This week, SEIA and Wood Mackenzie released the Solar Market Insight Report for Q1 of 2025.

The report finds that solar added 10.8 GW of new electricity generating capacity and 8.6 GW of new solar module manufacturing capacity in Q1. Solar and storage accounted for 82% of all new generating capacity added to the grid and communities added 8 new or expanded factories in Texas, Ohio, Arizona, and South Carolina while American solar cell production capacity doubled.

According to SEIA president and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper, “Solar and storage continue to dominate America’s energy economy, adding more new capacity to the grid than any technology using increasingly American-made equipment... But our success is at risk. If Congress fails to fix the legislation passed by the House – which would render the energy tax incentives unusable – lawmakers will trigger a dangerous energy shortage that will raise our electric bills and stop America’s manufacturing boom in its tracks."
