SEIA and US solar leaders call on Congress to ‘support legislation’ to ease solar permitting and transmission

The US Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has sent a letter, containing close to 200 signatures from solar and storage companies in the US, to the US Congress, calling on the body to accelerate legislative reform for solar projects in the US.
