The Texas Solar Energy Society, led by Patrice Parsons, reflects on the successes of 2024 and looks ahead at the challenges awaiting in 2025. Last year witnessed record-setting demand and installations for solar energy in Texas, mostly on a utility-scale, signaling the importance of maintaining momentum amidst potential threats to solar thriving in the state.

As the 89th legislative session approaches, the focus for TXSES in 2025 will be on educating legislators and monitoring solar-related bills. From supporting bills like HB407 for solar compatibility in residential construction to opposing bills like HB419 that could increase taxes on solar homeowners, TXSES is actively engaging in legislative advocacy to protect and promote solar energy in Texas. Additionally, efforts are underway to streamline the utility interconnection process for distributed solar, aiming to make it easier for homeowners to access solar energy savings.
