US Residential Solar Capacity Doubled Since 2020

Apr 21, 2025 | News


From 2020 to 2025, the U.S. residential market has seen a significant increase in the adoption of solar energy, driven by a combination of falling installation costs, supportive federal and state policies, and heightened consumer awareness of environmental issues. Advances in solar panel technology and energy storage solutions have made home solar systems more efficient and accessible, while incentives like the federal solar tax credit and net metering programs have further encouraged homeowners to make the switch.

The COVID-19 pandemic initially slowed installations in 2020, but demand quickly rebounded as more people invested in home improvements and sought energy independence. By 2025, residential solar capacity has more than doubled compared to 2020 levels, solidifying solar power as a mainstream energy solution for American households.
