How Many Solar Panels Would It Take to Power the United States? The Math Behind the Megawatts

How Many Solar Panels Would It Take to Power the United States? The Math Behind the Megawatts

Let's start with a mind-blowing statistic: The U.S. consumed 4,048 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in 2022 alone. That's equivalent to powering 338 million homes for a year - which makes sense, since there's about 332 million people in the country. Now here's the million-dollar question: Could we actually replace all that power with solar panels? And if so, how many would we need? [2021-10-21 02:16]
