Quarterly Solar Industry Update | Department of Energy

Analysts expect about 42 GW dc of U.S. PV installations for 2024, up about a quarter from 2023. The United States installed approximately 3.5 GW-hours (GWh) (1.3 GW ac) of energy storage onto the electric grid in Q1 2024—its largest first quarter on record, though significantly lower than installations in the previous three quarters.

Spring 2023 Solar Industry Update

• In 2022, global PV shipments were approximately 283 GW—an increase of 46% from 2021. • In 2022, 96% of PV shipments were mono c-Si technology, compared to 35% in 2015. • N-type mono c-Si grew to 51% - up from 20% in 2021 (and 5% in 2019). • In 2022, the United States produced a around 5 GW of PV modules.
