SEIA: over quarter of solar systems installed since IRA passage in US


Currently, over 50% of US solar installations, including residential, C&I and large scale ground mounted solar, have come online since 2020.

Recently, PV Tech reported that residential solar PV installations in California since the introduction of the NEM 3.0 – a billing structure of California’s rooftop solar net metering scheme – have been roughly equal to the amount in the prior year, with more customers installing battery energy storage systems (BESS). “Solar is scaling by the millions because it consistently delivers on its promise to lower electricity costs, boost community resilience, and create economic opportunities. Solar is quickly becoming the dominant source of electricity on the grid, allowing communities to breathe cleaner air and lead healthier lives,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of SEIA.
