California now sources close to 30% of its power from renewables. Last year, solar alone jumped for 1.9% to 5% of the Golden State’s total generation. With just 23 megawatts short of cracking the 10 gigawatts barrier, California has more installed solar capacity than all other states combined. This number doesn’t even include decentralized rooftop solar installations, an area in which California also leads with some 2.3 gigawatts of estimated capacity, according to Bloomberg. A promising trend in the face of the drought-led decline in hydro-power.
