We expect solar will supply almost all growth in U.S.

We expect solar electric generation will be the leading source of growth in the U.S. electric power sector. In our January Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), which contains new forecast data through December 2025,

The State of the Solar Industry

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY SOLAR ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES OFFICE | 2024 PEER REVIEW 6 U.S. Residential PV Penetration • At the end of 2023, SEIA estimates there were nearly 5 million residential PV systems in the United States. – 3.3% of households own or lease a PV system (or 5.3% of households living in single-family detached structures).

Solar power in the United States

The United States conducted much early research in photovoltaics and concentrated solar power. It is among the top countries in the world in electricity generated by the sun and several of the world''s largest utility-scale installations are located in the desert Southwest.

Record numbers of solar panels were shipped in the United States

U.S. solar panel shipments include imports, exports, and domestically produced and shipped panels. In 2021, about 80% of U.S. solar panel module shipments were imports, primarily from Asia. U.S. solar panel shipments closely track domestic solar capacity additions; differences between the two usually result from the lag time between shipment

Solar Market Insight Report – SEIA

Solar accounted for 64% of all new electricity-generating capacity added to the US grid through Q3 2024. US solar now produces enough electricity annually to power over 37 million homes. Domestic module manufacturing capacity

Solar Market Insight Report – SEIA

Solar accounted for 64% of all new electricity-generating capacity added to the US grid through Q3 2024. US solar now produces enough electricity annually to power over 37 million homes. Domestic module manufacturing capacity increased substantially again in the third quarter, by over 9 GW to nearly 40 GW.

Quarterly Solar Industry Update

The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that the United States installed 15.6 GW ac of solar capacity in in the first quarter (Q1)/second quarter (Q2) of 2024 (the Solar Energy Industries Association reported 21.4 GW dc)—a 55% increase from the record achieved in Q1/Q2 2023.

Solar panel shipments set a record high in 2022 as capacity

U.S. solar panel shipments include imports, exports, and domestically produced and shipped panels. In 2022, about 88% of U.S. solar panel shipments were imports, primarily from Asia. Over the past decade, U.S. solar capacity has boomed, which includes both utility-scale solar farms (with one megawatt of capacity or more) and small-scale solar.

We expect solar will supply almost all growth in U.S. electricity

We expect solar electric generation will be the leading source of growth in the U.S. electric power sector. In our January Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), which contains new forecast data through December 2025, we forecast new capacity will boost the solar share of total generation to 5.6% in 2024 and 7.0% in 2025, up from 4.0% in 2023.

Solar power in the United States

OverviewSolar potentialHistorySolar photovoltaic powerConcentrated solar power (CSP)Government supportSee alsoFurther reading

Solar power includes solar farms as well as local distributed generation, mostly on rooftops and increasingly from community solar arrays. In 2023, utility-scale solar power generated 164.5 terawatt-hours (TWh), or 3.9% of electricity in the United States. Total solar generation that year, including estimated small-scale photovoltaic generation, was 238 TWh.
