The New York Times has released a list of the top 10 solar states, and California has come out on top. In fact, California’s solar output makes up 47 percent of all that comes out of the United States.
That puts second place New Jersey at a distant second, with 14 percent. But those two states completely dominate the list, as the rest goes as follows:
- 3. Colorado: 5 percent
- 4. Arizona: 5 percent
- 5. Nevada: 5 percent
- 6. Florida: 4 percent
- 7. New York: 3 percent
- 8. Pennsylvania: 3 percent
- 9. New Mexico: 2 percent
- 10. North Carolina: 2 percent
But not everybody is happy about the influx of solar panels. “It’s just an eyesore,” one New Jersey resident told the Times. The state is currently in the process of a solar revolution, which aims to have 23 percent of New Jersey’s electricity coming from renewable sources.
