In 2023 the five states that generated the lowest percentage from solar were ND, WV, OK, AK, and SD at 0.01%, 0.09%, 0.27%, 0.28% and 0.29%, respectively. The bottom 14 states get less than 1% of their electricity from solar. Contributing factors: policy, price of electricity, public awareness and education on its benefits, geographic and climatic conditions that affect solar potential, availability of alternative emission-free electricity from wind, hydro, and nuclear.
