Utah Solar Energy Association

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is the national trade association for the solar industry in the United States. Established in 1974, SEIA has been a vital force in the growth and development of the solar energy sector, embodying the innovation and entrepreneurship that defines this industry. Our mission is to build a strong solar industry that powers America by advocating for policies that support and promote the expansion of solar energy use.

What We Do

At SEIA, we focus on various initiatives and advocacy efforts aimed at promoting federal, state, and regulatory policy changes that can help the solar industry flourish. Our work includes advocating for rooftop solar, utility-scale solar, and community solar projects, enabling more Americans to access and benefit from clean and affordable solar energy.

We actively engage in regulatory policy, tax policy, climate, and equity initiatives, ensuring that solar energy remains a key player in America's clean energy transition. Our efforts in managing growth, workforce development, land use, and solar development contribute to building a robust and sustainable solar industry.

SEIA also champions environmental justice, ensuring that all communities have equal access to the benefits of solar energy. We address trade, technology, and manufacturing concerns by promoting domestic manufacturing while engaging in international trade to expand the reach of American solar businesses.

Our Resources

SEIA offers valuable resources for its members and the broader solar community. We produce the "Federal Tax Guide for Solar Energy, " an essential guide for the industry in making responsible use of solar tax incentives. In addition, our up-to-date resources on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provide the necessary information and insights for understanding and navigating the new policy landscape.
