The United States solar energy market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 15% during the forecast period of 2020-2025. In terms of competition, the market is fragmented.

Factor such as supportive government policies to meet more energy demand through renewable energy is likely to drive the United States solar energy market. However, the United States is the one of the largest and cheapest producer of natural gas in the world, about 38% of the electricity generated in the country is from natural gas, which is expected to restrain the United States solar energy market.

Key Highlights

    --  The solar photovoltaic (PV) due to a significant decline in the cost of
        installation held a considerable market share in 2018 and is expected to
        dominate the market during the forecast period.
    --  United States government has planned to cut down the cost of electricity
        generation by 50% by 2030. Many states in the country such as
        California, New Jersey, and others have their solar energy targets for
        2030, which are expected to create several opportunities for the United
        States solar energy market in the future.
    --  Upcoming and ongoing projects focused on increasing share of solar in
        renewable energy in the country are likely to drive the United States
        solar energy market during the forecast period.

Market Trends

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Expected to Dominate the Market

    --  In 2019, more than 1.7% of the total electricity generation in the
        United States was from solar photovoltaic (PV), producing 69
        terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, on the other hand, electricity
        generated from solar thermal was 3 terawatt-hours (TWh) thus
        contributing 0.1% of total power in the country. This makes solar
        photovoltaic (PV) source the dominating segment in Israel solar energy
        market.
    --  In May 2019, the First solar announced the completion and commercial
        operation of its California Flats Solar Project. The project uses solar
        photovoltaic (PV) technology and has a total installed capacity of 280
        megawatts (MW).
    --  In 2019, NextEra Energy Resources completed the construction of its Shaw
        Creek Solar energy center in Aiken, South Carolina. The project has a
        total installed capacity of 74.9 megawatts (MW), which features more
        than 270,000 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels.
    --  Therefore, owing to the above projects, the solar photovoltaic (PV)
        segment is likely to dominate the United States solar energy market
        during the forecast period.

Upcoming and Ongoing Projects Expected to Drive the Market

    --  In 2019, the United States added 9114 megawatts (MW) of solar
        installation in the country. The 50 states in the country contribute to
        the solar energy generation. Many counties in the United States has
        planned to go 100% on renewable energy resources.
    --  In 2019, the solar energy plant installation capacity in the United
        States was 62298 megawatts (MW), which was higher than the installation
        capacity of 2018, 53184 megawatts (MW).
    --  In 2020, Ecoplexus Inc, a leading developer and owner of the renewable
        projects, announced the commencement of the Peak Durrance Solar Center
        in Florida. The project is owned by Owned Utilities and is expected a
        total installed capacity of 35 megawatts (MW), which is likely to 125
        gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity annually. The project is expected to
        be complete by 2022.
    --  In November 2019, Cypress Creek Renewables got approval from St.
        Johnsville (NY) planning board to start the construction of the
        Tayandenega Solar project in New York. The is expected to have an
        install capacity of 20 megawatts (MW) and is expected to start by the
        end of 2020.
    --  Hence, owing to the above points, upcoming and ongoing projects in the
        country are expected to drive the United States solar energy market
        during the forecast period.
