READ MOREWhen utility-scale solar burst onto the scene in the middle part of the last decade, people would have scoffed at the idea of a 5-megawatt project like Recurrent''s qualifying as "utility-scale."
READ MOREUtility-scale solar power facts. Solar energy — power derived from the sun — is a vast and inexhaustible resource that can supply a significant portion of domestic and global electricity needs. In addition to being a vital source of clean energy, utility-scale solar power creates American jobs, drives innovation, and strengthens our economy.
READ MORELast year, 22.5 GW of utility-scale PV was installed in the US, a 77% jump from 2022. Solar PV accounted for over half (53%) of all new electricity-generating capacity additions for the first time ever. That fact bears repeating: the majority of the new power sources on the grid last year were large-scale solar plants.
READ MOREHighlights of this year''s update include: More than 4.5 GW AC of utility-scale solar (i.e., ground-mounted solar projects larger than 5 MW AC) achieved commercial operations in 2019, bringing cumulative capacity to 29 GW AC . Projects are spread across all 10 regions that we track, though more heavily concentrated in the sunniest regions.
READ MOREWe are pleased to release the 2022 edition of Berkeley Lab''s Utility-Scale Solar report, which presents analysis of empirical plant-level data from the U.S. fleet of ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV), PV+battery, and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) plants with capacities exceeding 5 MW AC.While focused on key developments in
