"The US has now officially surpassed 5 million solar installations, a
significant landmark in its shift toward clean energy, according to data
released by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie.
The 5 million milestone comes just eight years after the US achieved its first
million in 2016 – a stark contrast to the four decades it took to reach that
initial milestone since the first grid-connected solar project in 1973.
Since the beginning of 2020, more than half of all US solar installations have
come online, and over 25% have been activated since the Inflation Reduction Act
became law 20 months ago. Solar arrays have been installed on homes and
businesses and as utility-scale solar farms. The US solar market was valued at
$51 billion in 2023.
SEIA president and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper said, “Today, 7% of homes in America
have solar, and this number will grow to over 15% of US homes by 2030. Solar is
quickly becoming the dominant source of electricity on the grid, allowing
communities to breathe cleaner air and lead healthier lives.”"
