Solar currently accounts for less than 4% of U.S. electricity production. The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicted in 2021 that 46 gigawatts (GW) of new grid-scale electric generating capacity— almost half of it solar—would be added to the U.S. power grid in 2022. Projecting grid-scale solar deployment.
Developers added 12 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale solar electric generating capacity in the United States during the first half of 2025, and they plan to add another 21 GW in the second half of the year, according to our latest survey of electric generating capacity changes.
Grid-scale solar developments (GSSD) (also called utility-scale solar) are often called "solar arrays." They normally consist of about one hundred to several thousand acres of ground-mounted solar panels that produce electricity for transmission into the power grid for use offsite.
A grid-scale solar development typically generates more than 5 megawatts (MW) of electricity, which can be sold to a single downstream user or placed onto the grid for wider use by numerous customers. Credit: Penn State MCOR How Much Solar Energy Do We Have Now and How Quickly Is It Growing?
The global containerized energy storage and solar container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with commercial and industrial energy storage demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 50% of all new modular energy storage installations worldwide. North America leads with 45% market share, driven by industrial power needs and commercial facility demand.
