Solar deployment and electric vehicle (EV) sales broke records in 2023 and 2024. Renewables now dominate new power generation capacity, while new domestic clean energy
The US is experiencing its most transformative year for electricity generation in over 20 years, driven by a surge in solar energy and backed by large-scale battery storage.
The past decade was transformative for solar, with rapid cost reductions and subsequent increases in deployment. It is now possible to envision—and chart a path toward—a future where solar provides
Solar continues to dominate new electricity generation capacity added to the grid in the United States, according to the Energy Information Administration''s (EIA) latest release of its Electric
We expect the combined share of generation from solar power and wind power to rise from about 18% in 2025 to about 21% in 2027. In our STEO forecast, utility-scale solar is the fastest
Top 10 states for utility- and small-scale solar (combined) generation in 2023. Find data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia in the full dataset.
Solar generation boomed in 2024, rising by 27%, while wind rose by 7% and coal fell by 3.3%. Since the peak of US coal power in 2007, wind and solar have overtaken coal in 24 states,

Solar power includes solar farms as well as local distributed generation, mostly on rooftops and increasingly from community solar arrays. In 2024, utility-scale solar power generated 219.8 terawatt-hours (TWh) in the United States. Total solar generation that year, including estimated small-scale photovoltaic generation, was 303.8 TWh. As of the end of 2024, the United States had 239 gigawatts (GW) of installed photovol
In recent years, solar power generation has seen more rapid growth than wind power in the United States. However, among renewables used for electricity, wind has been a more common
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that, in 2024, the United States added a record 30 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale solar to the grid, accounting for 61% of new
