Solar – including both PV and concentrated solar power (CSP) – accounted for 74% of the nameplate capacity additions in the country during Q1, compared to wind’s 20%, and just 4% from natural gas.
Altogether, GTM expects 6.6GW of new PV additions in the US this year, a 33% gain on 2013. The market will grow strongly again over the next two years, reaching nearly 12GW in 2016, before the Investment Tax Credit drops to 10% from its current 30%, GTM says.
