The US just hit a major milestone when it comes to solar power, according to a new report. As it turns out, there are now more than two million solar installations in the US, enough to power more than 12 million homes. Just three years ago, the number of solar installations stood at one million, marking an incredibly sharp increase thanks to plummeting costs.
California was a major player in that growth, being responsible for 51 percent of the first million installations and 43 percent of the second. Texas, Rhode Island, Florida, Utah, and Maryland were also key players. Although reaching the two million mark is impressive, it doesn’t look like the solar industry will be stopping there: the report predicts that the number is set to double within the next four years.
