U.S. Installation Breakdown Annual: EIA (GWac) ас According to EIA data, the United States installed 11.2 GW ac of PV in the first three quarters of 2022-down 9% from the first three quarters of 2021. 8 7 - Residential PV (3.9 GWac) was up 34% and C&I PV (1.1 GWac) was up 8% during this period. However, utility-scale PV (6.2 GWąc) was down 26%. Utility-scale C&I Residential U.S. PV Installations by Market Segment Half of U.S. PV capacity installed in Q1-Q3 2022 was in California, Texas, and Florida. Those three states also ranked first (California), second (Texas), and third (Florida) in total installed PV as of September 2022.
