The purpose of this threshold is to include PV capacity and generation that is otherwise not collected on Form EIA-860 and
More than one-third of U.S. solar power capacity is small-scale solar—a share that has been declining in recent years because utility-scale solar has been growing faster. We expect both small-scale and utility-scale solar to continue growing through 2024. In some states, small-scale solar capacity is growing faster than the U.S. average in
While the share of solar power generation was 4.2 % of the total electricity generation in 2021, it increased to 4.7 % in 2022, representing a 9.2 % increase. The share of solar power generation in total electricity generation is experiencing growth due to continuous investments in the solar power industry.

With half of the world's electricity to come from solar in future – and half of that DG arrays – utilities will have to embrace the VPPs expected to become widespread in the US in the next two years, and later in Australia, parts of Europe, and, potentially strong DER markets such as Japan.
However, onshore continues growing in absolute terms until 2040, and offshore to the end of the simulation. Concentrated solar power grows over the entire period, but without targeted policy its overall share in the power mix remains small, despite its advantage as a dispatchable source of electricity.
Small-scale PV systems drove the installation of more than 200 GW of solar capacity last year and could support more than 300 GW this year. That means a reset for utilities. The rooftop revolution heralds big change for traditional electric companies.
In comparison to the PV installations in 2018 (481 GW), the world's PV installed capacity is projected to increase almost six times by 2030 (to 2841 GW) and almost 18 times by 2050 (to 8519 GW, of which the distributed scale (rooftop) would account for 40% while the remaining 60% would be utility scale).
In the past 5 years, 5 states (MA, VT, UT, AZ, and RI) shifted over 10% of their electricity generation to solar sources. Some of the increase in Massachusetts' percentage is due to a significant reduction in total electricity production in the state.
China was responsible for about 38% of solar PV generation growth in 2022, thanks to large capacity additions in 2021 and 2022. The second largest generation growth (a 17% share of the total) was recorded in the European Union, followed by the United States (15%).
