Affordable Solar & Wind

Solar industry in $ in the U.S. and in Texas?

I need to know how much the solar industry generates in revenue in the U.S. annually. Also, I need to know how much it generates in Texas. I've looked all over for this info and cannot find anything. Thanks!
LOL Bob, thanks for your response and commentary about liberals. Companies in the industry are making money in solar, i.e. manufacturers, retailers, installers. Those are the numbers I'm looking for.

According to the article below, the USA is now 3rd in the world...

"According to EPIA's data, Spain ranked first in 2008 new installations with 2,511 MW, followed by Germany with 1,500 MW, and the United States at number three with 342 MW. Following those countries were South Korea at fourth with 274 MW in 2008 new installations, Italy at fifth with 258 MW, Japan at sixth with 230, Czech Republic at seventh with 51 MW, Portugal at eighth with 50 MW, Belgium at ninth with 48 MW, and France at tenth with 46 MW, the report said."

You can work backwards by assuming those 342 MW cost $7/watt.

You might also check the SEIA's (Solar Energy Industries Association) site for info. I don't know if they publicly post state-by-state info. California's info is on a California website, and I think that's 90% of the US market. Things may shift in 2009, with aggressive tax credits going to all states, now.

LowEnergy Passive Solar Residence in Austin, Texas $151.35 Abruptly 40 of the world has hothumid climate. In hothumid climate, the wide span of temperature and humidity cause architectural designers a huge trouble to design a nonair conditioned built environment, if they have to design to provide optimum thermal comfort throughout the year. Therefore, from the ages, in every civilization, it has been an eternal challenge for designers, to design a thermally comfortable built environment for the climatic condition. In 1980s with the invention of mechanical ventilation the world changed; it erased the history old architectural research to search the optimum inside building comfort by passive solar design. Now, its time to oil our historyold research to find the way the design for the optimum comfort by only design. Two major issues temperature and humidity; to solve them Ive chosen the wind and the sun. For wind power, I conceptualized a wind catcher; and to get the maximum use of the sun I designed a concave glass wall to absorb the highest amount of solar radiation. From a simple simulation of the design in Autodesk Ecotect showed more than fifty percent of reduction of discomfort degree hours.
