U.S. solar energy map


This is a map of our solar energy resource areas in the United States. It shows the hot spots, like in the southwest for example as you get closer to the desert it gets hotter due to the high heat in the desert areas of Nevada, California and Arizona. Great places for solar exploration. The Midwest in some areas gets pretty hot as well and has a good source of solar energy also. Notice Alaska in dark grey, we have mild summers and freezing, long dark, cold winters. Not the best place to explore for solar energy.
