Record installations expected in 2016 will put the US within a stone’s throw of challenging China’s position as the world number one solar market this year.
Launched on the fringes of the COP21 climate talks in Paris in December, the Global Solar Council has wasted no time in getting down to the task at hand.
A new report from GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) forecasts 2015 as the biggest year ever for US solar with record-breaking estimates for the fourth quarter.
The road will be “bumpy”, but solar in the US will continue outstripping predictions by traditional energy forecasters, reaching its next order of magnitude increase in installed capacity by 2030, according to an analyst at GTM Research.
