Solar energy has become the #1 source of new electricity generation capacity in the United States in recent years, like in other markets around the world. Solar energy is just cheaper, more resilient, quicker to build, and good for energy independence and energy security. But what solar facts do you … [continued]
House-passed federal tax legislation threatens to undercut the solar industry, which is the primary source of new U.S. electricity generation and is delivering a historic boom in domestic manufacturing WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. solar industry added 8.6 gigawatts (GW) of new solar module manufacturing capacity in Q1 2025, marking … [continued]
I was scrolling through the latest Snapshot of Global PV Markets report from the International Energy Agency’s Photovoltaic Power Systems Program (IEA PVPS) and I noticed the following chart. China has been the largest solar PV market far and away for several years now (I’ll come back to that later … [continued]
The cleantech revolution continues on — every … single … day. It seems like such a short time that we’ve gone from the huge milestone of solar and wind power providing more than 50% of new power capacity additions in the US to solar and wind power now providing almost … [continued]
We received a note from a reader, Daniel Miller, yesterday. He noted, “March 21st was the first time in US that Solar was the 2nd highest electric production on an hourly basis. Happened again on 22nd.” That’s quite a huge accomplishment. I haven’t seen it covered elsewhere, so a huge … [continued]

Renewable energy resources are kicking gas power plants to the curb in the US, with solar capacity additions leading the way over the next three years.
We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U.S. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48.6 GW of capacity was installed, the largest capacity installation in a single … [continued]
