A few days ago, according to the “U.S. Sustainable Energy Record” data, the newly installed photovoltaic capacity in the United States reached 16.5GW in 2020, an increase of 24% compared with the 13.3GW in 2019, and continued to maintain strong growth.

The newly installed capacity of 16.5GW set a new record for the installed capacity of the United States. The previous record was 13.6GW in 2016. It broke the record again after many years, which surprised the world.

At the end of 2019, the U.S. government officially notified the United Nations to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. It not only shocked the world, but also caused a blow to the clean energy industry in the United States. Without policy support, the prospects of wind power, hydropower, and photovoltaics have cast a shadow.

What’s more serious is that the sudden COVID-19 has also severely affected the US economy. According to foreign official reports and domestic authoritative media reports, as of February 22, the cumulative number of people diagnosed with new coronavirus pneumonia in the United States has reached 28,765,423, and the GDP for the whole year of 2020 has fallen by 3.5% year-on-year.

With the loss of strong policy support and the economic downturn, clean energy as a long-term plan will definitely be hit first. According to a report by the American Solar Energy Industry Association and Wood McKinsey, in the second quarter of 2020, the US photovoltaic market added 3.5 GW of photovoltaic installations, a 6% drop from the previous month.

However, this situation quickly improved. According to data released by American Solar, the newly installed photovoltaic capacity in the United States reached 3.8GW in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 9% from the second quarter. Under such favorable conditions, the American Solar Energy Industry Association and Wood McKinsey report even predict that the annual new installed capacity is expected to reach 19GW.

Of course, the final new installed capacity did not meet the above forecast, but it still set a new record.

After the new President Biden took office, he not only returned to the Paris Agreement in recent days, but also expressed on many occasions that he would actively support the development of clean energy and would invest huge sums of money in technology research and development, which is believed to bring photovoltaic development to a peak.

Recently, what has made Americans feel even more deeply is that the sudden cold weather in Texas in the United States has caused the local power to be cut off many times or even completely.

According to foreign media reports, homes installed with Tesla solar roofs and Powerwall battery systems have not been severely affected. This situation has made many residents aware of the importance of photovoltaics and is likely to stimulate the installation of household photovoltaics. Let photovoltaic usher in rapid growth.

It is worth mentioning that although the United States is the world’s second-largest photovoltaic market, the newly installed capacity of 16.5GW in 2020 has also set a new record, but there is still a big gap with China. In 2020, our country’s new photovoltaic installed capacity will reach 48.2GW, which is an increase of 18.1GW compared to 2019. The increase alone exceeds the annual new installed capacity of the United States.
