According to The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), The U.S Solar Industry is a 50 – State Market, while California has traditionally dominated the U.S. solar market, other markets are continuing to expand rapidly. States like Texas, Florida, and New York all saw major growth in 2022. In addition, half of U.S. states have now installed 1 GW or more of solar, compared to only three a decade ago. As demand for solar continues to grow, new state entrants will grab an increasing share of the national market.
