REC led the American residential solar panel market in the first half of 2025, while Tesla lost the share in home batteries and inverters in the midst of delivery and policy pressure, according to EnergySage.
In the midst of a background of a Wrestling residential solar marketCompetition remains fierce because providers of equipment want to lead in market share. An EnergySage report, operator of the largest online marketplace for solar energy, listed shifting dynamics among market leaders quoted on his platform.
The report, with data until the first half of 2025, said that in the short term the disruptions of the delivery of large suppliers with regard to a Trade policy environment provided In the US you can lead to possibilities for a more open market.
For suppliers of solar panels, REC remained the best -cited brand on the platform during the first half of 2025, with a share of 43% of all quoted projects. Qcells kept a second place at 12% during the period. Hyperion Solar jumped to third place with a share of 9%, which gave EnergySage to product availability compared to the background of sharpened offer.
Other leading solar panel providers who were quoted on the platform were Panasonic, Jinko Solar, Silfab Solar, Trina Solar, SEG Solar, Mission Solar and Longi Solar. Despite the disruptions of the offer, the top three brands raised their combined market share of 62% in the second half of 2024 to 65% in the second half of 2025.
The Invertermarkt was much more consolidated on the EnergySage platform. The top three providers represented 93% market share.
For cited residential inverters, Enphase led to suppliers, while Tesla slipped from a market share from 35% to 32% and took second place. SolarEdge was the third place supplier, with Apsystems, Schneider Home, Hymiles and EG4 following.
Energy storage
Tesla also slid in the market share for the share home Battery Energy Storage Marketplace Marketplace, fell from around 63% in the second half of 2024 to 59% in the first half of 2025. Energyage said that the DIP was potentially powered by supply deficits and Merkbacklash related.
The share of second place was held by Enphase, who fell from 29% to 25%, which EnergySage was attributed to a combination of rates and premium prices. FranklinWH became third in the share -cited storage products, followed by SolarEdge, Schneider Home, EG4, Panasonic and Apsystems.
Batteries are included with an increased rate in listed solar projects. Outside of Hawaii, with a 100% battery attachment percentage, California was at the forefront of the top ten solar market markets, with 79% of the projects cited, including batteries. This was followed by Texas (61%), Arizona (47%), Utah (44%), Florida (43%) and Illinois (25%).
After steady costs fall from a peak in the first half of 2023, the battery prices rose slightly. Average noted battery prices were $ 1,352 per kWh in the first half of 2023, decreased as low as $ 999 per kWh in the second half of 2024, and rose light to $ 1,032 per kWh in the first half of 2025. Enphase represented the highest cost-per-kWh with a 69% price of a 69% of a most important thing of a 39% fans of a 39% administration of a 39% administration of a 39% administration of a 39% administration of a 39% fans Price of a 69% price of a 69% price of a 69% price of a 69% price of a 69% price of a 69% price of a 69% price of a 69% price of a 69% price of a 69% price of a 69% price of a 69% price.
“These increased prices are probably due to mutual rates levied in April for Chinese import, which dominate the battery retention chain, according to the Energy Information Administration,” the report said. “In [the first half of] 2025, steep provisional antidumping and counter vailing tasks on Chinese anodia material can further increase the costs and sharpen the offer. “
EnergySage said that surveyed solar customers reported that the inclusion of batteries in their project was motivated by savings on utility rates (30%), self-supply (29%) and backup power (26%).
“With federal tax credits that end and reduce costs, understanding real customer priorities are crucial,” said the report. “Batteries that are only consumption are often cheaper to install than backup power systems; installers who match the system design with the motivations of customers can lower the costs and increase the adhesion rates.”
Although residential solar energy has undergone a recession, market leaders think ways Lower the costs And the long-term fundamentals look strong, because the stronger rising electricity demand is expected to be driven higher, thereby further strengthening the value of solar energy as protection at rising rates.
