WASHINGTON, D.C. — The United States installed a record-breaking 50 gigawatts (GW) of new solar capacity in 2024, the largest single year of new capacity added to the grid by any energy technology in over two decades.
By offsetting capital and operational costs through routine day-to-day bill savings, solar–battery systems can provide back-up power during outages without imposing additional expenses on households. Back-up viability refers to a household’s ability to maintain affordable back-up power using solar PV, battery storage or both during grid outages.
To ensure affordability, we impose a constraint that the expected household electricity costs under the back-up plan do not exceed those of a scenario with no solar or battery. This ensures that installing solar–battery systems for backup does not increase a household’s overall electricity expenses relative to having no installations.
Together, solar and battery storage account for 81% of the expected total capacity additions, with solar making up over 50% of the increase. Solar. In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year.
Our solar power systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
