2018 Monthly Solar Photovoltaic Module Shipments Report Summary

1. Report Overview

This report, published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), provides data on solar photovoltaic (PV) module shipments for the United States in 2018. It includes monthly shipment figures, their values, and average values per peak watt. The data are based on a subset of the largest manufacturers, representing approximately 90% of the previous year's total shipments. Some data are withheld to protect sensitive information.

2. Key Tables and Data

Table 3: Annual PV Module Shipments (2006–2018)

• 2018 June data are partially available, with only shipment totals and values provided for January to June.
• 2017 and 2018 monthly data are based on a subset of manufacturers.
• Shipment totals and values are presented in peak kilowatts (kW) and thousand dollars (USD), respectively.
• Average value per peak watt (USD) is also included, showing the cost trends over time.

Table 6: Source and Disposition of PV Module Shipments

• Source: Includes shipments imported during the reporting month.
• Disposition: Breaks down shipments into categories such as U.S. shipments and sales to U.S. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for resale, export shipments, and total shipments.
• Some data are marked as "W" (Withheld) due to confidentiality concerns.
• For example:
  • January 2018: 544,633 kW imported, 571,372 kW shipped domestically, and 8,382 kW exported.
  • February 2018: 407,308 kW imported, 461,531 kW total shipments.
  • March 2018: 301,878 kW imported, 523,470 kW total shipments.
  • April 2018: 269,771 kW imported, 265,907 kW total shipments.
  • May 2018: 325,673 kW imported, 404,838 kW total shipments.
  • June 2018: 465,504 kW imported, 486,643 kW total shipments.

Table 9: U.S. PV Module Shipments by State (2018)

• Data are presented for each month from January to June.

  • Texas: 27,436 kW in January (5% of U.S. total).
  • Washington: 666 kW in January (0% of U.S. total).

3. Key Observations

• The total PV module shipments for the first half of 2018 (January–June) are reported in Table 9.
• California remains the largest contributor to U.S. PV module shipments, with significant percentages in most months.
• Arizona, New Jersey, and North Carolina show notable contributions in certain months.
• Texas and Washington have relatively smaller shares.
• Average value per peak watt in 2018 shows a range from $0.40 to $0.53, indicating fluctuations in pricing.
• Imported shipments vary monthly, with January 2018 showing the highest at 544,633 kW.
• Export shipments are generally smaller, with January 2018 at 8,382 kW.

4. Data Limitations

• Monthly data for 2017 and 2018 are based on a subset of manufacturers.
• State-level data are partially withheld for privacy and confidentiality reasons.
• Country of origin and destination for imports and exports are not published.

5. Conclusion

The report highlights the growing scale of U.S. PV module shipments, with California leading in production and distribution. It also shows a trend of decreasing average module prices over the years, with some fluctuations in 2018. However, due to data confidentiality, not all details are publicly available, particularly at the state and country levels.
