Such key strategic initiatives adopted by companies operating in the market favor healthy competition among the companies to attain significant market positions, which fuels the US solar roofing market growth.

Vast Untapped Solar Roofing Potential to Create Opportunities for US Solar Roofing Market

The US has tapped only ~1/28th of the total solar roofing potential. Rooftop solar installations are likely to have the technical potential to generate electricity equivalent to ~45% of total national electricity sales, based on the demand generated in 2022. Rooftop solar systems accounted for only ~1.5% of total electricity consumption in 2022. There is vast potential for solar roofs in the top 10 states and untapped clean energy potential in many states, including the nation's leading solar states, which is expected to create significant opportunities for the key players operating in the US solar roofing market. As per the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, California has the technical potential to generate electricity from rooftop solar, accounting for 74% of its electricity sales. Maine and Vermont could generate electricity equivalent to 60% of electricity sales, and 20 other states could generate electricity equivalent to a third or more of electricity sales. Solar panels produce more electricity sometimes than others; therefore, they have a limited ability to meet a region's total electricity needs. Small-scale solar power—particularly when integrated with energy storage technologies—can meet a large portion of the US energy needs.

Commercial and industrial sites across the US are prime candidates for distributed solar. Solar panels in supermarkets, warehouses, farms, and other locations could help businesses save money and provide a large amount of clean energy. Solar roofing systems can reduce commercial and industrial buildings' dependence on the grid by up to 80% and save businesses up to 95% on their electricity bills. The roofs of warehouses in the US have the potential to generate 185.6 TWh of solar power every year, which is enough to power nearly 19.4 million average homes. Thus, using solar roofing panels, warehouses could generate electricity equivalent to the electricity used by ~16% of all US households.
