California leads in solar adoption and capacity
California has installed upwards of ~46,874 MW of solar capacity, enough to power roughly 13.9 million homes (statewide) in recent reports. Forbes
The state also has over 2,300 solar-industry companies (installers, manufacturers, developers) across the value chain. Forbes
