Description
Description | The U.S. community solar sector surpassed 10 GW of cumulative installations by late 2025, despite a 25% contraction in annual installations in 2025. The industry installed 1.4 GW in 2025, with a slowdown in mature markets like New York and Maine. A rebound with 12% growth is expected in 2026, supported by a development pipeline of over 8 GW, with 29% under construction. Growth is driven by new state programs and community-scale projects up to 20 MW connecting directly to the distribution grid. The sector is navigating federal policy and interconnection challenges to secure Investment Tax Credits before policy changes. |
