The top five US states for solar installation added over 18GW of new PV generation capacity in 2023 between them, in a year which saw solar account for 53% of all US electricity capacity additions.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) published data last week breaking down the installations in these top 5 states, which it said were Ohio, Colorado, Florida, California and Texas (in ascending order). The SEIA said: “While federal clean energy policies [namely the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)] played a major role in driving this growth, the work happening at the state level is the untold story of America’s favourite energy source in 2023.”
