In this article, we'll offer a detailed analysis of solar farming's profitability, examining factors like technological advancements, government incentives, and market trends that influence its economic viability. Solar farming can be profitable, with average returns of 10-15% annually.
In simple terms, the profitability of a PV system relies on the selling price of electricity (FiT) exceeding the cost of electricity generation (LCOE).
We expect the combined share of generation from solar power and wind power to rise from about 18% in 2025 to about 21% in 2027. In our STEO forecast, utility-scale solar is the fastest-growing source of electricity generation in the United States, increasing from 290 BkWh in 2025 to 424 BkWh by 2027.
We expect that solar electricity generation supplied to the grid managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) will grow from 56 BkWh in 2025 to 106 BkWh by 2027. Increasing amounts of battery storage capacity help to support the fluctuations in solar output during the day.
