The solar century: Landmark moments in the history of solar energy

The history of solar energy is an American success story.

Since the creation of the first silicon solar cell 70 years ago, solar leaders have been innovating, improving efficiency, lowering costs, and growing this American-born technology into an essential part of our nation’s energy system.

In 2023, solar accounted for over 50% of new electricity generating capacity added to the grid and employs over 260,000 Americans. With over 179 GW of installed capacity and growing, the solar and storage industry has become an American energy powerhouse.

The US SEIA has sent a letter to the US Congress calling on the body to accelerate legislative reform for solar projects in the US.

SEIA and US solar leaders call on Congress to ‘support legislation’ to ease solar permitting and transmission

The US Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has sent a letter, containing close to 200 signatures from solar and storage companies in the US, to the US Congress, calling on the body to accelerate legislative reform for solar projects in the US.

The letter, dated 11 April and sent yesterday, calls on the government to streamline four aspects of solar legislation: permitting, siting, transmission and access to public lands. The signatories argue that the current solar and storage permitting processes are “overly complex and time-consuming”, and in need of standardisation, and that legislators should designate priority sites for use by solar and storage developers, to eliminate “land use conflicts and restrictions.”

The US solar industry has registered its best third quarter ever with 6.5GW of PV installed in Q3 2023 but residential started slowing down.

US adds 6.5GW of solar PV in record third quarter, residential to decline in 2024

,

The US solar industry has registered its best third quarter ever with 6.5GW of PV installed in Q3 2023, but residential started to show a slowdown in certain states.

According to research from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie, some of the biggest residential markets – such as Texas, Arizona and Florida – have experienced quarterly and annual declines in installed capacity in Q3 2023, despite a record number of installs with 210,000 systems.

Despite slowdowns in these major states, residential solar installed 1.8GW in Q3 2023, a 12% increase year-over-year and setting another quarterly record. During the first three quarters of the year, the segment is up 24% from the same period last year. In total, 34 states and Puerto Rico have had an annual growth during that period.

New data from the SEIA on private investment suggests the law's subsidies for manufacturing and generation are significantly boosting industry activity levels.

The new climate law is upending the solar landscape

,

The year since passage of the big climate law has brought over $100 billion in U.S. solar and storage company investments.

Why it matters: New data from the Solar Energy Industries Association — a major industry trade group — on private investment suggests the law’s subsidies for manufacturing and generation are significantly boosting industry activity levels.

  • The chart above shows how SEIA and the consultancy Wood Mackenzie see the law boosting power projects.
