The U.S. residential solar PV market is projected to hit an impressive USD 17.68 billion by 2030, expanding at a robust CAGR of 14.4% from 2024 to 2030. This significant growth is primarily fueled by the surging demand for clean, renewable energy and increasingly strict regulations aimed at curbing carbon emissions.

Driving Forces Behind Market Expansion

Governments worldwide are increasingly embracing solar energy for power generation, recognizing its clean and renewable attributes. Many nations have set ambitious targets to reduce their reliance on conventional energy sources and cut down carbon emissions by promoting solar power. This growing demand has led to economies of scale, subsequently lowering the cost of solar components and making residential solar PV system installations more financially viable.

Regional Impact and Declining Costs

Emerging U.S. states like California, Texas, and Arizona are expected to significantly boost the residential solar PV industry due to their escalating energy needs. The consistent decline in the price of solar energy system components over the past decade has made solar installations increasingly attractive for homeowners, a trend anticipated to continue throughout the forecast period.
