  • According to the latest report from the nation's Energy Information Administration (EIA), solar PV generation boosted in the US throughout the initial 9 months of the year by 26.1% when contrasted to the same period last year.

According to information from its magazine "Electric Power Monthly," solar PV created 21.02% even more electrical power in September 2022 than it did in the very same period the previous year, regardless of a decline in electricity production from various other renewable sources.

According to the most recent report from the country's Energy Information Administration (EIA), solar PV generation enhanced in the US throughout the first nine months of the year by 26.1% contrasted to the exact same period last year.

According to information from its magazine "Electric Power Monthly," solar PV generated 21.02% even more electrical power in September 2022 than it did in the very same period the previous year, in spite of a decline in electrical power manufacturing from various other renewable sources. In September 2022, utility-scale solar PV capacity raised by over 655 MW.

According to research group SUN DAY Campaign, despite substantial growth from renewable power capacity throughout the first 3 quarters, EIA information points to a potential downturn for Q4.

According to Ken Bossong, Executive Director of the SUN DAY Campaign, the EIA predicts that renewable resource sources will make up 22% of US electric generation in 2022, an increase of 20% from the existing year. He proceeds, "While they are presently ahead of that level, a slowdown in wind and also hydropower generation throughout the last quarter of this year might cause renewables falling short of that mark while still exceeding their 2021 record output."

Even though solar capacity generation enhanced in September, the release of utility-scale solar dropped 23% from Q3 2021 to Q3 2022 as a result of delays in customs clearance brought on by the application of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.

This decreasing trend is prepared for to last via 2023 prior to the Inflation Reduction Act's benefits start to materialise by 2024.
