| Abstract |
Latest Database Release: USPVDB_V2_0_20240807 The latest release includes data on 4,185 facilities covering 47 states (plus the District of Columbia). The most recent facilities added to the USPVDB became operational as recently as the third quarter of 2023. The oldest facilities in the data set were installed prior to 1990. USPVDB releases generally lag installations by more than a year, due to the release times of underlying data, including satellite imagery, and the effort required to digitize facilities. Click here to go to the U.S. Large-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Database website and online viewer, where the USPVDB data can be downloaded. This site holds the codebooks, memos and other information about the most recent USPVDB data release. Please email [email protected] for information.
