NREL | 3 About 560 GWdc of global PV installations are projected for 2024, up about a third from 2023. The five leading solar markets in 2023 kept pace or increased PV installation capacity in the first half of 2024, with China installing more than 100 GWdc and India installing more solar in the first half of 2024 than it did for all of 2023.
EIA reported that the United States installed 15.6 GWac of solar capacity in Q1/Q2 2024 (SEIA reported 21.4 GWdc)—a 55% increase from the record achieved in Q1/Q2 2023. The residential PV market shrank significantly in the first half of 2024, hurt by California’s NEM transition and high interest rates across the country.
At the end of 2023, more than 360,000 U.S. employees spent some of their time on solar, mostly in the construction sector—a growth of 5.3% y/y. In the first half of 2024, the United States installed 15.6 GWac of solar capacity—a 55% increase from the record achieved in the first half of 2023.
Construction will commence in 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2025, costing $280 million. FirmoGraphs is tracking more than 100 very large solar projects starting construction in 2023 with a total estimated value of nearly $40 billion.
With this new addition of 350 GWp, the world is now hosting 1.5 TWp of solar. If the trend continues in 2024, there is a very high probability to surpass 2 TWp by the end of 2024. This doubling of installed capacity would come just 2 years after the world hit the symbolic threshold of 1 TWp.
After the high levels of additions in the last two years, annual solar installations would only have to show relatively modest levels of growth to meet this. BNEF forecasts average growth of 6% per year from 2024 to 2030. They reported 76% growth in 2023 and are expecting 33% in 2024.
