The quarterly SEIA/Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables U.S. Solar Market Insight report shows the major trends in the U.S. solar industry. Learn more about the U.S. Solar Market Insight Report. Released September 14, 2021.

The International Trade Commission is seeking responses to a questionnaire that will inform their decision on continuing the Section 201 tariffs on imported solar cells and panels stemming from Suniva’s 2017 petition. This is an extremely important opportunity to provide accurate information to the ITC and ensure that their analysis is reflective of current solar market dynamics.

SolarAPP+ is a collaborative effort from the Department of Energy, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, SEIA, solar installers and local governments to accelerate rooftop solar adoption. This innovative platform makes it easier for Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) to quickly and safely approve standardized rooftop PV projects for installation.

Local governments have tremendous influence on the pace of solar energy growth in their municipalities, but unnecessary paperwork, red tape, and other burdensome requirements increase installation costs and discourage solar market growth.
