U.S. solar power industry to witness record-breaking growth owing to large-scale installation of solar panels
U.S. solar power industry is anticipated to add about 14 gigawatts of new power capacity in 2016, which is more than double as compared to the total power capacity of the industry for 2015.
The solar power sector in U.S. deployed 2,052 megawatts of photovoltaic in the second quarter of 2016 bringing total power capacity of the country to about 32 gigawatts. This much of power generation made possible due to the installation of solar panels in the country has the ability to supply electricity to greater than 6.3 million U.S. homes. Generation of power through photovoltaic or solar panels will also help in reduction of greenhouse emissions by about 39 million metric tons in a year.
