Solar power includes solar farms as well as local distributed generation, mostly on rooftops and increasingly from community solar arrays. In 2024, utility-scale solar power generated 219.8 terawatt
There are two primary types of solar energy technologies in use today: solar photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating solar thermal power (CSP). Each has its own distinct use and application. Solar PV is
Solar power generation is a sustainable and clean source of energy that has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate
The Orion Solar Projects showcase the success of the broader strategy to invest in America, expand domestic manufacturing, meet our clean energy goals, and continue to lead on
In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year. We expect this trend will continue in 2025, with 32.5 GW of new utility

In the United States, 14,626 MW of PV was installed in 2016, a 95% increase over 2015 (7,493 MW). During 2016, 22 states added at least 100 MW of capacity. Just 4,751 MW of PV installations were completed in 2013. The U.S. had approximately 440 MW of off-grid photovoltaics as of the end of 2010. Through the end of 2005, a majority of photovoltaics in the United States was off-grid.
In 2025, PV electricity generation is projected to supply 9.0% of total U.S. electricity generation. Storage of intermittent PV and wind electricity generation is essential to reduce fossil fuel electricity generation.
Solar deployment and electric vehicle (EV) sales broke records in 2023 and 2024. Renewables now dominate new power generation capacity, while new domestic clean energy
In Q1 2024, 11 gigawatts of solar module manufacturing capacity were activated in the United States. This represents a 71% increase, making it the largest quarterly capacity increase in
American Solar Deployment Grows at Record Pace Solar has seen massive growth since 2010. There are now 262 gigawatts direct-current of solar capacity installed nationwide, enough to power 45
When you install a solar energy system on your property, you save money on your electricity bills and protect yourself against rising electricity rates in the future.
Empa Solar Energy Europe is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in Poland, serving the European market. We specialize in C&I energy storage systems for factories and warehouses, industrial battery storage systems for heavy-duty applications, factory energy storage systems (ESS) to optimize production, commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS) for retail and offices, enterprise storage solutions for corporate campuses, industrial park energy storage for multi-tenant sites, commercial battery storage for peak shaving, industrial battery storage systems for backup power, and remote base station power solutions for telecom towers. Our portfolio also includes lithium-ion batteries, system-level battery management systems (BMS), energy conversion systems (PCS), energy storage battery system cabinets, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, integrated PV-storage systems, distributed energy resources, deep discharge battery technology, and containerised BESS. As a full-service provider, we also offer modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Europe.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation. Whether for remote base stations, off‑grid power systems, backup emergency power, integrated PV-storage or large zero‑carbon parks, our products feature advanced thermal management, deep discharge cycling, and compliance with European and international standards. We also provide professional energy storage system installation and after‑sales support across Europe.
