Utility-scale (29%) and distributed (15%) solar accounted for a combined 45% of all capacity added to U.S. grids in 2021 (ahead of wind’s 32%). Solar has contributed >30% of all new capacity in 5 of the last 6 years, and >20% in each of the last 9 years.
Analysts estimate 2023 global installations reached around 440 GWdc, an 89% increase over 2022 installations, bringing cumulative global capacity to approximately 1.6 TWdc. A significant portion of the increase came from China, which deployed around 250 GWdc of solar.
expand community solar access at the state level. This report supports the community solar industry to meet the NCSP 2025 target by documenting existing state-level community solar policies and programs. Although many policy variants may affect program design, this report focuses on four key components: • Program caps:
U.S. Department of Commerce Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee Charter 6, 2020-2022 Recommendation Fact Sheet 3 • Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act. On June 23, 2021. The Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act (S.2140) was introduced in the United States Senate. 7 This
best-value strategies for meeting the State of Minnesota’s solar goals. As part of this aim, the Pathways Team is modeling renewable generation costs, examining ways to streamline interconnection, and evaluating technologies that can increase solar hosting capacity on the distribution grid.
The reported U.S. system capacity factors are consistent with the range of estimated capacity factors in the 2023 ATB (21%–34% in 2021). The figure below shows historical data for capacity factor as a function of ILR, solar resource, and mounting type. Cumulative net AC capacity factor of U.S. utility-scale PV projects
Looking ahead, at least 947 GW of solar capacity was in the nation’s interconnection queues at the end of 2022 (see figure below). Nearly 457 GW, or 48%, of that total was paired with a battery.
