One of the key trends in the solar PV industry in 2023 is the continued decline in the cost of components required for solar panel installations, such as solar cells and inverters. This is due to the increased manufacturing efficiency, advances in technology and economies of scale.
As these trends and innovations converge, they promise a future where solar energy is more accessible, efficient, and integral to our daily lives. This exciting phase in the evolution of solar power marks a significant step towards a sustainable and renewable energy-driven world.
Welcome to an exploration of the key trends shaping the solar energy landscape in 2024. As the world increasingly embraces renewable energy solutions, we’re seeing rapid growth in solar, driven by technological advancements, economic benefits, and a growing environmental consciousness.
The future of solar energy in 2024 is not just about incremental improvements but about a paradigm shift in how we view and utilize solar power. The trends indicate a move towards more efficient, integrated, and smart solar solutions, while the innovations showcase a leap in technology that could redefine our relationship with renewable energy.
Growth in the US is mainly driven by significant additions of utility-scale solar capacity, which made up over 80% of additions in the first six months of 2024. Solar installations totalled 20 GW from January to June 2024, a 55% increase over the same period last year. This follows a 46% increase in installations in 2023 compared to 2022.
This would once again surpass most industry forecasts, and comes after 2023 showed record growth in solar installations of 86% compared to 2022. Countries need to plan ahead to make the most of the high levels of solar capacity being built today and ensure the continued build-out of capacity in the coming years.
