Few states were untouched by this solar boom.
As the map below shows, developers built utility-scale solar projects in 45 different states, everywhere from Florida to Maine to Hawaii.

Texas added the most capacity, bringing 8.9 GW of new capacity online.
Florida added the second most capacity (~3 GW). The Sunshine State added more solar capacity than California (2.5 GW) for the first time.
Arkansas, Missouri, and Louisiana all saw solar surge in 2024. It’s worth noting that these are all deep red states.
Using Cleanview's project tracker, I identified more than 23 GW of solar, 12 GW of storage, and 6 GW of wind capacity that is already under construction.
Trump's policies will have limited impact on these projects.
Most clean energy is being built in counties that voted for Trump. Traditional political economy / theory would say it'd be unpopular to repeal the clean energy tax credits.
The only way Congress will keep clean energy policies in places is if we all demand it.
