This is great news and seeing it has really helped my mental state. I do wonder though- isn’t this somewhat of a surge to complete projects while IRA tax credits are available? I think the predictions were that late 2027 would begin a slow period for the industry.
There is still room for optimism- the fundamental economics of solar and storage are only going to be better at that point, and we have a workforce capable of installing 86GW of capacity. But I think this *phenomenal* capacity addition needs to be seen in the context of the IRA cancellation.
