Texas has the greatest solar
resource potential in the nation. We can protect our environment and
move to a cleaner energy future by using our technological know how to
tap into solar energy. From the NASA researchers innovating new solar
technologies at Johnson Space Center to the small businesses installing
solar panels on Texas rooftops, solar power is already a reality here
in Texas. Attractive for its clean, reliable, and independent energy, solar is being used by schools, homes, even the oil industry! Texas helped create a boom for wind power, and it can do the same for solar.
Solar power has environmental, economic, and health benefits that Texas can harness. Solar meets peak demand, reduces congestion on transmission and distribution lines, creates local jobs, generates pollution-free energy, and provides price stability as there is no associated fuel cost.
Now it's time to help Texas Go Solar by creating rebates and incentives to make it easier for homeowners and businesses to install solar on their rooftops, investing in solar for schools and in large-scale solar farms, and requiring utilities to pay consumers a fair price for surplus electricity they generate.
