Solar City USA: Energy Revolution Simplified
Why Solar Energy Adoption Stalled in 2023
You've probably heard solar power could save households $1,500 annually. But why did residential installations drop 12% last quarter according to the 2023 Renewable Energy Monitor? Three roadblocks keep tripping homeowners:

- Battery storage limitations during grid outages
- Confusing state-specific tax credit paperwork
Wait, no – let's correct that. The actual figure for battery complaints was higher. Actually, 68% of surveyed homeowners cited storage reliability as their top concern in Solar City USA's latest market study.
