Summer 2025 Solar Industry Update

Summary

The global and U.S. solar industries face dynamic market conditions, including significant shifts in federal incentive programs, new restrictions on product sourcing, and persistent low manufacturing margins. The U.S. government is implementing policies such as the OBBB act, which modifies federal tax credits and imposes limitations on the use of foreign components to foster domestic manufacturing and align with strategic goals. These changes have resulted in relatively flat U.S. PV deployment in H1 2025 compared to significant growth elsewhere, continued low global module pricing impacting manufacturer profitability, and the activation of tariffs on imported solar cells.
