Newsletter

The dawn of solar energy is here, painting a brighter, cleaner, and more sustainable picture for our world. The year 2023 is witnessing an array of exciting trends in the solar industry, making solar technology more accessible and appealing to various segments of society. Here’s a roundup of the global solar trends that are making waves this year:

1. Unprecedented Growth in the US:

The U.S. solar industry is booming, with a record expansion of 32GW anticipated in 2023. This surge represents a 52% growth compared to 2022, bouncing back from a 13% market contraction in the previous year. Governmental support has been instrumental in fueling this growth, with investment incentives under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)  allocating around $370 billion to clean energy and climate change initiatives. The focus on domestic manufacturing is expected to improve supply conditions, paving the way for a ten-fold increase in US solar module manufacturing by 2026.

2. Job Creation and Economic Growth:

Solar energy is not just brightening our homes but also our job prospects. In Utah, for instance, solar jobs are leading the construction boom, even outpacing the traditional petroleum and natural gas sectors.

3. The Spread of Solar Globally:

Solar technology is reaching new corners of the globe, with shared solar providing an entry point for more households and small businesses. This trend is democratizing access to solar energy, especially in regions where it was previously deemed unaffordable or inaccessible.

4. India’s Solar Evolution:

India is stepping into a new era of solar energy, emphasizing domestic manufacturing and supply chain independence. These steps are expected to bolster India’s solar industry and reduce dependency on imports, aligning with the broader vision of a self-reliant nation.

5. Europe’s Solar Dynamics:

While the exact details are still unfolding, trade tariffs on solar imports are influencing the solar landscape in Europe. This situation is worth monitoring as it unfolds, impacting both the cost and accessibility of solar solutions in the region.

6. Residential and Utility-Scale Solar Growth:

The U.S. has seen a significant uptick in both residential and utility-scale solar installations. In the first half of 2023 alone, Florida installed 2.5GW of new solar capacity, leading the charge toward a greener future.

Solar energy is clearly more than a fleeting trend. It’s a global movement towards a sustainable and bright future. As nations harness the sun’s power, individuals and businesses can also partake in this solar revolution, reducing carbon footprints and contributing to a cleaner planet.
