U.S. solar industry warns of slowdown due to supply chain disruptions, tariff uncertainty

U.S. power company Southern Co on Thursday said nearly a gigawatt of its planned solar energy projects would be delayed by a year, the latest in a string of warnings from companies and industry representatives citing the two issues. A slowdown in the solar industry's growth could pose a threat to the Biden administration's climate goals, which include decarbonizing the U.S. power sector by 2035 through the widespread adoption of wind and solar energy.
