3. Market size and growth trends
Overall size: The U.S. photovoltaic market continues to grow against the backdrop of the global energy transition. According to TrendForce Consulting’s forecast, the newly installed photovoltaic capacity in the United States is expected to reach 60GW in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 20%, and the overall growth rate will slow down slightly. This shows that despite the slowdown in growth, the U.S. photovoltaic market still maintains a high level of growth.
Growth drivers: The growth of the U.S. photovoltaic market is mainly driven by multiple factors such as government policy support, increased demand for clean energy, and technological advancement. In particular, the Biden administration has provided more than $100 billion in grant support to the photovoltaic industry through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and established a green energy fund, accelerating the energy transition in the United States.
4. Market Competition Pattern
Corporate competition: The U.S. photovoltaic market is highly competitive, and many photovoltaic companies are rushing to seize this market. FirstSolar, CanadianSolar, HanwhaQCells, SunPower, JinkoSolar and other companies have occupied a place in the US market with their high-efficiency and cost-effective products.
Local and foreign companies: Domestic companies in the United States such as First Solar have a leading position in the field of thin film photovoltaic modules, while foreign companies such as China’s Canadian Solar, Jinke, JA Solar, etc. are also actively deploying in the U.S. market and improving through technological innovation and market expansion. competitiveness.
5. Market challenges and opportunities
Policy changes: The U.S. photovoltaic market faces challenges brought about by policy changes. The Trump administration’s tariff policy has increased taxes on imported solar products, increasing the cost of photovoltaic projects and may affect the speed and scale of solar installations in the United States. However, the policy support of the Biden administration provides a strong guarantee for the continued development of the photovoltaic market.
Supply chain issues: The U.S. photovoltaic market also faces supply chain issues. Although Southeast Asia is the main import region for U.S. battery components, trade barriers and supply chain issues continue to limit the release of demand for installed machines. However, with the expansion of domestic production capacity in the United States and the expansion of import routes from the four non-Southeast Asian countries, supply chain problems are expected to be alleviated.
Technological progress: Technological progress is an important factor driving the development of the U.S. photovoltaic market. As the efficiency of solar photovoltaic panels increases and energy storage technology continues to improve, the cost of photovoltaic systems continues to decrease, attracting more and more households, commercial and industrial customers to choose photovoltaic energy storage systems.
6. Market segmentation and demand
Residential market: Household users can improve energy self-sufficiency, reduce dependence on the power grid, and reduce electricity bills by installing photovoltaic energy storage systems. Especially in areas with high electricity prices and abundant sunshine, such as California and Hawaii, there is a high demand for residential photovoltaic energy storage systems.
Commercial and industrial markets: Demand for photovoltaic energy storage systems is also growing among businesses, especially large commercial facilities and industrial parks. The main purpose of these companies is to reduce peak electricity prices, reduce dependence on the power grid, and improve the stability and reliability of electricity use.
Grid energy storage: Grid energy storage plays an important role in large-scale power demand management. Energy storage systems can store electricity during off-peak hours and release it during peak hours to ensure a stable supply of electricity.
