The Evolving Market Structure of the U.S. Residential Solar PV Installation Industry, 2000-2016
- National Renewable Energy Lab. (NREL), Golden, CO (United States)
This study uses data on over 900,000 solar PV installations to summarize the evolving market structure of the U.S. residential solar PV installation industry. Over 8,000 companies have installed residential PV systems in the United States. The vast majority of these installers are small local companies. At the same time, a subset of national-scale high-volume PV installation companies hold high market shares. This study examines the factors behind these trends in market concentration, including the role of customer financing options.
