Powering the Future: How Solar is Scaling to Meet Surging Energy Demand

Our team was at Intersolar North America 2025 this week, and one thing was clear—solar and storage must scale at a very rapid pace to meet surging demand. From the rise of AI-driven energy consumption to policy uncertainties and the need for better technology, the industry is at a critical inflection point. The conversations in San Diego reinforced that the future of clean energy depends on smarter execution, seamless collaboration, and the right tools to accelerate deployment.

Clean, Reliable Power at the Forefront

AI and data centers are dominating the conversation around energy demand, putting clean, reliable power front and center. As cloud computing and AI workloads expand, the grid faces new pressures, amplifying the urgency to deploy distributed, resilient renewable energy solutions. The conversations at Intersolar reinforced what we already know: solar and storage must scale faster than ever to keep up with this surging demand. To meet this challenge, companies need better tools and more efficient project execution to keep pace.

Confidently Navigating Policy Shifts

Despite uncertainty surrounding the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) due to a funding freeze, the outlook for solar remains strong. The numbers speak for themselves—80% of clean tech manufacturing investments will benefit districts that span both sides of the aisle, signaling that much of the IRA’s incentives are likely to endure. While federal policies may shift, industry momentum remains unwavering, driven by the undeniable need for more renewable energy. As Abby Hopper, CEO of SEIA, states, “Solar isn’t a red or blue issue—it’s a red, white, and blue solution.”

Why Sitetracker is Essential Now

A recurring theme at the event: outdated tools are holding teams back. Many companies are still relying on spreadsheets or fragmented systems that don’t support the complete asset lifecycle, as a result creating bottlenecks that slow growth. As renewable energy portfolios expand, the need for a single source of truth—one platform that streamlines development, construction, operations, and asset management—has never been greater. As portfolios scale and the demand for renewables skyrockets, having the right technology in place isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Intersolar North America 2025 made it clear: the industry is moving fast, and companies that embrace better technology and efficient execution will be the ones to lead the charge. As solar and storage grow and scale to meet evolving energy demands, the time to modernize project management is now. Sitetracker is here to help the industry build a cleaner, more resilient energy future—faster than ever.
