In 2024, net solar power generation in the United States reached its highest point yet at 218.5 terawatt hours of solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) power. Solar power generation has increased drastically over the past two decades, especially since 2011, when it hovered just below two terawatt hours. The U.S. solar industry In the United States, an exceptionally high number of solar-related jobs are based in California. With a boost from state legislation, California has long been a forerunner in solar technology. In the second quarter of 2024, it had a cumulative solar PV capacity of more than 48 gigawatts. Outside of California, Texas, Florida, and North Carolina were the states with the largest solar PV capacity. Clean energy in the U.S. In recent years, solar power generation has seen more rapid growth than wind power in the United States. However, among renewables used for electricity, wind has been a more common and substantial source for the past decade. Wind power surpassed conventional hydropower as the largest source of renewable electricity in 2019. While there are major environmental costs often associated with the construction and operation of large hydropower facilities, hydro remains a vital source of electricity generation for the United States.

Solar energy accounted for some 5.6 percent of electricity generation in the United States in 2023, up from a 4.8 percent share a year earlier. California was the state with the largest percentage of its electricity generation covered by solar, with approximately 27.3 percent.

Sri Lanka: Solar electricity generation, billion kilowatthours: The latest value from 2023 is 0.8 billion kilowatthours, an increase from 0.72 billion kilowatthours in 2022. In comparison, the world average is 8.63 billion kilowatthours, based on data from 188 countries. Historically, the average for Sri Lanka from 1980 to 2023 is 0.08 billion kilowatthours. The minimum value, 0 billion kilowatthours, was reached in 1980 while the maximum of 0.8 billion kilowatthours was recorded in 2023.

Solar power generation in India has increased considerably in the last few years. In 2024, the country produced roughly 133.81 terawatt-hours of electricity from solar energy. India aims to achieve a total solar capacity of 280 gigawatts by 2030. Solar potential in India India, blessed with about 300 sunny days yearly, experiences a significant influx of solar energy. This annual solar potential surpasses the collective energy output of all available fossil fuel reserves. In 2024, solar power comprised nearly 36 percent of India's renewable potential, marking a substantial shift toward a more sustainable and diverse energy mix. Solar power in Gujarat The Gujarat Renewable Energy Policy introduced by the state's government sets a target to generate 50 perent of renewable energy by 2030. As of March 2024, Gujarat was the leading state, with nearly 2.5 gigawatts of installed rooftop solar capacity.
