NEW YORK, February 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

According to GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association's (SEIA) the United States solar market shattered all previous quarterly solar photovoltaic (PV) installation records in 2016. About 4,143 megawatts (MW) of solar PV were installed in the U.S. in the third quarter of the year, a rate of one MW every 32 minutes.

"The solar market now enjoys an economically-winning hand that pays off both financially and environmentally, and American taxpayers have noticed. With a 90 percent favorability rating and 209,000 plus jobs, the U.S. solar industry has proven that when you combine smart policies with smart 21st century technology, consumers and businesses both benefit."
