Over 6.5GW of US solar PV capacity will be totally obscured from sunlight by today’s full solar eclipse, according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

As the eclipse passes over the US later this afternoon, solar installations will experience varying levels of limited sunlight, the EIA said. In total, around 84.8GW of capacity will be totally or partially affected across the country.
