VP Harris Promotes Clean Energy and Jobs with Major Solar Power Order Announcement.
Vice President Kamala Harris will announce a commitment between Qcells and Summit Ridge Energy to deploy 1.2 GW of community solar power, generating enough clean electricity to power 140,000 homes and businesses. The deal will require the manufacturing of 2.5 million solar panels and is the largest community solar order in U.S. history. The new plan is catalyzed by tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act, and the panels will likely be deployed in Illinois, Maine, and Maryland.
