The adoption of rooftop solar systems with battery storage is rapidly increasing in Puerto Rico and the US. Puerto Rico is adding 4,500 rooftop solar systems a month, totaling 680 MW of solar and 1.6GWh of batteries. In the US, battery storage installations are projected to triple in 2024 compared to 2022, enhancing grid and home reliability. Solar energy is on the rise globally, with small-scale solar installations growing significantly in Illinois and nationwide.
Rooftop solar skyrocketed in Illinois in the past five years Small-scale solar, which produced 10 times as much electricity nationwide in 2022 as 10 years earlier, still just scratching the surface. @nschoenberg has more https://t.co/SgjkGgMltR
“Despite claims that solar+wind are rapidly replacing fossil fuels, they provide less than 5% of world energy—only electricity, ⅕ of energy—and, crucially, even that small %age depends on huge subsidies and reliable (mostly fossil-fueled) power plants.” https://t.co/yUXnbOYAQ4
We're fast approaching a tipping point where accelerating global solar growth – on its own – starts outstripping the world's rising electricity demand That means falling coal & gas power (& CO2) – particularly once you factor in nuclear, wind, etc Chart based on BNEF/IEA STEPS https://t.co/aPPFHcFB2D

Triple: US battery storage installations will be three times greater in 2024 than they were in 2022! Solar in homes and utility-scale installations are often paired with battery storage. Batteries improve reliability on grids and at homes & businesses. https://t.co/pMeMTSC3fj https://t.co/0KQlTenU5Z
Puerto Rico is adding 4,500 rooftop solar systems a month, 100% of which are joined by batteries. Distributed energy has tripled in the last 2 years -- up to 680 MW of solar, 1.6GWh of batteries. A huge virtual power plant taking shape! https://t.co/ypiPydzi0h
