The latest update contains project-level data on 1,760 solar projects installed through 2024. These data are made available in several formats, including a summary slide deck, a public data file with non-confidential data on 57 tabs and additional visualizations.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) Photovoltaic (PV) Rooftop Database (PVRDB) is a lidar-derived, geospatially-resolved dataset of suitable roof surfaces and their PV technical potential for 128 metropolitan regions in the United States.
The Solar Power Generation Data dataset provides synchronized inverter-level AC/DC power and yield measurements together with plant-level weather sensor observations from two grid-connected photovoltaic plants in India over 34 days at approximately 15‑minute resolution.

Data generated through improved solar forecasting helps utilities and grid operators better understand when, where, and how much solar power will be produced at any given time and helps solar facility owners participate in energy markets.
As renewable energy continues its rapid expansion in the Unites States, multi-decadal hourly datasets of electricity production are needed to asses reliability and resource adequacy of power grids.
During this period, major developments have occurred in the solar PV industry and in related policy areas including (1) a greater than 80% reduction in component and systems costs; (2) enactment of laws modifying federal support for solar PV, including tax incentives; (3).
Solar didn't just show up in 2025 - it carried the grid. A new analysis from global energy think tank Ember shows that solar power accounted for 61% of the growth in US electricity demand last year, highlighting how central solar has become as power demand accelerates.
Estimates the energy production and cost of energy of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) energy systems throughout the world. It allows homeowners, small building owners, installers and manufacturers to easily develop estimates of the performance of potential PV.
