I-Environment America ithi kwingxelo entsha ukuba i-solar ephahleni inokuhlangabezana ne-45% yemfuno yombane wase-US, nangona okwangoku kuphela i-1.5% yokusetyenziswa kombane.
Phakathi kwemithombo ekhokelayo yombane, i-solar inenzuzo ekhethekileyo yokukwazi ukufakwa ngendlela esasazwayo, idibanise nendawo eyakhiweyo, ukugcinwa komhlaba kunye nokunciphisa iimfuno zeziseko zokuhambisa. I-solar yokuhlala ye-Rooftop inokubonelela ngokulondolozwa kweebhilikhwe zabanikazi bezindlu okanye ukuqikelelwa kwexabiso kwixesha elide, kwaye xa idityaniswe nebhetri, inikezela ngexabiso elongezelelweyo lamandla okulondoloza kunye nokuqina kwemozulu egqithisileyo.
Ingxelo entsha evela kwi-Environment America, "I-Rooftop Solar on the Rise," ibhiyozele ukukhula okubalulekileyo okwenziwa yilanga ephezu kophahla kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo, kwaye yabeka umgaqo weenqwelo-moya omde wokubakho okuzayo.
I-Environment America ibonise amandla obugcisa obusebenzayo kwi-solar ephahleni e-United States, ifumanisa ukuba inokusebenzela i-45% yemfuno yombane yase-US ngokusekelwe kumanqanaba angama-2022. Ngo-2022, i-solar ephezu kophahla yenze malunga ne-1.5% yombane osetyenzisiweyo.
Kwi-2002, kuphela i-147 GWh eyenziwa yi-solar, ngo-2021, elo nani liye landa kwi-5,959 GWh. Ukusukela ekupheleni kuka-2022, ukuveliswa kwelanga ephahleni kuye kwanda ukuya kwi-61,281 GWh, okanye i-61 TWh. Ngaphezulu kwe-3.9 yezigidi zemizi yaseMelika ikhethe ukuqhubela phambili kunye nophahla lwelanga.
Ukanti, le ngxelo iphawula ukuba iUnited States “ikrwempa kuphela” xa kufikelelwa kumba wokucofa amandla ophahla ukuze kupheliswe umbane wasekuhlaleni nococekileyo. Iipaneli zelanga kwizakhiwo ezincinci, kubandakanywa namakhaya, zinamandla okongeza i-926 TWh yesizukulwana. Indlela yokusebenza yokufika kweli totali inokufumaneka kwingxelo.
Izakhiwo ezinkulu, ezithe tyaba zorhwebo nemizi-mveliso zimele elinye ithuba lophuhliso. I-Environment America ithe ii-warehouses zizodwa zinamandla okusingatha i-185 TWh yesizukulwana ngonyaka ngamnye, ngokwaneleyo ukunika amandla ngaphezu kwe-19 yezigidi zamakhaya ase-US. Izakhiwo ezingaphezulu kwe-100,000 ezinkulu zokuthengisa kulo lonke elase-United States zinokubamba amandla aneleyo kwimfuno elinganayo yeminye imizi ye-8 yezigidi, yatsho ingxelo.
Uphahla lwelanga oluphahleni lubonelela “izinto ezininzi eziluncedo kwimekobume nakubathengi,” yatsho le ngxelo. Oku kuquka ukunciphisa imfuneko yezixhobo zombane ezimdaka kunye neentambo zothumelo ezibiza imali eninzi, ukubonelela ngeendleko eziphantsi, kwaye kunokunceda ekwandiseni igridi yokumelana nemozulu embi kakhulu kunye nezinye izothuso.
Ilanga elisasazwayo linceda ukucudisa eminye imithombo ekhuphayo kwigridi. Thatha i-1.4 GW Mystic Generating Station esebenzela ummandla wegridi we-ISO New England. Isityalo segesi yendalo sasisetyenziselwa ukutshiswa ebusika ukukhusela ukucima, kodwa umqhubi wegridi uthe ukunyuka kwamandla elanga kuye kwenza igridi ithembekile ngokwaneleyo ukuvala i-Mystic. Ngaphezulu kwe-5.4 GW yelanga, uninzi lwayo eluphahleni, incede ukuba kube lula ukutshintshela kude kumafutha efosili, nokuba kusebusika baseNew England.
Olunye uncedo lokusingqongileyo kwi-solar eluphahleni kukuncitshiswa kokusetyenziswa komhlaba kuphuhliso lwamandla, maxa wambi kubhekiselwa kuko “njenge-energy sprawl.” Kwigigawathi nganye yesolar efakwe eluphahleni efakwe endaweni yeeprojekthi zobungakanani bomsebenzi, ngaphezulu kweehektare ezingama-5,200 zomhlaba zigciniwe.
Ngaphaya koko, uphahla lwelanga lwelanga lunokusindisa isizwe kwiimfuno ezikhulayo zothumelo kunye neendleko.
“Ngenxa yokuba i-solar ephezu kophahla ivelisa amandla anokusetyenziswa kwisiza inciphisa imfuneko yothumelo olusuka kwizitishi eziveliswa ngumbindi, nto leyo enokonga amazwe kunye noomasipala ixesha nemali kutshintsho lwamandla abo,” yatsho ingxelo. "Ukufikelela usukelo lwamandla ahlaziyekayo, ukwandiswa kweziseko zothumelo kuya kuba yimfuneko, kodwa ukwandisa amandla ombane welanga ophahleni kunokunceda ukunciphisa inani ekufuneka silakhe."
I-Solar ikwangowona mthombo wesizukulwana esitsha oneendleko eziphezulu kwiimarike ezininzi kunye neemeko ezininzi e-United States. Ngokwe-avareji, isakhiwo esitsha sixabisa i-29% ngaphantsi kwe-fossil fuel alternative elandelayo.
Kubanikazi bezindlu, i-solar ephahleni imele ukonga imali yexesha elide kunye nokuqikelelwa. I-Environment America ithe nangona utyalo-mali lokuqala lunokuba lukhulu, uninzi lwabathengi banokulindela ukwaphuka nakwisithuba seminyaka esibhozo ukuya kwesithoba kwaye banokulindela ukonga phakathi kwe-20,000 yeedola ukuya kwi-96,000 yeedola kwiibhili kubomi beminyaka engama-25 kunye nobomi benkqubo.
