Why is there a shortage of solar photovoltaic (PV) equipment?

Trade and supply-chain frictions have resulted in an acute shortage of solar photovoltaic (PV) equipment in the United States that risks abruptly slowing the rate of solar PV installation. Project delays and cancellations pose risks to power sector reliability, electricity prices, and energy-sector jobs.

Is there a shortage of Giv energy inverters?

Our installer has let us know that there is a shortage of gen 2 giv energy inverters and is suggesting we go for a gen 1 as these are currently available. We are having 16 panels installed 16 x 390w and a 5.2 kw battery. Does anyone have any experience of givenergy? Many thanks! Oh yes..where do I start.

Are PV project cancellations and delays a threat to energy security?

Absent an ability to access both sources of supply, PV project cancellations and delays will pose risks to the provision of reliable, affordable electricity supply while also imperiling achievement of the nation’s energy security and climate objectives.

How many jobs are at risk if a PV project is cancelled?

With a potential reduction in PV deployment of 12–15 GW over the next year, DOE estimates that more than 50,000 jobs are at risk, including more than 5,000 union jobs.27 Project cancellations and delays, and related job losses, also threaten the nation’s energy security and climate objectives.

How many jobs are at risk if PV deployment is reduced?

With a potential reduction in PV deployment of 12–15 GW over the next year, DOE estimates that more than 50,000 jobs are at risk in the near term, including more than 5,000 union jobs.
