US Q3 solar installations amount to 3.8 GW.

• Utility-scale market was the 'primary driver' audit for 2.7 GW, says Wood Mackenzie.

United States solar companies set up simply under 4GW of new solar (PV) ability in the third quarter of 2020, a 9% increase on the previous quarter, according to most recent evaluation from Wood Mackenzie.
