The US information website EnergySage estimates that the average price of residential solar electricity over the period June 2022 to July 2023 will reach $2.90/W in the first half of 2023, an increase of 1.8%.

Solar energy prices in the United States have risen to reach 2.9 dollars per watt in the first half of 2023, representing an increase of

The United States installed 12 GW in the first half of 2023, of which

Five million panels were produced in the United States in 2022 (one million more than in 2021, or +25%). The country used 31.6 million panels

The US solar industry added 2.7 GW of capacity in the second quarter of the year, more than half of all clean energy installations, according to the American Clean Power Association (ACP). This organisation puts the total at 5.2 GW

The US Department of Commerce has published its findings on the circumvention of US trade law:

Five companies

In California, peak solar production and peak demand are increasing because of the need for air conditioning. This increase at different times has to be balanced by energy storage.

The "duck curve" is an illustration of how the electricity network works. It reflects the mismatch between peak solar production (from midday to the afternoon) and peak electricity demand (in the late afternoon and evening).

Retrofitting a roof-integrated photovoltaic system requires 7% less labour than a conventional system.

Installed storage capacity in the United States in the^1st quarter fell to 0.8 GW (-11%) and 2.1 GWh (-22%) compared with the same period last year.

India's Vikram Solar has set up a subsidiary with US financiers Phalanx Impact Partners and Das & Co, to develop vertically integrated solar manufacturing in the United States. This joint venture

In brief from the USA: Baywa r.e. places order with Meyer Burger, wafer production, Canadian Solar plant

German developer Baywa r.e. places order for 1.25 GW of panels

Some Americans wanted to determine the financial benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Projects benefiting from the Clean Energy Production Tax Credit could see their tax exemptions increase considerably.

In the first quarter of 2023, the US solar industry experienced the strongest growth of any quarter in its history. Projects delayed from 2022 have come online. Supply chain constraints have been eased.

A survey of US developers conducted by the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) shows that :

All renewable energy players will increase their renewable energy installations this year, 58% will do so moderately

On May 12, 2023, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued guidance on how project developers can obtain the tax credit from the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) for their renewable energy projects.

Firstly, the benefits of the DCR tax credit vary depending on the technology
