Editor's note: according to the relevant report showed the United States in the third quarter residential solar power a record. Year-on-year growth of 45%, rose 25% to 15 states best residential pv quarter ever made a contribution.
the American solar industry association ( SEIA) And wood Mackenzie power and renewable energy ( WoodMac电力 可再生能源) Jointly issued by the U. S. solar market insight report, U。 S。 太阳能市场洞察报告) In the third quarter, the residential solar power a record.
according to the report, solar energy, in the third quarter of the new 2. 6 gw residential solar power generation capacity, the country's total capacity of 71 residential solar energy market. 3 gw. Residential installed the increase of the solar power capacity grew by 45% year on year, rose 25%, and for the best residential pv quarter ever in 15 states made a contribution.
it is known that solar energy, solar energy equipment, California is still the largest residential solar market, China solar power network, the state in the third quarter to break the record, implementation of nearly 300 megawatts of installed capacity, at present, the state has signed utilities pv projects up to 45. 5 gw. In addition, Idaho, Wyoming, new Mexico, and solar markets such as smaller in Iowa state, because of the continuous prices and the increase of economic competitiveness, the solar energy have achieved record growth in residential installations.
wood Mackenzie, points out that the policy reform impedes the key non-residential markets such as California, Massachusetts and Minnesota's development, and New York, policy support, Maine, Maryland and New Jersey might expand to non-residential areas in the next few years.
SEIA, President and chief executive of Abigail Ross Hopper said: & other; The report shows that the United States to household energy use is changing, gradually increased demand for solar energy, solar energy portal, markets have been prepared for such a shift. If you take corresponding policy, such as the extension of the solar investment tax credit and cease to impose additional duties, will further promote investment growth. ”
senior solar analyst at wood Mackenzie Austin Perea, according to consumer's interest in solar energy and energy storage solutions for growing, it is to promote the residential solar power market continues to grow a big reason.
wood Mackenzie forecast, solar energy generating capacity will reach the United States this year 13 gw, annual rate of about 23%, the solar power installed in the next five years is expected to more than double. According to the United States energy information administration, utility scale power generation in 2018 the United States is about 4. 171 trillion kw, the fossil fuel power generation accounts for more than 63. 6%, renewable energy accounts for more than 16. 9%.
