According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), shipments of solar panels reached a record-high 16.4 million kilowatts (kW) in 2019. The former record of 13.5 million kW was set in 2016. Imports, exports, and modules produced and sold domestically all qualify as solar panel shipments; modules shipped for resale are excluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese shipments have steadily increased since 2006, driven by significant price declines and policy incentives that encourage solar PV installations,\u201d the report stated. In 2017 and 2018, policy reforms and import tariffs caused shipments to decline slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar panels convert light particles \u2013 called photons \u2013 from the sun, transforming them into electricity that can be used to power electrical grids. They are used in a wide variety of settings, including both business and residential use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2006, the cost of solar panels has been steadily declining, thus helping propel the growth of shipments. The average price of a solar panel module shipment in 2016 was $3.50 per watt. In 2019, the price decreased to .40\u00a2 per peak watt. The upsurge in residential solar panel demand is somewhat due to homeowner incentives such as the California Solar Initiative, the New York Megawatt Block program, and other state-level policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHigher module efficiency, greater labor productivity, and lower supply chain costs are largely responsible for the declines in the average value of solar PV modules,\u201d the report stated. The price of solar panel modules and components has declined due to both global surplus (reduced demand in China) and competitive costs within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A report<\/a> published in February by Financialnewsmedia.com claims that demand for solar industry installations will double by 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
