US solar additions forecast to stay flat as permitting and policy risks bite

SolarNews Brief

The latest US solar outlook points to strong demand but a flatter growth path through 2031. Solar and storage are still dominating new US power capacity, yet permitting delays, trade rules and tax-credit uncertainty are limiting how quickly the pipeline can turn into installed projects.

Wood Mackenzie and SEIA data show the United States installed 7.8 GWdc of solar in the first quarter of 2026, while solar and storage together accounted for 91% of new capacity additions. The outlook remains constrained by permitting bottlenecks, trade policy, FEOC uncertainty, expiring tax credits and interconnection queues, with average annual solar additions expected to stay near 43 GWdc through 2031.
