Tracking Solar Power across the USA

This databook also provides market share information for the top developers and solar farms with a breakdown between concentrated solar and photovoltaic plants. Data coverage is for the latest month, year-to-date and 3 years of history.

Summary

In August 2011, a cumulative 1,013 MW of solar energy capacity across the USA generated 285 GWh of electricity. 175 MW of capacity have been added year to date and electricity generation from solar energy sources is 51.35% higher than the same period the previous year. Solar energy now accounts for 0.10% of total capacity across the USA and has accounted for 1.30% of all added capacity year to date.

This is just a snapshop of generation, consumption and capacity trends for solar energy across the USA. The full report Tracking Solar Energy across the USA contains over 55 pages of detailed tables, charts, maps and analysis and is updated monthly.
