UFLPA

PV Tech Premium looks at how the AD/CVD ruling will impact the US industry moving forward and why the UFLPA will have a bigger impact.

FTC Solar narrowed its loss in Q4 2022 and is expecting improvement in operation this year thanks to the recovery in the US market.

Dan Shreve of Clean Energy Associates discusses five major market trends for the solar and energy storage industries in 2023.

US solar power purchase agreement (PPA) prices continued to climb in Q4 2022, as supply chain blockages and uncertain legislation increase costs for developers, according to renewables transaction infrastructure provider LevelTen Energy.

The US’s blocked solar supply chain combined with the threat of operational modules being damaged by extreme weather could leave project developers and asset owners at risk of revenue loss as replacement equipment becomes hard to source.

The US installed 4.6GW of solar capacity during Q3 2022, a 17% decrease from the same period last year, as trade barriers continue to hamper deployment, according to research from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie.

Array Technologies has posted strong financial results with Q3 revenue driven up by STI Norland’s acquisition and strong organic growth within its legacy business.

The CEO of US solar installer Sunrun has called for faster action to reduce import delays that continue to impact the country’s PV industry.

The UFLPA could limit solar deployment through 2023 due to module availability constraints, delaying the benefits of the IRA to 2024 and beyond.

Solar module prices for international markets are expected to fall in tandem with forecasted polysilicon price reductions as of 2023, according to research from Clean Energy Associates (CEA).
