Utility was the largest application segment,accounting for over 50% of U.S. solar PV market installations in2014. In addition, non-residential segment is also expected towitness the strong growth at an estimated CAGR of over 15% from2015 to 2022. High growth can be attributed to federalsubsidies and state incentives. Furthermore, growing awarenessamong consumers regarding environmental protection is expected toboost solar PV market over the next few years.


Further key findings from the studysuggest:


Residential application of solar PV is expected to witness highgrowth till 2016 due to ITC (Investment Tax Credit). However, postexpiry of ITC, market is expected to witness significant slumpresulting in higher installations till 2016.
California has the largest installed capacity for solar PV in2014 owing to the states exposure to high solar irradiance. Inaddition, tax subsidies in the state are expected to result in highdemand for solar PV installations over the next few years.
North Carolina is expected to witness the fastest growth owingto increased residential installations in light of the relativelyhigh power prices in the state as compared to other states such asWashington, Louisiana and Kentucky.
Reduced solar PV module prices in light of increasinginstallations and technological advancement is expected to boostmarket demand in the U.S. Furthermore, raw material prices havewitness a sharp decline which is expected to promote production ofsolar PV modules in turn driving the solar PV market.
Key solar PV module manufacturers include First Solar,SunPower, Auxin Solar, Alps Technology and Solar Cynergy. Themarket has witnessed significant R&D activities with companiestrying to gain competitive advantage using technologicaldevelopments. First Solar used cadmium telluride thin filmtechnology for PV module manufacturing since it provides highestefficiency and increased output.
