Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
New York reached 8 GW of installed distributed solar capacity, ahead of its 10 GW target by 2030, generating $12.2 billion in private investment and creating 16,000+ jobs across 276,000 projects supplying power to 1.3 million homes and businesses.
The milestone reflects the energy generated by rooftop solar; grid integration and storage needs remain part of the broader energy transition.
