Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory compiled and synthesized empirical data on the U.S. utility-scale solar sector.
Solar accounted for 69% of all new electricity-generating capacity added to the US grid in Q1 2025. The US added 8.6 GW of solar module manufacturing capacity in Q1, bringing the total to
The subset of respondents now must report monthly accounts for about 90% of photovoltaic (PV) activity in the United States, based on 2021 data. Data collected on both the
In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.
34 countries installed more than 1 GW of new capacity in 2024; 23 countries now exceed 10 GW in total installed capacity. Utility-scale PV led global installations,
Find up-to-date statistics and facts on the global solar photovoltaic industry.
Supply chain of PV solar panels is at risks due to trade barriers and shortage of raw material. China controls the supply of materials, manufacturing, installations, and recycling capacity.
While its semiconductor-grade sales increased, its solar-grade polysilicon volumes declined, which Wacker attributed to overcapacity in China, high inventories, and uncertainty in tariffs.
Each quarter, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory conducts the Quarterly Solar Industry Update, a presentation of technical trends within the
