The data provided in the report shows that in the third quarter, more than 27,000 households and business users installed solar energy equipment in the United States, and the installed capacity of non-residential photovoltaic power generation increased by 38% year-on-year to 103 megawatts. Judging from the state's newly installed capacity, California leads the list, followed by New Jersey, Florida, Arizona, and Colorado. It is estimated that by the end of this year, the total installed capacity of new solar power generation in the United States will exceed 1 gigawatt.
The report shows that in terms of prices, the average installation price of solar equipment in the United States for the first time in the third quarter was lower than US$6 per watt. According to the data released by the Berkeley Lawrence National Laboratory before, with the development of the solar energy industry and the popularity of solar energy equipment, the average installation price of photovoltaic power generation in the US has dropped from 10.8 US dollars per watt in 1998 to 7.5 per watt in 2009. Dollars.
The report believes that the rapid development of the US solar energy industry is mainly due to the strong support of the governments at all levels for the solar energy industry, as well as the decline in labor and operating costs.
According to data released by the solar market research organization SolarBuzz, in the first nine months of this year, the global photovoltaic industry market demand increased by 196% to 10.6 gigawatts. In the third quarter of this year, the global photovoltaic industry made a profit of US$17.9 billion, an increase of 74% over the same period of the previous year.
