EIA data on total US grid-connected solar. Currently they estimate 3.5 GW of capacity. This is split roughly three ways between utility, commercially sited (on office buildings etc), and residential. Commercial is a little ahead of the other categories.

I'm a scientist and innovator in the technology industry, with a broad range of interests and experiences. I have a Physics PhD, MS in CS, and have done research, lived in cohousing communities, run a business, and designed technology products. Professionally, I have mainly worked on computer security problems, with a particular focus on computer malware control. Currently I mainly do expert witness work, and run a green property company.
