SEIA makes major solar project data available to the public through the map below. SEIA members have exclusive access to the list as a sortable, searchable MS Excel file that is updated monthly. This version contains additional, valuable information that is not included in the map below, such as the owner, electricity purchaser.

SEIA does not guarantee that every identified project will be built. Like any other industry, market conditions may impact project economics.The Major Solar Projects List is a database of all ground-mounted solar projects, 1 MW and above, that are either operating, under construction or under development. The list is for informational purposes only, reflecting projects and completed milestones in the public domain.

FirmoGraphs is tracking more than 100 very large solar projects starting construction in 2023 with a total estimated value of nearly $40 billion.

The United States Large-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Database (USPVDB) provides the locations and array boundaries of U.S. ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) facilities with capacity of 1 megawatt or more. It includes corresponding PV facility information, including panel type, site type, and initial year of operation.

About 560 gigawatts direct current (GW dc) of photovoltaic (PV) installations are projected for 2024, up about a third from 2023. The five leading solar markets in 2023 kept pace or increased PV installation capacity in the first half of 2024, with China installing more than 100 GW dc and India installing more solar in the first half of 2024 .

Enel North America intends to build one of the largest solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing facilities in the US, expected to initially produce at least 3 GW and scale up to 6 GW of high-performance bifacial PV modules and cells annually. The proposed facility will be among the first in the United States to produce PV cells, the key building .
