The US added a record 18.5GWac of utility-scale solar capacity in 2023 and has already added 14.3GWac in the first eight months of 2024, around 70% more than in the same period of 2023.

This would suggest that 2024 will be a record year for the US utility-scale solar sector, and this is a key takeaway from the latest report from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a leading Californian research centre. ‘Utility-scale Solar, 2024 Edition’ breaks down the US utility-scale solar sector, alongside distributed industries, to provide a snapshot of the county’s solar profile.
