New domestic community solar installations are expected to reach 7.3 GW in existing state markets by 2029, according to the latest report released by Wood Mackenzie and the Coalition for Community Solar Access (CCSA).
Program pipelines remain strong in mature state markets, for now. Wood Mackenzie forecasts the national community solar market to grow at an average annual 5% rate through 2026 and then contract by 11% on average through 2029. Expanded program capacity and establishment of new state markets have the potential to add further uplift beyond 2026.
Under a bull case forecast scenario, Wood Mackenzie’s five-year outlook increases by 21% in existing markets compared to the base case, while there is a 20% decrease under a bear case. Alternative scenarios do not account for the establishment of new state markets.
According to the report, 3.6 GW of community solar is expected to serve low-to-moderate income subscribers by 2029. As of this year’s first quarter, Wood Mackenzie estimates that 829 MW of community solar directly serves LMI subscribers.
“The US community solar market has tripled in size since 2020, but growth is beginning to slow in existing state markets,” says Caitlin Connolly, senior research analyst at Wood Mackenzie, and lead author of the report.
“Additionally, the May 2024 decision on California community solar resulted in a significant 14% reduction to Wood Mackenzie’s five-year national outlook. Without a major market entrant like California, long-term community solar growth will largely depend on the enactment of legislation to enable new state markets.”

Is a Team of Is a Bunch of MAGA Thugs Beating the Snot Out of a Woman a New Low, or Is it What We Now Need to Expect?
Just when we think there is a bottom, the United States sinks just a bit lower. It’s our brand nowadays.
That’s quite a left cross this thug delivered to this helpless female protestor.
It wasn’t too long ago that beating up women was taboo in America. My 11-year-old, sixth-grade son saw a male classmate of his badly bruise a girl by pushing her hard down to the ground–and proceeded to punch him in the mouth. A fellow father witnessed the scene and told me, “Your son’s fist was in that kid’s teeth within a fraction of a second.”
I had brought him up to avoid violence and achieve peaceful resolutions to conflicts, but I couldn’t fault him here.
What a disgusting bunch of turds we’ve become.
We’re starting to see intimations that stupidity like this is generated and posted by Russian data centers so as to appeal to MAGA idiots and favor the Republicans in the upcoming midterms.
Every day, we come across articles that summarize Trump’s “accomplishments.”
I thought I’d publish this masterpiece.
