This could be a sign of a “healthy, competitive marketplace" according to research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

The US distributed solar sector added 808,349 new operational systems in 2023, a record figure for a 12-month period.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) research shows that the use of solar panels on US homes can cut energy burden to as low as 1.3%.

Residential solar installations in California since the introduction of the NEM 3.0 have been roughly equal to the amount in the prior year.

With more than 1TW of solar waiting for grid connection, PV Tech Premium looks at where the PV capacity is queued up in the US.

Grid connection backlog increased by 27% YOY in the US with about 2.6TW of generation and storage capacity now seeking grid interconnection.

Nearly 1TW of solar PV capacity had interconnection queues at the end of 2022, according to a research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).

Residential solar systems in the US continue to grow in size at the same time as battery attachment rates increase, according to LBNL.

There was almost 1TW of renewable energy capacity and an estimated 427GW of storage active in US interconnection queues at the end of 2021 according to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) analysis, which also showed that queues were growing year-on-year.
