In this white paper, Hitachi Energy explores the reasons behind the rapid growth of solar in North America, the importance of optimizing energy management, regulation, and distribution, and how collaboration will play a central role in building a sustainable energy future for us all. 

From 2022 to 2027, renewable energies are forecasted to account for greater than 90% of global electricity capacity expansion, with the International Energy Agency (IEA) reporting the largest increase ever in global renewable capacity additions in 2023, with solar PV additions accounting for two-thirds of this increase in renewable power capacity. 

Utility-scale solar projects can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower electricity costs, and enhance grid reliability by harnessing the sun's abundant energy. But how will the challenges of aging grid infrastructure, evolving grid codes, and supply chains impact the implementation of solar on a national scale?
