Finding this image with a few more pixels to repost would have been too much work? [Wikimedia](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/U.S._solar_photovoltaic_%28PV%29_capacity_and_direct_normal_solar_irradiance_%2848048933443%29.png)
Solar radiance follows state lines?
Virginia >> West Virginia
NC and Mass going hard on solar!
My bread past its expiry date:
Damn, Minnesota must’ve had some tax credits for solar power. Also not surprising to see so little in Iowa, they went all in on wind. 2024 was the first year in which wind power was the largest producer of power for them every month. 65% of their total annual power usage comes from wind now.
Interesting. Really shows the impact of state subsidies and solar’s dependence on government subsidies.
Duke Energy in NC likes utility-grade solar. They’re a actively hostile towards residential.
what is that „585“ and „200“ near „capacity“? 585MW and 200MW?

This is normal solar irradiance, which doesn’t seem like the right metric. That would be for horizontal panels. It should be solar irradiance at the local best tilt angle. In MA that would be closer to 45 degrees, which happens to be what many roofs are, so MA is penalized by the cosine, and is getting more sun power than shown?
Absolute shit in my zip code, yet NYS insists on subsidizing them in my backyard. And side yard. And front yard.
The scale makes it look like there is a gigantic difference, but it’s just between 4.34 and 5.92, so even in the low potential regions it still makes sense
Are Alaska and Hawaii the UK+Norway+Switzerland+Balkans of Europe? „No data“?
Solar module efficiency goes up as the ambient temperature goes down.
The people making this map didn’t factor for this.
