The United States is in the top 4 ranking for countries with the most solar PV installed. The American Solar Energy Industries Association projected that total solar PV capacity would reach over 100 GW by 2021.
The United States conducted much early research in photovoltaics and concentrated solar power and is among the top countries in the world in deploying the technology, being home to 4 of the 10 largest utility-scale photovoltaic power stations in the world as of 2017.
A recent report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie reveals that the country added over 40 GW of new solar capacity in 2023 and has already installed 11.8 GW in the first half of 2024. Apart from this, the US is also ramping up its module manufacturing capacity.
Given the country's geographic location advantage and the high potential for generating electricity from solar energy, its generation capacity is expected to increase from the current 1.2% of the total 23 GW to at least 3.5% of the total 43 GW generating capacity by 2040.
But reports reveal that the country is on track to reach this target by the end of 2024. In June 2024, the country launched a 5 GW solar farm in Northwestern Xinjiang. Spanning 20,000 acres, the facility is now the world’s largest solar power plant. The nation is also the largest manufacturer of solar equipment.
Germany is among the top-4 ranked countries in terms of installed photovoltaic solar capacity. The overall capacity has reached 42.98 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2017. Photovoltaics contribute almost 6% to the national electricity demands. Germany has seen an outstanding period of photovoltaic installations from 2010 until 2012.
