美国社区太阳能市场正在接近一个临界点。在其最新的报告中，美国社区太阳能展望2015-2020，GTM Research预测市场五倍今年安装了115兆瓦增长。到2020年，在美国社会的太阳能将是一个年度半吉瓦的机会。
通过在2014年底安装66兆瓦累计，美国社会的太阳能市场刚刚下车地面。然而，GTM研究已经盯住它作为最显著太阳能市场的增长为美国。 2014年间和2020年，GTM Research预计美国太阳能社区有59％的复合年增长率。
根据该报告，有24个国家与网上至少有一个社区太阳能项目，以及20个州已经或正在制定社区太阳能立法的过程中。然而，只有四个州将安装广大社区太阳能在未来两年：加利福尼亚州，科罗拉多州，马萨诸塞州和明尼苏达州。
在近期内，与社区太阳能这些立法国家的市场将成为需求的核心驱动因素，在未来两年内助长刚刚超过80％的安装。
展望2020年，说高级分析师太阳能科里霍尼曼，社区太阳能机会，有望成为更为多样化，作为开发商坡道服务产品在各国公用事业无界太阳能立法在地方和国家屋顶光伏企业进入社区现场太阳。
报告指出29开发人员正在积极致力于社区太阳能项目。今天两家公司，清洁能源和集体SunShare，合计占营业社区太阳能发电量的32％。
然而，GTM Research预计一波行情进入和扩张，在未来五年，随着屋顶太阳能公司，包括NRG，SunEdison公司和SolarCity公司建立自己的社区太阳能的努力。
未来五年将会看到美国社会的太阳能市场增加一个令人印象深刻的1.8万千瓦，比通过2014年底刚刚66兆瓦。

The United States community solar market is approaching a tipping point. In its latest report, U.S. Community Solar Outlook 2015-2020, GTM Research forecasts the market to grow fivefold this year with 115 megawatts installed. By 2020, community solar in the United States will be an annual half-gigawatt opportunity.
With 66 cumulative megawatts installed through the end of 2014, the U.S. community solar market is just getting off of the ground. However, GTM Research has pegged it as the most significant solar growth market for the United States. Between 2014 and 2020, GTM Research expects U.S. community solar to have a compound annual growth rate of 59%.
According to the report, there are 24 states with at least one community solar project on-line, and 20 states have or are in the process of enacting community solar legislation. However, only four states will install the majority of community solar over the next two years: California, Colorado, Massachusetts and Minnesota.
In the near term, these state markets with community solar legislation will serve as the core drivers of demand, fueling just over 80% of installations over the next two years.
ÃÂÃÂLooking ahead to 2020, said Senior Solar Analyst Cory Honeyman, the community solar opportunity is poised to become more geographically diversified, as developers ramp up service offerings to utilities in states without community solar legislation in place and national rooftop solar companies enter the community solar scene.
The report identifies 29 developers that are actively working on community solar projects. Today two companies, Clean Energy Collective and SunShare, together account for 32% of operating community solar capacity.
However, GTM Research expects a wave of market entry and expansion over the next five years, as rooftop solar companies including NRG, SunEdison, and SolarCity build out their community solar efforts.
The next five years will see the U.S. community solar market add an impressive 1.8 gigawatts, compared to just 66 megawatts through the end of 2014.
