The United States in February by solar energy cumulative installed more than 2 million users

Solar photovoltaic net news: according to Wood Mackenzie energy consultancy and solar energy industries association ( SEIA) Report, as of February, the total solar power users more than 2 million, in February 2016 after installed more than 1 million users, it took just three years again break through 1 million.

in fact, this is more than Wood Mackenzie ( And GTM Research Research) 2 years some a little more. Taking into account all market analysts had underestimated the significant growth of solar energy, this is a very interesting details.

first of all, you have to understand, is a person in this number represents the user, rather than the solar panels or wattage. Although installed in every household solar power is only a very small installed capacity, but this is a huge number.

10 years or longer after a continuous and stable growth, in the first quarter of 2017, the U. S. residential solar market collapse, have been unable to return to the end of 2016.

there are many reasons for this. Wood Mackenzie and SEIA cited tesla change after acquisition of SolarCity, give up the original door-to-door, turning to the tesla store solar energy, is now in the Internet. The result is solar installations and tesla sharp decline in market share.

however, the resulting is a mess, SunEdison acquisition failure Vivint Solar also withdrew its efforts in sales, lead to install populations, which means that one became one of the three residential Solar companies in the United States the only company that did not withdraw from the market.

at the same time, a California net metering 2. 0 policy, which not only weaken the economic benefits of residential solar energy, and make the biggest market in the United States sales solar energy becomes more complicated.

however, although there are so many difficulties, residential solar energy costs are still falling, especially the tesla slash online sales price, at least it will force other businesses also lowering their prices.

in addition, in California, all new single-family residential or low-rise residential buildings must use solar energy, or sign a contract with community solar project, the move is expected to bring a significant boost to the California solar market. In new residential solar installation also greatly reduce the cost of residential solar, the policy is likely to spread to other states.

on the basis of previous work, we think that at least some factors would like Wood Mackenzie forecast, the American solar installation users will reach 3 million in 2021, 2023 to 4 million.

SEIA, chairman and chief executive of Abigail Ross Hopper said: & other; We believe in the 20 s of this century, solar energy will become the main source of energy. ” And not just solar. Decreasing because of the cost of the lithium ion battery and use time conversion rate, according to the report, residential solar power company said that as the proportion of solar energy in the market, the importance of storage also gradually rise, they will sell more + solar energy storage system.
