2018 Monthly Solar Photovoltaic Module Shipments Report Summary

Core Content

This report provides data on the monthly shipments of photovoltaic (PV) modules in the United States for the first four months of 2018. It includes information on total shipments, shipment values, and the average value per peak watt. The data is sourced from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and is based on a subset of the largest manufacturers, which account for approximately 90% of the previous year's total shipments. The report also highlights the distribution of PV module shipments across U.S. states and territories, as well as the sources and destinations of these shipments.

Key Information

• The data for 2017 and 2018 is based on a subset of the largest manufacturers, representing approximately 90% of the previous year's total shipments.
• The report includes both U.S. shipments and exports, but detailed information on the country of origin for imports and the destination for exports is withheld to protect sensitive company data.
• Some states have withheld data (marked as "W") for certain months, possibly due to confidentiality or incomplete reporting.
• California remains the leading state in PV module shipments for the first four months of 2018, accounting for 30% of total shipments in January and 27% in April.
• The average value per peak watt has been declining since 2013, with a notable drop in 2015 and 2016, indicating a trend of decreasing costs or increasing production volume.
