As most installations come online at the year''s end, we expect 2023 annual installations to reach a record-breaking 23 GWdc, a 76% increase on the previous year. While 2023 was the year of rebound for the utility-scale solar sector, 2024 is slated to be the year of continuous improvement and learning for stakeholders across the segment.
Utility-scale solar. Utility-scale solar is large scale (sometimes defined as greater than 1 MW [1] or sometimes 4 MW AC ) solar power either from: A photovoltaic power station at a scale large enough to be classified as ''utility-scale''; or Concentrated solar power whereas rooftop solar is usually smaller. The utility-scale solar sector has led ...

Utility scale solar farms contribute to bird diversity. New research has shown that solar parks can play a positive role in promoting bird diversity in the …
Last year, 22.5 GW of utility-scale PV was installed in the US, a 77% jump from 2022. Solar PV accounted for over half (53%) of all new electricity-generating capacity additions for the first time ever. That fact bears repeating: the majority of the new power sources on the grid last year were large-scale solar plants.
Provisional figures show that 2023 set a new and massive record for utility-scale solar, doubling the previous best. Large-scale solar installations have increased in almost every year of this ...
Nonetheless, 2023 is shaping up to be the strongest year on record for utility- scale solar, as the first eight months have already yielded 8.6 GW of capacity additions, which is 30% more than the prior record pace through August set in 2021. Based on EIA projections of capacity additions for September through
Project-level CapEx and capacity factor data presented elsewhere in this deck. Levelized OpEx declines from $35/kWDC-yr in 2007 to $17/kWDC-yr in 2019 (2019$); project life increases from 21.5 years in 2007 to 32.4 years in 2019 (from previous LBNL research) Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) based on 10% equity return over time; debt ...
