US solar installations expected to be a record 32 GW in 2023

The US solar industry is expecting to install an unprecedented 32GW of new capacity in 2023, according to the SEIA and Wood Mackenzie.

The US solar industry is expecting to install an unprecedented 32 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity in 2023, according to a report released today by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie.

This year’s anticipated installed solar capacity is a 52% surge from 2022, according to the new “US Solar Market Insight Q3 2023” report.

Supply chain bottlenecks as a result of the pandemic and restrictive trade policies have negatively impacted the solar market in recent years. But these challenges are beginning to recede, and as the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) policies gain momentum, Wood Mackenzie expects total US operating solar capacity to grow from 153 GW today to 375 GW by 2028.
