“The successful development and sale of this solar project further showcases our commitment to the state of Hawaii as this is the seventh project completed on the island of Oahu and twelfth ground-mounted utility solar project completed by SPI in Hawaii,” said Xiaofeng Denton Peng, Chairman and CEO of SPI Energy. “We are delighted to contribute to the State of Hawaii’s goal of reaching 100 percent renewable energy by 2045 and continue to look for opportunities to expand our development projects in other regions of the US and globally.”
The U.S. installed 3.8 GW of solar PV capacity in Q3 2020 to reach 88.9 GW of total installed capacity, enough to power 16.4 million American homes. Wood Mackenzie forecasts 43% annual growth in 2020, with more than 19 GW of installations expected. In total, the U.S. solar market will install more than 107 GW of solar over the next five years.
