Overview of large-scale solar container projects across the country

The map below, created from the U.S. Large-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Database, shows the sites of ground-mounted solar installations in the country with a capacity of 1 megawatt or more. There are more than 8,300 major solar projects currently in the database, representing over 346 GWdc of capacity. There are over 1,380 major energy storage projects currently in the database, representing more than 111,300 MWh of capacity. The list shows that there are more than 185 GWdc of major. This new public resource will enable researchers to observe trends in large-scale solar development as well as inform siting and planning for future deployment contributing to the Biden-Harris Administration goals to decarbonize the electricity sector by 2035. “Nearly 4,000 solar systems are mapped. The scale of solar projects in the United States keeps growing, with September 2025 marking several major milestones. From record-breaking solar farms switching online to multi-hundred-megawatt developments securing financing, this month underscored how utility-scale solar is leading the renewable. The U.S. added 48.2 GW of utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage capacity in 2024. capacity in 2024 than in 2023. • Solar and batteries accounted for 89% of new clean energy deployment. of new capacity added. New natural gas capacity made up just 5% of the country’s new power capacity. Committed to Restoring America’s Energy Dominance. ICMA releases two new case studies on impactful solar developments for local governments. In recent years, solar energy has been one of the fastest-growing sources of renewable energy in the United States, with the potential to provide clean, affordable, and reliable power to communities and.
