Hijacking your comment to say that the fine print in the EIA chart cited by the person you're replying to says they're only accounting for new and utility scale generation. Utility installs dwarf residential, but if you add all non-utility generation it's quite a bit more substantial, and it was 'only' until early to mid 2010's that utility installations outpaced other installs. According to an industry group, 20GW of solar was installed last year (3.1GW residential), representing 43% of new generation capacity: https://www.seia.org/research-resources/solar-market-insight-report-2020-year-review https://www.seia.org/research-resources/solar-market-insight... According to EIA, new wind generation in 2020 was a bit over 14GW. Walking back from 20GW being 43%, that means in 2020 we had 46GW installed overall, so wind was 30%. By any measure, 73% of new generation being renewable is pretty impressive. Worldwide the number of solar installs looks almost logarithmic.
