What are the best states for solar?

1/14/2023

0 Comments

 
The United States is home to some of the best states for harnessing the power of the sun through photovoltaic (PV) solar energy. With advances in technology and a growing demand for renewable energy sources, now is a great time to consider investing in PV solar power.
California is currently the leader in the country for installed solar capacity, with over 20 GW of solar power currently installed. This is due to a combination of strong state policies, a high electricity cost, and abundant sunlight. Arizona and North Carolina also have strong solar potential, with Arizona ranking second in the nation for installed solar capacity and North Carolina ranking third.
Other states that have strong solar potential and have been making significant investments in solar power include Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Nevada. These states have set ambitious renewable energy targets, and have implemented policies to support the growth of the solar industry.
It's important to note that even states with less sunlight can still benefit from solar power. New York and New Jersey, for example, have relatively high electricity costs and strong state policies in place to support solar power, making them attractive options for solar power development.
In addition, states with abundant land and strong transmission infrastructure, such as Texas, could also become major players in the solar power industry in the future.
In summary, the best states for PV solar power in the United States are currently California, Arizona, and North Carolina, but states like Massachusetts, New Jersey, Nevada, New York and Texas also have strong potential for solar power development. It's important to note that while the amount of sunlight a state receives is important, other factors such as electricity costs, state policies, and transmission infrastructure are also important when determining the best states for PV solar power."
