Texas receives more solar radiation than any other state and is number one in terms of its solar potential. According to an analysis by the Renewable Energy Policy Project, Texas could attract five billion dollars in investment and create six thousand new jobs by the year 2015 in the photovoltaic industry alone, with the right incentives. Texas is a natural world leader in this important industry, but as the rest of the global solar industry is growing at an astounding rate, Texas has not kept pace and lacks a clear roadmap for the future. The Texas Solar Forum brought together a variety of stakeholders, including solar executives, elected officials, manufacturers, electric utility providers, homebuilders, retailers, financiers, entrepreneurs, and other interested parties, to learn about the status of the global solar industry, how citizens in other states and countries have benefited from their thriving solar industries, and potential methods to create similar self-sustaining solar marketplaces in Texas.
