quite $ 90 billion investment. However, there is also a review that tax subsidies such as ITC will not assist the photovoltaic industry's only solution, and can turn the course of carbon discharge tax, promote renewable energy transformation.

According to SEIA, the United States added 5GW photovoltaic machine volume in the first quarter of this year, including 58% of the new Q1 new packaging machine in the United States, which is mostly wind energy, which means that the US Q1 new installed power generation is almost renewable energy. . It is estimated that the US will increase the amount of 160GW installed in the next five years. At the same time, SEIA also called on the United States to reach 50GW in 2030, in response to the competitive environment of supporting its own photovoltaic industry.

“The question is how did, and where did, the virus take seed,” Althoff said. The new study indicates “it probably seeded in multiple places in our country,” she added.
