Abstract
Solar photovoltaic (PV) installations continue to be a growing trend within the renewable energy sector. Using data provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to generate density maps, this project demonstrates the increased development of solar facilities over time across the United States. It provides a visual analysis of geographic locations suitable for harvesting solar energy and can serve as a guide for potential future installations.
