Exactly how a forced-labor prevention act might impact U.S. solar panel imports
Solar energy is the fastest-growing resource of electrical power in the country. From 2014 to 2019 generation virtually tripled, and, thanks to dropping prices and also the new Biden administration's environment-friendly agenda, financial investments are expected to surge in the year in advance. However, a new regulation is making its means through Congress that endangers to present a major trouble to the U.S. companies riding this hot streak-- unless they start preparing now.

Solar supporting peacekeeping in DR Congo
A report by the Powering Peace organization states UN missions in the Democratic Republic of Congo could reduce expense and pollution by using off-grid solar to power operations instead of diesel generators. Adding a 200 kW solar system with 200 kW/450 kWh of energy storage would reduce diesel consumption 80% for 10-year savings of almost $2.6 million, states the group.
