This FAQ sheet briefly discusses details in each of these four areas. It also explains the federal role in solar electricity, specifically, the U.S. Department of Energy's PV Program, whose twofold purpose is to accelerate thedevelopment of PV as a global energy option and to assure U.S. technology and global market leadership.
