The US industry is seeing a mix of growth and potential contraction, with Texas leading in new installations, but the industry also facing challenges due to potential policy changes and trade issues.
Globally, there's a strong push towards energy storage integration with solar and continued growth in the industry, despite some market maturity challenges in Europe.
Here's a more detailed look:
Installations and Market Dynamics:
Australia:
The Australian government is set to launch four new Capacity Investment Scheme tenders, aiming to add 32 GW of renewable energy capacity by the end of the decade.
France:
France installed 1.35 GW of solar in the second quarter of 2025, bringing its total to 24.85 GW.
United States:
The US solar industry is projected to contract slightly (2% annually) between 2025 and 2030, but will still add a substantial 43 GW per year on average. Texas continues to dominate in solar installations, with Florida surging into second place. However, the industry faces potential challenges from policy shifts and trade issues.
Global Growth:
The solar industry continues to expand, with a projected 76% increase in global energy storage installations.
Policy and Market Trends:
Luxembourg:
Launched two solar tenders with subsidies, including higher rates for solar coupled with battery storage.
Evolving Remuneration:
There's a shift towards market-based models, factoring in environmental and social metrics, as well as digitalization and decentralization, with smart meters and dynamic tariffs becoming more common.
Policy Stability:
A need for stable, multi-year incentives is highlighted to encourage investment and private sector engagement.
