There were 10.6 gigawatts (GW) of solar photovoltaics (PV) power installed in the US in 2018, which brought the overall solar PV capacity to 64.2 GW. Despite the growth, this figure marked a 2 percent decrease from solar PV capacity installed the year prior. However, it is anticipated that total PV capacity will more than double by 2024, reaching annual installation levels of 15 GW of PV capacity. The slight decrease in year-over-year growth was attributed to "unnecessary tariffs that were imposed on solar cells and modules," according to Solar Energy Industries Association CEO and President Abigail Ross Hopper. Leading the way in regards to total PV capacity per state through the second quarter of 2018 was California, which accounted for more than one-third of all installed solar power in the US at 23 GW. Almost 17 percent of the state's entire power generation comes from solar, while the sector itself employs more than 86,000 people. North Carolina ranks second with more than 8,300 solar installations accounting for nearly 4.5 GW of PV capacity. Arizona (3.6 GW), Nevada (2.66 GW), and Texas (2.6 GW) round out the top five.
