According to a recent report from the Center for Biological Diversity,
the blocking is due to poor non-existent policies of US states.
The report found that, of the 10 high-solar-potential states, seven
are lacking mandatory renewable portfolio standards (RPS), while the three
states with mandatory RPSs in place — Michigan, Texas and Wisconsin — have
already met their low targets and have not taken steps to update their
policies. In addition, the report said that Alabama, Tennessee and Texas have
no mandatory net metering policy in place.
Texas, which stands in second place in rooftop solar potential behind California, is in 12th place in installed capacity, the report said, adding that the state’s legislature and regulators have consistently blocked progress on distributed solar policy for the last decade.
