Arizona’s solar market was one of the fastest-growing in the country during the first quarter, expanding by more than 5 percent, according to a new report.
Arizona added 168 megawatts during the first quarter of 2017, which is the third highest in the U.S. behind California and North Carolina, respectively, according to GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association’s latest U.S. Solar Market Insight report.
To put a finer point on that 5 percent growth, 5 percent of all solar ever installed in the state came in January, February and March, said Sean Gallagher, SEIA’s vice president of state affairs.
