A new report from the Frontier Group, and the Environment America Research & Policy Center reveals which U.S. cities are leading the way on solar energy. 

The report designates Los Angeles a “Solar Superstar,” meaning it boasts 100 or more watts of solar PV capacity installed per capita. Los Angeles is home to 649.9 megawatts of solar capacity total, which comes out to 166.7 watts per person. San Diego has the next highest rooftop solar capacity with 468 megawatts.

Honolulu is the best U.S. city for solar energy. That’s according to a new report highlighting the adoption of PV systems in the country.

The top nine U.S. cities for solar power combined have more solar installed than the entire country did 10 years ago, according to a new study released Tuesday by Environment America Research & Policy Center and Frontier Group.
