Utility-scale U.S. solar electricity generation continues to grow in
In the final five months of 2024, we expect new U.S. solar electricity generating capacity will make up 63%, or nearly two-thirds, of all new electricity generating capacity to come online in the
EIA: 99%+ of new US capacity in 2026 will be solar, wind
Solar, wind, and batteries are set to supply virtually all net new US generating capacity in 2026, according to the latest EIA data.
Calculate Your Solar Panels'' Daily Energy Production
Calculating your solar panel daily production is essential data for optimizing your photovoltaic installation and efficiently managing your electrical consumption. Unlike annual estimates, daily production
Solar power continues to surge in 2024
Countries that have already seen rapid levels of solar growth need to make sure they are planning for power systems with high levels of solar capacity. There is already twice the
Installed solar energy capacity
Total renewable capacity (on-grid and off-grid) Hydropower Renewable hydropower (including mixed plants) Pumped storage (note that this is included in total hydropower capacity, but
New solar plants expected to support most U.S. electric generation
We expect that planned renewable capacity additions will support most of the growth in U.S. electric power generation, which we expect will increase by 2% in 2025 and by 1% in 2026.
Solar, battery storage to lead new U.S. generating capacity additions
In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year. We expect this trend will continue in 2025, with 32.5 GW of new utility
REPORT: Solar Adds More New Capacity to the Grid in 2024 Than
According to the U.S. Solar Market Insight 2024 Year in Review report released today by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie, solar and storage account for
Global renewable capacity is set to grow strongly, driven by solar PV
Solar PV will account for around 80% of the global increase in renewable power capacity over the next five years – driven by low costs and faster permitting timeframes – followed by wind,
U.S. total solar capacity to double over three-year span
This growth represents a doubling of cumulative solar capacity in the United States in just three years. The figures from EIA mark a slight upward revision from its forecast released last month.
