Market Overview:

The U.S Solar Photovoltaic Market size is estimated to reach $67.3 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 22.0% during the forecast period 2025-2031, according to a recent report published by IndustryARC, titled, “U.S Solar Photovoltaic Market – By Type (Thin film and Crystalline), By Material (Silicon based, Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaic and Others), By Grid Connectivity (On Grid and Off Grid), By Installation (Ground mounted, Rooftop and Floating Solar), By Application (Residential, Commercial, Utilities and Others) and By Geography - Global Opportunity Analysis & Industry Forecast, 2025-2031”

The U.S Solar Photovoltaic Market is experiencing robust growth driven by an increasing preference for plant-based beverages and a surge in global Solar Photovoltaic consumption. Additionally, the widespread popularity of Solar Photovoltaic culture and the rising number of cafes are also contributing to market growth.

Utilities Dominated the Market in 2024:

Utilities accounted for the largest share of 41% of the U.S Solar Photovoltaic Market in 2024 driven by large solar farms supplying electricity to the grid. According to the US Department of Energy (EIA), the United States connected 20.2 GW (AC) of utility-scale power plants to the grid during the first half of 2024. This capacity includes 12 GW of solar, which represents 59% of the total additions. Utility companies invest heavily in solar infrastructure to diversify their energy portfolios, reduce carbon emissions, and meet federal and state-level renewable energy targets. Large-scale solar farms often spanning thousands of acres benefit from economies of scale, lowering the cost per megawatt-hour compared to residential and commercial installations.

U.S Solar Photovoltaic Market: Key Takeaways

Net Zero and SDG 

The push for net-zero and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is accelerating photovoltaic adoption in the U.S. The Biden administration set ambitious clean energy targets, aiming for a carbon-free electricity sector by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2050. Solar energy plays a critical role in achieving these goals, with increasing investments in large-scale photovoltaic projects and residential solar installations. The private sector is also aligning with sustainability objectives, with corporations committing to 100% renewable energy under initiatives like RE100.

Make in America Initiative

The U.S. government's Make in America initiative is driving demand for domestically produced photovoltaic panels with tariffs on Chinese imports boosting local manufacturing. Policies such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act offer tax credits and incentives for companies investing in U.S.-based solar production. Tariffs on Chinese solar imports imposed to counteract unfair trade practices further encourage domestic manufacturing. In February 2025, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order imposing new 10% tariffs on Chinese solar materials. The move follows former President Joe Biden’s tariff hikes bringing total duties on Chinese solar polysilicon, wafers and cells to 60% under Section 301.
