Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Researchers from Michigan State University, NOAA, NASA, and USGS have created GM-SEUS (Ground-Mounted Solar Energy in the United States), a comprehensive dataset of 15,000 solar arrays and 2.9 million panels across utility and commercial-grade solar farms in the lower 48 states plus Washington D.C. The dataset is divided into arrays and panels components and includes visual heatmaps showing the distribution of solar assets across the country.
