Module import data jumps 17% Oct / Nov
17% jump in solar imports over the last 60 days (despite UFLPA noise), consistent with firm U.S. installations for both utility scale solar and residential solar
Monthly permit update – Q4 continues to be strong (RUN, SPWR, NOVA, ENPH, SEDG)
After surprisingly strong Q3 permits and upbeat earnings, residential solar permits continue to be robust into Q4.
Predictions for next year (panel deliveries jump +60%); Tracker growth modest at +10-15%; Market share GmChge (+) ARRY (=) Nextrker (-)
Stellar growth in new solar construction and tracker demand over the last seven months (DESPITE AD/CVD AND UFLPA NOISE) is setting up for an unprecedented surge in panel deliveries and online installations in 2023E.
SOLARSAT™: Panel deliveries accelerating (18 GW p.a. in Oct); Big queue waiting final commish (mostly TX); FirstDIRT™ firm through Oct
In this note, we summarize the utility solar trends identified while going through the latest October solarSAT™ data. Most noticeable has been the…
Takeaways From RE+ Anaheim Conference
As an alternative to anecdotes, imperfect surveys, and guesswork, we have created a tool called Lium solarSAT™ to better inform the market with real-time solar satellite monitoring. With this product, investors and corporate management can monitor the status of all U.S. large scale solar projects, including the day each project broke ground (firstDIRT™), timing of panel deliveries, and final completions. In this report, see findings as we update our data for August satellite imagery.

U.S. Offshore Wind [data]: New Downloads & Thematic Disappointments
In this post, we update our key U.S. Offshore Wind data trends for 2022 coming away disappointed with progress but finding a few silver linings.
2022 Market share shifts (supplier CATL up again); BESS forecasts UNCHANGED following IRA ; FLNC estimates too high
While costs, solar panel constraints, and stalled policy has been a headwind, deployments of battery storage facilities (BESS) have been surprisingly strong. In fact, a record 1.6 GW of BESS has been connected to the grid in just the last 3-months. This is contrary to the…
