    U.S. Solar Market Notches Another Quarter of 2 GW Growth, But Uncertainty Holds Back Installations; Trade case, tight global supply of modules drive up prices in all segments

    December 14, 2017 (Solar Energy Industries Association via PR Newswire)

Non-residential consists of commercial and industrial businesses that install solar, nonprofits, and community solar programs…The report says 4 GW of utility-scale PV projects are currently under construction across the nation and GTM Research forecasts an additional 3.9 GW will come on-line by the end of the year. This would make 2017 the second largest year ever for solar installations behind only the record-shattering 2016…” click here for more
