– Together, utility -scale solar and wind generation accounted for more power than coal generation. – Solar overtook hydropower to be the second -largest source of renewable energy
The report finds that the U.S. solar industry installed 10.8 GW of new electricity generating capacity in Q1, and solar and storage account for 82% of all new generating capacity added to the grid.
This report includes generation capacity data from 50 U.S. states as well as American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Developers are on track to make 2025 a record year for new electric generation in the United States, with solar power expected to dominate capacity growth. More than half of all new...
Solar. 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
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.
Solar accounted for 75% of the 28 GW of new generation installed in 2025 so far, followed by wind at 13% and gas at 11%.
In September, 98% of new electric generating capacity in the United States came from solar, marking 25 consecutive months where solar led other energy sources.

In the United States, 14,626 MW of PV was installed in 2016, a 95% increase over 2015 (7,493 MW). During 2016, 22 states added at least 100 MW of capacity. Just 4,751 MW of PV installations were completed in 2013. The U.S. had approximately 440 MW of off-grid photovoltaics as of the end of 2010. Through the end of 2005, a majority of photovoltaics in the United States was off-grid.
