About the Solar Energy Market
According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), in the last decade, solar has experienced a compound annual growth rate of nearly 60% and over 200,000 Americans work in the sector. More than 400,000 American workers are expected to serve the sector by 2020.
Furthermore, the cost to install solar has dropped by more than 70% over the last 10 years, leading the industry to expand into new markets and deploy thousands of systems nationwide.
The US solar industry expects to install14.5 gigawatts of solar power in 2016, a 94% increase over the record 7.5 gigawatts last year, according to a new market report by GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association. Revenues from solar installations also increased 21% from 2014 to more than $22bn in 2015.
For the first time, more solar systems came online than natural gaspower plants – the top source of electricity in the US – in 2015, as measured in megawatts, said Justin Baca, vice president of markets and research at the Solar Energy Industries Association. This year, new solar is expected to surpass installations of all other sources, said the US Energy Information Administration.
