This statistic represents U.S. solar energy capacity from 2000 through 2018. In 2018, approximately 63.6 gigawatts of solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar power capacity were installed in the United States.
Cumulative U.S. solar energy capacity between 2000 and 2018
(in megawatts)
* Figures were restated in the 2018 edition of the report.
Figures are totaled from U.S. solar PV and solar CSP capacity.
This statistic was assembled using several editions of the report.
