A Major Solar Program is a large-scale plan to greatly increase solar energy generation. Such a program could take many different forms, but would likely involve significant government investment in building large solar power plants, research and funding for new solar technologies, simplified permitting processes to make it easier (and less expensive) to install solar energy, or tax incentives to help homeowners, businesses, and utilities install solar panels, for example.

A major solar program would likely also be accompanied by efforts to develop and roll out flexible technologies, such as energy storage systems, and heavy investments in - and improvements to - the power grid so that it might handle all these new clean, green electrons, transporting them to places where they are needed.

Wind and solar already constitute the vast majority of new energy generation being built. However, a major solar program would go further, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from electricity, bringing down electricity prices, creating new jobs in renewable energy, and helping improve energy security by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
