Everyone loves rooftop solar. But there’s a problem.
Solar power has grown dramatically in the United States, thanks in part to the millions of solar panels installed on the roofs of people's homes. But rooftop solar might not be the cheapest, most efficient way for the country to meet its climate goals.
Today, host Martine Powers talks with The Post’s climate zeitgeist reporter Shannon Osaka about the benefits and challenges of rooftop solar panels, and why rooftop solar is more expensive than solar farms. Shannon also shares advice about how to take advantage of solar tax credits before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House.
