The US Department of Energy has proposed sweeping cuts to its research laboratories, including the National Laboratory of the Rockies (formerly the National Renewable Energy Laboratory).

US utility-scale solar additions grew by 56% in 2024, reaching 30GW from 2023’s 19GW and representing over 54% of all new electricity generation capacity added in the country last year.

This could be a sign of a “healthy, competitive marketplace" according to research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

The US distributed solar sector added 808,349 new operational systems in 2023, a record figure for a 12-month period.

A Lawrence Berkeley National Lab report has quantified the improving value of solar and wind power in the US.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) research shows that the use of solar panels on US homes can cut energy burden to as low as 1.3%.

Grid bottlenecks have emerged as a significant obstacle standing in the way of the energy transition in the US.

A new report from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that new solar and wind capacity drove US$249 billion of economic benefits.

Residential solar installations in California since the introduction of the NEM 3.0 have been roughly equal to the amount in the prior year.

With more than 1TW of solar waiting for grid connection, PV Tech Premium looks at where the PV capacity is queued up in the US.
