Solar power in the United States. Solar power in the United States includes utility-scale solar power plants as well as local distributed generation, mostly from rooftop photovoltaics. As of the end of 2016, the U.S. had 40 gigawatts (GW) of installed photovoltaic capacity, having almost doubled in capacity from the previous year.
That so-called utility-scale solar market is still significantly bigger than the one is for homes. In the most recent quarter, there were 729 megawatts worth of solar panels installed in solar farms for utilities. At the same time there were 473 megawatts of solar panels installed on home roofs. One thousand megawatts is about the size of a large coal or natural gas plant. But the amount of U.S. residential solar panels has been growing more rapidly, and has been expanding across more states than ever before.
