The Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) updated their SunShot Initiative from 2011 when U.S. installed solar power was 3 GW (< 0.1% of electrical supply). As of 2017, 47 GW generates 1% of U.S. electricity while the solar industry has achieved SunShot’s original 2020 goal of $0.06/kWh for utility-scale PV. The new goal is $0.03/kWh by 2030.
