Large corporations in the United States have more than 1 gigawatt of solar capacity currently installed, reports the “2016 Solar Means Business Report” from the Solar Energy Industries Association. These systems collectively produce 1.5 million MWh annually. SEIA says its report is not a comprehensive look at corporate solar; more than three fourths of the SEIA dataset is large retailers.
