The US solar industry hit another record

In the second quarter of 2021, with 5.7 GigaWatts (GWdc) of capacity installed, USA had more solar installations than any other quarterly analysis in the industry’s history. In the first half of 2021, nearly 11 GWdc of solar has come online, more than most of the annual installation volumes from the past decade.

We summarized the main data of the latest Solar Market Insight Report, check it out:

The US officially surpassed 3 million installations of solar energy across all market segments, the vast majority of which are residential systems;
Before the investment tax credit (ITC) fully phases down under current law, the estimate is to solar industry will continue to break annual installation records every year for the next three years;
Utility-scale solar set another record for second-quarter installations at 4.2 GWdc. Texas, Arizona, and Florida accounted for nearly 3 GW of the quarterly total;
Solar accounted for 56% of all new electricity-generating capacity added in the US in the first half of 2021;
