In 2022, solar photovoltaics made up 4.7% of U.S. electricity generation, an increase of almost 21% over the 2021 total when solar produced 3.9% of US electricity.
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
Renewable energy statistics 2024 provides datasets on power-generation capacity for 2014-2023, actual power generation for 2014-2022 and renewable energy balances for over 150 countries and areas for
This dataset contains yearly electricity generation, capacity, emissions, import and demand data for over 200 geographies. You can find more about Ember''s methodology in this
Solar energy accounted for some 6.91 percent of electricity generation in the United States in 2024, up from a 5.62 percent share a year earlier.
The US generated 18,938GWh of electricity from utility-scale solar in April 2024, accounting for 6.1% of its total electricity generation.
This report uses data from the EIA to analyze solar and wind capacity and generation over the past decade (2014 to 2023) in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Solar photovoltaic and solar thermal power plants provided about 4% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity and accounted for 18% of utility-scale electricity generation from renewable sources
Energy generation from renewables continued its steady upward trend, as a result of increases in solar generation (and despite a drop in wind and hydro generation).
