Solar power, being one safest form of power that can be easily generated in America through their enhanced technology. Using the solar power, the US citizens can power lights and use them in production of plants.
With sudden raise in the oil prices, depletion of coal and dangers enabled with nuclear power makes solar power as the best choice for most of the companies during summer.
Where ever you can find sunlight, there are high chances to generate solar energy. In general, different location contains different solar resources and by using the same PV (Photo Voltaic) panels, huge amount of electricity can be produced in few areas when compared to other locations.
As per the report generated by SEIA and GTM Research, in the year 2012, large amount of solar energy was produced by various states in America. California leads the list of largest solar power producer by installing over 1GW power and Arizona stands 2nd in the list for generating 710.3 MW.
List of states that have installed huge solar energy:
California:
Installed power: 1032.7 MW
Households powered: 626,000
Arizona:
Installed power: 710.3 MW
Households powered: 139,000
New Jersey:
Installed power: 414.9 MW
Households powered: 139,000
