About the Solar Market Insight Report

Share

U.S. Solar Market Insight® is a quarterly publication of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA)® and Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables. Each quarter, we collect granular data on the U.S. solar market from nearly 200 installers, manufacturers, utilities, and state agencies. This data provides the backbone of the report, in which we identify and analyze trends in U.S. solar demand, manufacturing, and pricing by state and market segment. We also use this analysis to look forward and forecast demand over the next five years. As the U.S. solar market continues to grow, Solar Market Insight provides an invaluable decision making tool for installers, suppliers, investors, policymakers and advocates alike.
