The numbers are in from the DOE’s Energy Information Administration and things are certainly looking up for solar. Apparently solar represented over 4% of electricity generation in the US last year and so far the growth has been 26%. Also, 5 states have met more that 10% of electricity demand and 6 more have doubled their solar deployment. Specifically, 6 Midwest and Atlantic Coast states showed triple-digit growth and output doubled in Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
