'8GW' of US PV in 2014-15: Solarbuzz

Having ended the year with 12.1GW of installed PV capacity, the US will “approach” the 20GW level by the end of 2015, Solarbuzz says.

By comparison, the US added 8.15GW of solar capacity during 2012-13, a tiny sliver of it coming from CSP and the remainder from PV, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.

While Solarbuzz’s prediction would mean a leveling out – or even a slight decline – for the PV market in the US over the next two years, it still offers tremendous scope for industry growth and maturation in the mid-term, especially in the rooftop segment.
