U.S. Hits 2 Million Solar PV Installations

摘要

The solar-energy market has acheived a remarkable milestone, hitting 2 million solar photovoltaic (PV) installations (residential, commercial and utility-scale solar), representing 70 gigawatts across the United States this year, according to a May 9 press release from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and energy research and consultancy group Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables. The solar PV market has experienced an incredibly steep rise over the last decade. While it took the industry 40 years to hit 1 million PV installations, accomplished in 2016, the market has doubled in the three years since then.
