The United States produced 15 TWh of photovoltaic solar power in the 12 months ending in Oct 2014.
The U.S. installed 1,354 megawatts (MW) of solar photovoltaics (PV) in the third quarter of 2014 to total 16.1 gigawatts (GW) installed PV capacity, with another 1.4 GW of concentrating solar power (CSP) capacity, enough to power 3.5 million homes.
Each Gigawatt of installed solar power produces less than one Terawatt hour of power.
United States nuclear power has 99.1 GW of operating power and it will generate about 790 TWh of power in 2014.
There has been a proposal to build out solar power to 10% of the electrical power needs of the United States by 2030.
