Utility-Scale Solar, 2021 Edition: Empirical Trends in Deployment ...
Berkeley Lab''s "Utility-Scale Solar, 2021 Edition" provides an overview of key trends in the U.S. market, with a focus on 2020. Highlights of this year''s update include: A record of nearly 9.6 GW AC of new utility-scale PV capacity came online in 2020, bringing cumulative installed capacity to more than 38.7 GW AC across 43 states.
Solar''s Share of New Capacity has Grown Rapidly. Solar was the predominant new generating capacity to the grid each of the last three years and that the same is expected in 2024. 55% of all new electric capacity added to the grid in 2023 came from solar, marking the first time in 80 years a renewable energy resource has captured a majority of new …
