What percentage of PV projects are delayed in 2022?In the EU, utility-scale PV made up 34% of new additions (down 6% from 2022), commercial and industrial PV made up 33% of new additions (up 4% from 2022), and residential PV made up 33% of new additions (up 2% from 2022). A large extent of growth in the EU residential sector stems from delayed 2022 projects.
How much does a PV system cost?The median price for residential PV systems reported by EnergySage increased 6.3% y/y to $2.8/Wdc—in-line with mid-2020 price levels. Global polysilicon spot prices fell 22% from mid-January ($8.70/kg) to late April ($6.76/kg), approaching the lowest nominal price seen over the past deca
