Our updated forecasts for the current policy status quo show the U.S. solar industry will install 40.5 GW dc in 2024, followed by average annual volumes of at least 43 GW dc from 2025-2029. This year, installations are expected to decline slightly (2%), driven mostly by the expected 26% decline in the residential segment.
The massive step up in solar capacity installations in 2023 and 2024 has shifted perceptions around solar's role in the energy transition. Solar will likely add more GWs in 2024 than the entire global increase in coal power capacity since 2010 (540 GW).
According to EIA data, the United States installed 15.8 GWac of PV in the first 9 months of 2023—a record—up 31% y/y (SEIA reported 19.3 GWdc). EIA projects the percentage of U.S. electric capacity additions from solar will grow from 46% in 2022 (18 GWac) to 54% in 2023 (31 GWac), 63% in 2024 (44 GWac), and 71% in 2025 (51 GWac).
Actual reported data for 2024 is available to July with the exception for the US where the last reported datapoint is June. Data for some national sources including China have been converted from GW (AC) to GW (DC). China's solar installations from January to June 2024 surpassed the country's total solar additions in 2022.
After the high levels of additions in the last two years, annual solar installations would only have to show relatively modest levels of growth to meet this. BNEF forecasts average growth of 6% per year from 2024 to 2030. They reported 76% growth in 2023 and are expecting 33% in 2024.
