By Rebecca Grant The outlook for solar power in America
is bright and sunny. The U.S. solar industry recorded its second
largest quarter ever in the third quarter of 2013, and the largest
quarter ever for residential installations. For the first time in more than 15 years, America is on track to
install more solar capacity this year than world leader Germany. This news emerged out of a quarterly report from GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) on the state of the solar power market in the U.S.. “Without a doubt, 2013 will go down as a record-shattering year for
the U.S. solar industry,” said Rhone Resch, SEIA president and CEO.
“We’ve now joined Germany, China, and Japan as worldwide leaders when it
comes to the installation of new solar capacity. This unprecedented
growth is helping to create thousands of American jobs, save money for
U.S. consumers, and reduce pollution nationwide.”
