It all began with Edmond Becquerel, a young physicist working in France, who in 1839 observed and discovered the photovoltaic effect - a process that produces a voltage or electric current when exposed to light or radiant energy.
This powerful visualization tool provides real-time access to detailed information about every major power generation facility in the United States, from massive nuclear plants to small-scale solar installations.
As of the end of 2024, the United States had 239 gigawatts (GW) of installed photovoltaic (utility and small scale) and concentrated solar power capacity combined. This capacity is exceeded only by China and the European Union.
The social benefits of solar energy extend far beyond its environmental advantages, offering a plethora of opportunities to uplift communities, create jobs, and foster a healthier, more equitable society.
California has several large concentrated solar power plants. The (392 MW), located 40 miles (60 km) southwest of and developed by and , is the world's largest solar thermal power project. The project has received a $1.375 billion loan guarantee from the. It deploys 347,000.
