The Vitality Data Administration’s “Electric Power Monthly” report by means of November 30, 2025, signifies that photo voltaic PV stays the quickest rising supply of recent electrical energy, in keeping with an evaluation by the SUN DAY Marketing campaign.

Regardless of coverage headwinds, utility-scale photo voltaic technology elevated almost 34% in November 2025 in comparison with the earlier yr. Mixed with small-scale photo voltaic installations, akin to rooftop initiatives, output accounted for 7.2% of the USA’ electrical energy, in comparison with 5.9% in 2024.
Wind and solar present nearly one-fifth of whole U.S. electrical technology — a bigger share than that supplied by both coal or nuclear energy.
Through the first 11 months of 2025, electrical technology by wind plus utility- and small-scale photo voltaic elevated by 12.2% and supplied nearly one fifth (19.0%) of the U.S. whole, up from 17.3% through the first 11 months of 2024. The mix of wind and photo voltaic supplied 16.9% extra electrical energy than did coal through the first 11 months of this yr, and 10.1% greater than the nation’s nuclear energy crops.
The combo of all renewables (wind, photo voltaic, hydropower, biomass and geothermal) produced 8.7% extra electrical energy from January to November than they did a yr in the past and supplied 25.7% of whole U.S. electrical energy manufacturing in comparison with 24.3% twelve months earlier.
Renewables’ share {of electrical} technology is now second to solely that of pure gasoline whose electrical output dropped by 3.7% through the first 11 months of 2025.
Between January 1 and November 30, 2025, utility-scale photo voltaic capability grew by 22,237.2 MW whereas an extra 5,460.5 MW was supplied by small-scale photo voltaic. EIA expects one other 37,156.6 MW of photo voltaic capability to be added within the subsequent 12 months.
Battery storage grew by 49.4% because the starting of the yr and added 13,357.0 MW of recent capability. EIA reported that deliberate battery capability additions through the subsequent 12 months whole 21,502.2 MW.
“For greater than a yr now, members of the Trump Administration have sought to cease the expansion of wind and photo voltaic … and have failed,” mentioned Ken Bossong, the SUN DAY Marketing campaign’s government director. “Maybe it’s time for them to lastly acknowledge renewable power’s unstoppable progress and both get with this system or else simply get out of the way in which.”
