"A 2023 study that examined 75 emissions-reduction scenarios concluded that global reserves of critical materials are likely adequate to meet future demand for electricity generation infrastructure. Production rates for many critical materials will need to grow substantially, but '[g]lobal mineral reserves should adequately meet needs posed by power sector material demand.' The United States Department of the Interior has likewise concluded that '[o]ther than perhaps short term interruptions resulting from market forces or geopolitical events, it is not anticipated that there will be any long term material constraints that would prevent the development of a significant amount of energy from photoelectric cells.'"

"Complete reliance on solar generation, without battery storage, wind power, or long-distance transmission, would pose intermittency challenges. However, an increasing number of planned solar projects are set to include an energy storage component, and solar, wind and storage together can provide the majority of the country’s electricity without compromising reliability."

"Solar panels generate energy even in cold or cloudy conditions. Although cloudy weather may reduce power generation by as much as 45%, substantial energy can still be generated during those conditions. Cold temperatures, however, do not reduce output at all and actually increase solar panel efficiency by increasing voltage."

"Unsubsidized solar energy is now generally cheaper than fossil fuels. According to the International Energy Agency’s 2020 World Energy Outlook, photovoltaic solar power is 'the cheapest source of new electricity generation in most parts of the world,' and '[f]or projects with low cost financing that tap high quality resources, solar PV is now the cheapest source of electricity in history.'"

"Data across multiple studies show that utility-scale solar projects do not have major impacts on the values of surrounding properties. Rather, the installation of a solar farm typically has only a minor impact on the value of homes closest to it. The most comprehensive study to date, which examined over 1.8 million home transactions near 1,500 large-scale photovoltaic projects across six states, found relatively minor impacts on property values. Homes located within 0.5 miles of solar farms were found to experience price reductions of 1.5%, compared to properties 2–4 miles away. Homes located more than 1 mile from a solar farm were found to experience no statistically significant effect on its price."

"Although the United States still imports a majority of the solar panels it installs, domestic solar manufacturing is on the rise, especially following passage of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). In 2022, the United States manufactured approximately 10% more solar panels than in 2021. This share is likely to grow as manufacturers take advantage of IIJA and IRA incentives to open factories in the United States. In addition, as previously noted, roughly 65% of today’s U.S. solar production jobs are in project development and 6% are in operations or maintenance, most of which cannot be outsourced."

"Solar development creates significantly more jobs per unit of energy generated than other types of energy production, including natural gas. Moreover, the number of jobs created by the renewable energy industry, including solar, is expected to far exceed the number lost due to a shift away from fossil fuels. The United States ’ Fifth National Climate Assessment predicts that there will be nearly 3,000,000 new solar, wind, and transmission-related jobs by 2050 in a high electrification scenario and 6,000,000 new jobs in a 100% renewable scenario, with less than 1,000,000 fossil fuel-related jobs lost."

"Ambitious solar deployment would utilize a relatively small percentage of U.S. land when compared to the land currently being used for agriculture. The Department of Energy estimated that total U.S. solar development would take up roughly 10.3 million acres in a scenario in which cumulative solar deployment reaches 1,050–1,570 GW by 2050, the highest landuse scenario that DOE assessed in its 2021 Solar Futures Study. If all 10.3 million acres of solar farms were sited on farmland, they would occupy only 1.15% of the 895,300,000 acres of U.S. farmland as of 2021. However, many of these projects will not be located on farmland."

"When properly developed, including by incorporating pollinator habitat in project design, large-scale solar farms can sustain and even increase natural biodiversity. Microclimates within solar farms can enhance botanical diversity, which, in turn can enhance the diversity of the site’s invertebrate and bird populations. In addition, the shade under solar panels can offer critical habitat for a wide range of species, including endangered species. Shady patches likewise prevent soil moisture loss, boosting plant growth and diversity, particularly in areas impacted by climate extremes."

"There is overwhelming evidence that the lifecycle emissions of solar energy are far lower than those of all fossil fuel sources, including natural gas. On average, it takes only three years after installation for a solar panel to offset emissions from its production and transportation. Modern solar panels have a functional lifecycle of 30–35 years, allowing more than enough time to achieve carbon neutrality and generate new emissions-free energy."
https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/sabin_climate_change/217/

"Forests have immense ecological benefits, recreational benefits, and intrinsic value. However, when looking at the narrow but important issue of carbon accounting, it is usually not true that removing trees to build a solar farm negates any emissions reductions from solar generation. In fact, an acre of solar panels in the United States usually offsets significantly more carbon dioxide emissions than an acre of planted trees can sequester."
https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/sabin_climate_change/217/

"The amount of waste that solar panels are expected to generate over the next few decades is trivial compared to the amount of waste that will be generated by fossil fuels. A study published in Nature Physics in October 2023 found that '35 years of cumulative PV module waste (2016-2050) is dwarfed by the waste generated by fossil fuel energy and other common waste streams.'"
