U.s. Utility solar Market takes off

Utility solar market segment in the United States is now and grow at a faster pace of commercial and residential segments par with — 10 times.  Segment increased by almost 400% in 2010, 251 megawatts (MW) in total.  Solar utility is emerging of a distinct market different from other segments of technology, geographical concentration of the interested parties in the types of regulatory drivers and challenges of the project — decidedly — developers.

The latest report AltaTerra Research "Utility Solar: US Market Takes Off," my colleagues, and to present an overview of the development of the Sun in the United States with useful information related to the installation, the majority of the projects, project profiles, case studies, Our results are as follows.

According to the general interest of the customer equipment in the vicinity of the 2010 seen annual growth rate of nearly 400% from 65 251 MW 2010 2009. The add-in in the field of MW is now the same size as the commercial but to grow much faster than the commercial or residential sector of all utility installations are 68% of the projects 10 MW or greater. Project locations not Center States such as California, which is calculated on the basis of the data base in the past, most of this country the most installed PV projects in the State. [3] [4] greater than 10 MW is Florida the installers for multiple projects, which are larger than 10 MW are (in alphabetical order), First Solar, solar juwi and SunPower.

As shown in the picture below, the add-in, a significant segment of the customer PV occurred approximately 2008 and thus a significant increase in 2009, before its current length and to achieve the level of growth.
