Solar power in Texas, a portion of total energy in Texas, includes utility-scale solar power plants as well as local distributed generation, mostly from rooftop photovoltaics. The western portion of the state especially has abundant open land areas, with some of the greatest solar and wind potential in the country.
The current developer is Recurrent Energy, LLC, a division of Canadian Solar. CIT Group arranged for financing of $162 million of the $234 million project, which finally broke ground in July 2020.

The Roserock Solar Facility is a 157 MW AC (212 MW p) photovoltaic power station in Pecos County, Texas. It was the largest solar project in Texas when completed in late 2016. The facility is dispersed over about 1300 acres of land already developed for oil and gas by Apache Corporation.
Transitioning Texas away from coal and toward wind and solar will be critical to the state's electric reliability in the near term, especially as the state is still working to recover from its ...
Managing solar radiation using aerosols or cloud cover would involve changing the ratio between direct and indirect solar radiation. This would affect plant life [ 65 ] and solar energy . [ 66 ] Visible light, useful for photosynthesis, is reduced proportionally more than is the infrared portion of the solar spectrum due to the mechanism of Mie ...
The University of Texas Solar Vehicles Team (UTSVT) is a student-driven effort to design, build, test, and race solar vehicles for the purpose of reinforcing skills learned in the classroom, raising awareness of solar power, and bringing solar power closer to practicality.
AUSTIN, TEXAS — Solar power has played a small but crucial role in keeping the lights — and air conditioning — on in Texas amid this week’s brutal heat wave. Solar plants gave the state ...
A new report shows Texas led the country in new solar capacity in 2023, putting California in the No. 2 spot for the second time in three years.
