Grid operators reported zero issues managing the bulk electric system as Monday’s total eclipse briefly shaded solar panels across ISO-NE, NYISO, MISO, SPP and ERCOT.

A healthy project pipeline notwithstanding, New Jersey has dropped in solar industry rankings for annual new capacity, from No. 9 in 2019 to 20th in 2021.
