As solar developers braced for potentially retroactive tariffs on solar module imports, the U.S. solar market notched its worst quarter for installations since 2020.
The commercial solar market saw 28% quarter-over-quarter declines, while the community solar market was off by 59% quarter-over-quarter.
In contrast, the residential solar market saw record-setting growth as customer demand and sales pipelines grew. The performance data were reported by Wood Mackenzie and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) in a quarterly report.
