US Solar Farms
[Last updated: Jan 2026]
Solar farms in the United States represent the network of large utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants that deliver bulk electric generation across the US. This page aggregates information on major solar farms, organized by state. The United States has rapidly emerged as one of the world’s leaders in utility-scale solar deployment.
These facilities contribute significant renewable generation capacity, influence transmission planning, and play a growing role in grid integration, often alongside battery storage and other grid assets.
The total solar power capacity in the U.S. in 2025 is about 150 GW, with projected growth up to 400 GW by 2030. This represents about 10% of total capacity today, and up to 30% of total capacity by 2030.
US Solar farms >200 MW
The following lists all solar farm power projects 200 MW and greater in capacity by state in the U.S. The top 3 solar-power producing states are Texas, California, and Florida.
National Deployment Patterns
Utility-scale solar parks are concentrated in regions with high solar resource potential, grid access, and supportive policy environments. Texas, Arizona and California have among the largest cumulative capacity.
Integration with Grid & Storage
Solar farms interact with transmission infrastructure and are increasingly co-located with battery energy storage systems to manage variability and support grid reliability.
