Utility-scale solar PV capacity added in 2022 reached nearly 13GW in the US, a drop from the previous year as supply chain constraints, and sourcing difficulties for solar panels slowed down the pace.
A total of 4.7GW of utility-scale solar capacity was installed in Q4 2022 in the US, but the difficulties in sourcing modules caused a delay in installations, according to industry body the American Clean Power Association.
PV has outpaced wind as the preferred choice for corporate buyers in the US, with utility-scale solar accounting for 58% of the total contracted clean power to date, according to trade body the American Clean Power Association (ACP).
The US installed 1,877MW of utility-scale solar during Q3 2022, a 23% drop year-on-year, amidst ongoing policy issues, according to trade body the American Clean Power Association (ACP).
President Joe Biden used his first State of the Union address to emphasise the need for more renewables investment and tax incentives to speed up solar deployment.
