In 2024, the solar energy generation industry experienced its largest-ever annual rise globally, fueled by China’s 44% solar output boost from January to November 2024.[1] Solar energy output also continues to expand domestically, with the U.S. generating approximately 283 terawatt-hours in 2024, comprising a 14.7% share of the global market. In fact, domestically, solar energy now accounts for more than half of all new electricity on the grid, and, with a continued focus on renewable energy, is projected to continue to grow.[2]
