The U.S. House and Senate passed historic legislation that will help boost the use of solar energy in America. Renewable energy provisions in H.R.1424<\/a> include an eight year extension of the 30% solar tax credit and removal of the monetary cap for residential solar electric installations. The President signed it into law on October 3.<\/p>\n

“Renewable energy and energy efficiency are our economic drivers,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Brad Collins, Executive Director of the nonprofit American Solar Energy Society<\/a>. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I applaud members of Congress for coming together to extend the renewable energy tax credits that will strengthen the new energy economy and generate green jobs at a time when they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re needed most.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The organization said in a statement that “the solar provisions in this bipartisan legislation will help position the U.S. as a global leader in the booming solar marketplace, generating thousands of green-collar jobs, promoting energy independence, and helping to tackle climate change.”<\/p>\n
