[SEIA, 19 April 2018]

As detailed in the Solar Energy Industries Association’s (SEIA) Solar Means Business 2017 report, the solar industry is being driven largely by America’s top businesses. 4,000 US companies have installed over 2.5 GW of solar capacity spanning around 7,400 projects. Abigail Ross Hopper, the President and CEO of SEIA, spoke of solar as a common-sense answer to energy: “Large corporations have found that going solar not only benefits the environment, but also their bottom-line, satisfying both shareholders and customers alike.” Some companies pursuing an aggressive solar agenda include: Target (who ranked number 1 in 2017 solar installations), Walmart, Apple, Macy’s, and Amazon.
