Developers in the US report that solar power is expected to make up a significant portion of new electric generating capacity, with some reports suggesting it could be around half. The amount of new power capacity to be added varies across reports, with some citing record-breaking numbers, such as 86 gigawatts in 2026. The exact amount of solar power to be added is also uncertain, with different outlets reporting different figures, including 32 gigawatts over the next 12 months and 50 gigawatts in 2025.
