  6. Largest Rooftop Solar Array in Each State

    Provided below are the largest rooftop solar arrays in each state, as measured by the array’s capacity in kilowatts or megawatts. The top five rooftop installations in the nation by state ranking are:

    1. Maryland = 13.1 megawatts

    2. Texas = 12.3 megawatts (to date)

    3. New Jersey = 9.9 megawatts

    4. Pennsylvania = 8.0 megawatts

    5. New York* = 7.7 megawatts

    *Nevada’s 8.3/6.5 number averages less than New York’s

    Tradepoint Atlantic in Baltimore – Source: tradepointatlantic.com

    What is particularly interesting is four of the top five states for rooftop solar energy installations are located in the Northeast. Part of the reason for this could be these areas are more forested and more developed, so available tracts of land are more difficult to find. Another reason is they are more supportive of promoting alternative energy options.

    For a few states and Puerto Rico, information was difficult to find. As a result, numbers for Alabama, Idaho, New Mexico, and North Dakota are based on internet searches, which may not be fully up to date. For those listed as unknown (Arkansas, Puerto Rico, South Dakota, and Wyoming), reasonably reliable data for specific arrays could not be located.

    One wishes that big box American retailers would follow the path led by IKEA by installing arrays on their store and warehouse rooftops. IKEA is represented  by four stores on the list.

    briefly looked up Kumaras ...etc. and learned a little more about Hinduism. Correction: further baffled by Hinduism. There's a lot there, I'm sure it's interesting, and I just liked this image. Seems like these fellows are in good place. I'm still working at it and sometimes I'm able to dance to the record that's on the turntable, as my friend used to say.
