Solar power in Texas, along with wind power, has the potential to allow Texas to remain an energy-exporting state over the long term. The western portion of the state especially has abundant open land areas, with some of the greatest solar and wind potential in the country.[2][3] Development activities there are also encouraged by relatively simple permitting and significant available transmission capacity.[4][5]

Solar farms

{{Main|List of power stations in Texas#Solar farms}}

The capacity of large solar farms in Texas have increased substantially in recent years. Facilities sized between 5 and 50 MW began to come online throughout the state between about 2010 and 2015.[6][7][8][9] Since then, progressively larger farms have been constructed in the western counties, with the electricity being contracted by utilities which serve the more populated central and eastern regions.[10][11][12][13] The three largest operating facilities as of 2018 are the 180 MW Upton[10] farm in Upton County, and the 157 MW Roserock[11] and 154 MW Buckthorn[12] farms in Pecos County. Smaller installations by individuals, cooperatives, and businesses are also continuing to add significant capacity, with some of top contractors in the state including Meridian Solar, Longhorn Solar, Axium Solar and Native.[14]

Generation-utility scale

Using data available from the U.S. Energy Information Agency's Electric Power Annual 2016[21] and "Electric Power Monthly Data Browser",[22][23][24][25] the following table summarizes Texas's solar energy posture.

Capacity factor for each year was computed from the end-of-year summer capacity.

2017 data is from Electric Power Monthly and is subject to change.

Generation-small scale

Beginning with the 2014 data year, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) has estimated the distributed solar-photovoltaic generation and distributed solar-photovoltaic capacity.[26] These non-utility-scale appraisals evaluate that Texas generated the following amounts of additional solar energy:

201496 141

Potential generation

Covering half of the roof with 10% efficient photovoltaics is sufficient to generate all of the electricity used by an average family in Texas. Solar farms are more cost effective in West Texas, where insolation levels are greater.[28] The US uses about 100 quads of energy each year.[29] This number is expected to be reduced by 50% by 2050, due to efficiency increases.[30] Texas has the potential to generate 22,786,750 million kWh/year, more than any other state, from 7,743,000 MW of concentrated solar power plants, using 34% of Texas,[31] and 131,200 million kWh/year from 97,800 MW of rooftop photovoltaic panels, 34.6% of the electricity used in the state in 2013.[32]

Texas electricity consumption in 2010 was 358,458 million kWh, more than any other state, and 9.5% of the US total.[33]
