U.S. Installation Breakdown
Quarterly: SEIA (GWdc)
Wood Mackenzie/SEIA reports a record first half of PV installations, with 11.8
GWdc installed in H1 2023-an increase of 34% y/y.
-
Big growth occurred year over year in the residential and utility-scale
space, with Q2 residential installations hitting another record level of
deployment. SEIA reports that the growth comes despite uncertainties
that remain in receiving IRA benefits, higher interest rates, and challenges
with UFLPA compliance.
Nonresidential installations were mostly flat, with SEIA citing continued
impacts of interconnection delays, supply chain constraints, and
uncertainty over IRA implementation.

in GWdc-not GWac.
Installations typically fall after Q4 and this
Q1 was particularly large due to delays in
projects originally intended for a Q4
installation.
Florida, California, and Texas continue to
lead installations, accounting for 46% of H1
2023 installations.

However, 27 states installed more than
100 MW in the first half of the year.
