Nature Energy, Published online: 09 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41560-025-01750-8Results from a large-scale survey of low-to-moderate income households in the USA show that the installation of rooftop solar panels decreased energy insecurity by 15–46% across five different measures. Policies that support the uptake of rooftop solar could therefore be used to reduce the incidence of energy insecurity.
